August 2011 applicants lets get the waiting game started :)

[Ryffa_Q]

Thanks peeps...now we know why internet moguls makes so much money especially FACEBOOK creator...keeps me grounded knowing everyone going through the same thing, I guess patience is not one of my virtues

We do the same as in, wake up calls (apparent from phone bills as exact 2minutes call every day around same time) or lunchtime (late dinner for him), BBMs or Watsapp and skype on weekends and whenever possible, thank god for ipads (mobility is key), but it's frustrating in the sense that :

1. when u have something to share i.e. good news bad news, u actually have to wait till he's awake
2. when u just need a hug on a bad day and you only have your neighbor's cat
3. when u have a fight and cant kiss and make up

small things but important to me in a relationship...dumb i know...smacking myself for starting a relationship with someone who lives thousand miles away in the first place whoever thought of absence makes the heart fonder must have only been absent for a day...

good luck awor! I hope you submit it in time for August!

Just catching up here. Essex, glad to hear your daughter is doing better!

Well, my wife is going for her medical today...in 20 mins in fact!

Then, she will Fedex me everything...I hope I get it soon enough to make the August thread.

This 1st stage approval time is a real shit...terrible that its taking longer and longer. I wouldnt put it past the conservatives that this is mandated!! Once I submit I will actually call my MP (conservative) if he can get an explanation why the 1st stage approval is taking longer and longer!

And yes, I also miss my wife terribly...try no to think about it. It is hard when showing the wedding pics to everyone! We talk a LOT everyday, thank god. And I am lucky that she is only one-hour ahead of me. We use an unlimited phone service that I have to call...and often we use MSN with Video...which is great, but still not enough! I do miss falling asleep together, waking together! Her smell! Thank god I have her favorite bottle of perfume to remind me once in awhile! I know this will take a little while, I will go back to see her. And I also have many projects to get the house in order!

Good luck to all! Our turn is coming too!!!

Cheers!

Ok, I am sure this is a tired question, but I am curious when or if CIC acknowledges the receipt of your application? Is there any official response in the first stage? Thanks.

Only way to know they got it is if you had it tracked, and you won't hear anything from them until sponsorship is approved, or they need paperwork from you. Since it's sitting at 55 days now, you won't hear anything for 2 months most likely

App sent today. Familly class - spouse

Yes I sent if Fedex, so it was tracked, received today. Thank you for the info.

i read somewhere that if your spouse is already a PR, they would have had a UCI and that can be used to track whatever progress of any applications in CIC. Is that true? Can we use his UCI to log on E-CAS to see the sponsor stage progress or at least an acknowlegement of receipt? He has been a PR for over 10 years though, do they keep records that long?

leroadrunner hope your wifes medical went ok.
mosa786 congrats that your application was delivered your now in the waiting game
Welcome yperiard i will add you, which visa office are you using?
Sorry Ryffa_Q i'm not sure about any of that might be an idea to see if Leon on the main page knows anything about that
Nice to see things are moving slowly, something is better then nothing

I'm not good at LDR, especially when the time difference means he's awake when i'm asleep and vice versa...any tips?

well, i have little amount of sleep as I wait for him at night and not much work done in my morning coz thats his vacant. So lots of sacrifice to do.. But happy to do it..
