Problem is that nowadays people think of their homes as an investment and not what is is - A HOME.

Exactly Willy !!! I have seen close Friends ( one has build his own House ) just because they now owe more than the House is Worth , they just left it and I bet they now Rent at not much less of a Monthly payment . I really don't know what was in their Mind to do this . I can see if you have two-three Houses , but the one you LIVE in ?

GOOD for you Gerry, A nice surprise is all everyone needs, I hope Fiona is very elated to see your return, As for those beautiful eyes, I hope to look deep in to the eyes of my  beautiful Chinese wife again on December 22.  John.

Thanks Maxx Very useful information (knowledge is Power) Just finishing up with the NVC and moving on to the interview process.... hoping for the beginning of the year. She will be getting a spouse Visa if the interview goes well can't help to get a queasy stomach thinking about it, but  she is armed with 4 big binders of pictures- e-mails-phone records -receipts ect ect ect - My sweet LaoPuo is nervous about answering questions of a most personal nature. I told her just to say "all night long" and "best ever" in other words.......lie lie lie

[john1964]

he he , good answers, My wife was not asked any personal questions in our interview, just mainly questions about my family members ages and my general information , The interview went very well and now nearly two months later we are getting closer to a decision, I received  and email from our immigration lawyer a week ago saying that my wife's application was under consideration at this moment, A few sleepless nights have followed, I have never been so nervous in my life until now, Waiting, waiting, waiting, John .

I don't think anyone has to worry about being asked questions of a very  personal nature. That would not permitted in most countries.  If they did you would have a case against that person under some statutue or other and get them classified as a pervert. In the UK they would end up on the sex offenders register so it is a definate no go area.

In all my years I have never heard of anyone being asked about what happens after dark, under sheets or whatever you like to call it.

I await with interest as to if any person has first hand knowledge that this was not the case.

The nearest my friend got to a bedroom question was 'what is the colour of the bedroom walls' and 'where is the alarm clock situated' This was in response to the application for permanent residency of UK two years after marriage.

I haven't heard as well any of this questions when the spouse is applying from overseas. But if the applicant is already living in our country on another type of visa, and then applies for permanent because of marriage in country, then personal questions will be asked. They usually interview both parties separately. If answers such as how often they do the horizontal tango every month do not agree, then the application will be viewed as bogus.

But Do you know that as fact or heresay Ron. I would not want couples to be practising the translations for things that will never be asked.

For Aus in particular, it is expressley written in the Immigration Charter and Procedures that it is against our Law to ask any questions reference personal sexual matters.

They can sort of skirt around this subject by asking if you stayed in the same room whem visiting your G/F. fiance or Wife when you visited...but they can go no further than this.

Officers may need to closely examine evidence that a marriage took place. Photographs or other
documents used as evidence of a marriage can be altered. Marriage certificates and other
documents may be fraudulent.
In some instances, home visits may be used to establish cohabitation in the case of a marriage or
common-law relationship.

I have heard that they will check the bedroom & washroom and look to see if articles of clothing (ex; Pajama, underwear) and toiletries of both parties are present.

An owner of a video store from India I know, has a relative that supposedly married and when asked how many times a month they were intimate, he said once a month and his supposed wife said 2 times a week.

"check the bedroom & washroom and look to see if articles of clothing (ex; Pajama, underwear)"

Ahhhhh!!!  Not without a warrant they can't (in the US). They can only look at what is in plain site. 

[Willy The Londoner]

Very nice Rhonald but heresay.

One says " My husband told me" heresay not in the hearing of the writer!

'I have heard that they will check the bedroom" heresay heard by another and passed on.

"The ownerof a video store I know" heresay not heard directly by the writer.

What I was looking for is people amongst the 400 here on this forum whom themselves had been asked Intimate questions.

It maybe that Canada has different laws to everyone else. But has anyone actually ever had a HOME visit after submitting the paperwork?

I think you guys trying to get your ladys home have enough paperwork and worries without adding to them things that are heresay and without foundation.

Ha , looks like the Indian husband was missing out , so where was she going ha ha , regards Sujuan and Robert .

You are right (as usual) it is very scary to present potential applicants with fears about intimate questions that will never be asked.

As a FACT, the only questions that Ming was asked by her Case Officer that just barely touched on this subject was "did you stay in the same hotel room together when David visited you in China"...and that was all .

[Willy The Londoner]

I read the official transcript that was written by hand by the interviewer when my friend and his wife had to go to Sheffield in UK for an interview.  The interviewer interviewed them both seperate and asked them both the same questions and wrote down both the question and their answers.  I had a copy of these somewhere.

They asked when and where was their first date. The colour of the bedroom walls was one another was where was the alarm clock. How did they Pay for electricty. And what day did the dustins (garbage cans) get emptied.

They travelled a round trip of about 400 miles for that! She received leave to remain after her two years and nowshe has a UK Passport. The reason for the interview was because of age differences.

Of course I was not present during the interview so I do not have direct proof. The part of the home visit is not from any person but the official Canada document for Visa officers to use. the part ," In some instances, home visits may be used to establish cohabitation in the case of a marriage or
common-law relationship." makes me ask you, what purpose would the visit make if they did not look around the house for evidence? Of course it makes sense that this could only be done with applicants that currently live together in Canada and not abroad.


Now the woman bowere is from another Canada immigration blog site I follow and I have read other peoples response that had personnel questions revelled but hers was the first I found. But since they are not members of this site, I just finished asking my wife.

Now I wasn't in the room when they asked her the question, and it would have been in Chinese anyways so I still do not have first hand knowledge. I am trying to remember that after the interview if I did ask her if any personnel questions was asked. I think I remember also asking then, and that she did say the question on how often love making was done was asked of her.

Willy

I say David that before saying Willy is right and I Ron, I would say it is better to be slightly paranoid and be better prepared. So please David, do not Condemn (this Boy Scout) for having a Condom ready incase he passes first base.
