I did my application entirely by myself, so I'm hoping all turns out well. I had a dream last night that my app got returned to me for the most minute thing that I had forgotten - to check a box of some sort where the answer was obviously stated elsewhere.
Good thing it was just a dream!! I hope that's not a premonition of things to come!

@francohoosier: I had that happen when I did the immigration stuff for my wife to become a permanent resident in the US. In my case the worst that happened was that they asked for a piece of additional documentation or ask you to fix the mistake.
I did the applications by myself this time around as well, so I'm expecting something like that to happen as part of the process. I'm sure everything will turn out okay for us :)

Hello Everyone!
How are we all doing? I'm having a tough time right now. I am finding being away from my husband much harder this time around than any previous times.  The longest we have gone before was 3 months apart and I have only been away 5 weeks and it's just about killing me. I don't know whether it's because previous times I knew when I'd be going back and this time I have no clue....ICK! Trying to look on the positive side and keeping myself occupied, but it's horrible!!  Nice to have other people who understand the feeling.  My husband and I talk on the phone twice a day and he keeps asking me if they have processed his part yet haha I have to keep bringing him down to earth and reminding him of the given time line! Stops me checking the progress like a madwoman haha  Awesome spreadsheet! My VO is London once Mississauga are finished with it! UGH - Hurry hurry hurry! |

Hi Catt!
I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through but I can say that I've been there! Sometimes I think that the immigration process involves too much "keeping people apart" in the quest to keep people together. Take full advantage of the technology that's around now. I didn't have much of it in like 2002-2003 when my wife and I were apart for months at a time and I spent a fortune on phone cards. Make sure you sent each other little messages, use Skype or webcams or Face Time for the iPhone, that sort of thing. I know that sending small messages to each other throughout the day helped my wife and me a lot to feel there was a constant connection. I think those separations made our relationship stronger. I don't think most people have to put as much effort into their relationships as immigrants do, so we value what we have because we really had to fight for it. It's just my opinion, though. Try to look on the bright side and you'll get through it :)

Ooooh - had a mad woman moment and decided to check timelines again. As disappointed as I was to see Step 1 increase by 2 days (38 days), I thought I'd be brave and check Step 2 by country and London, UK has gone from 9 months (when I checked at the beginning of Feb) to 8 months!! Trying to find the positives, but it's driving me crazy! haha

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We received your application to sponsor VERITY MARIE CATT on February 7, 2011.
We started processing your application on March 4, 2011.
We sent you a letter on March 4, 2011 about the decision on your
application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting
us.
It would be a lot easier on a persons nerves if they said what the decision was!!! Is this not a good sign??? Feel sick/excited/apprehensive!!!!!!! |

Ahh congrats Catt! If your app got there on the 7th and they've already issued a decision, that means I can't be far behind!!
 Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thank you
Waiting for the letter to find out what exactly the decision is...is going to be the longest few days/week EVER haha Can't wait to hear the progress on everyone else. Really hoping it's good news for us all!!! I wasn't going to check ecas until the 14th...to fit in with the time line...glad I caved in again and checked. Oh, and for anyone who is wondering - when you go to check on ecas and it asks for your name/d.o.b etc...it only says decision made when using my husbands info - which I guess makes sense as he's the sponsor, but thought I'd let everyone know in case you're only trying out your info as the applicant and it's still not telling you it's being processed.  You may have more luck when the sponsor checks like we did! |
