Hey everybody

I just joined this forum and I'm happy I found this group. Makes the waiting time a little bit nicer. I would like to be on the April 2013 spreadsheet but I can't send private messages at the moment. It's not working on my phone and I'm still waiting for internet access at our new condo so that I can use the laptop again.

...

Hi "little_apple" and welcome! I love your user name! You've been added :) We can endure the waiting together, eh!

Thank you very much! So nice of you to help :)

Looks like not all Visa Offices are on strike....
 
Thanks NicAnn for adding me. My boyfriend calls me little apple sometimes that's why I chose it as a nickname ;-)

When you get the message *decision made*, how do you now that it is a positive result until you get the actual confirmation? Just wondering...

Two months is really fast. Wow! Especially when the average processing time is a year or more...

does anyone here know why there is two different UCI number for husband and wife and has same file number? its been 5 months it still says decision made and med recievedd.
 
The file number is for the application package itself but the UCI number is your individual (!) client number. I got mine when I first applied for a work permit in 2011 and it will always be the same. My boyfriend got his UCI after applying as my sponsor.

OH Wow great news! Congrats!!!!!
 
You've been updated, GiftedKoala, and have to admit I'm more than just a little jealous. Oh well, all in God's time, it is growing me into a more patient person, or maybe just revealing how impatient I truly am. sigh.
 
that's so fast! omg
