Awww...you are never alone. Always remember that. Talking things through is always helpful even if it’s with strangers. Everyone on this forum has been through a difficult time during this Covid situation and missing our loved ones while we wait for Visa’s to be issued. If you want to talk just send a message...never think your alone
Sorry I’m just seeing this message now...
Hopefully your time is coming soon. Ours was April 2019 and my husband is now finishing up his 14 days of quarantine in Canada. On Saturday he is allowed out and we are travelling to Ottawa to surprise my daughter. She has no idea he is even here and it’s been since March 2019 at our wedding in Jamaica that she last saw him. She will be so excited he has finally made it.
My husband and I were apart for just over 13 months due to Covid and the fact I’m an essential worker. Now he is here and it’s like we were never apart. This process is definitely difficult after a year and 7 months of waiting is was all worth the struggle. You always have people here on this forum to talk to.
Wow...just wow is all I can say. I’ve been married before in 2011 also to a Jamaican and after filing for him and bringing him here he turned out the same way. Within 6 months he was already back to Jamaica twice without me and told me we would never go together because he was going to visit family not for a vacation? What lol. After 9 months of being here I was so fed up I packed his crap and locked him out. He had someone pick him up and he never lived here again. Over the 7 years we were married he has had collections after him, defaulted on a car loan for a BMW that his cousin made the mistake of co-signing for him because I wouldn’t do it. Got convicted of a drunk driving and eventually even his cousin kicked him out. He refused to pay any bills saying if I paid them before why does he have to pay them now? Really? Years later a good friend of his told me he actually had a child in Jamaica that I knew nothing about. He says before the marriage but the friend says after. Who knows. Eventually I filed for divorce and within 3 months of it being finalized I married my 2nd husband who is also Jamaican. Not everyone is a good person but no way was I gonna let my 1st husband turn me into a person who can’t trust and have love in my life. My 2nd husband and I are now together for almost 5 years and married almost 2 years and I couldn’t be happier. Funniest part is I still hear from the first one periodically even though he knows I’m remarried. Still after 9 years of him being in Canada he still gets himself into trouble...oh well not my problem any longer.
Your brave, I will never ever do this again. The stories I have are crazy as well. Mine is going back to ja but wants to go for 10 days before me and then I can come. I just want him to go. There are no more tears, and he tries, he does most things hoping I will lose it.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger...God had a plan for me and the pain I was put through prepared me for a greater love that I was meant to have.
I hope so too but I feel I still have at least a couple of months
Congratulations to you both!! I am very happy for you!! I am from Ottawa..... your daughter will be so surprised to see him again!!! thanks for reaching out Yes, no news for me either (also November 2019 applicant). I have never bothered to write to them since it seems pointless from what most people say. I just try not to stress about it since it's out of my control. It's really tough though for sure. I haven't seen my husband in 11 months now.
It’s 1 year and 4 months now since I’ve seen my husband he wants to visit me so badly but he has pneumonia and he doesn’t want to take the risk of catching covid he is scared of the virus, our only hope in seeing each other right now is me coming.
It definitely sounds like staying put is the better choice for his health. I'm wishing you both the best of luck!
