Last time I saw my wife was 1.5 years ago.
And people complain about 1 month...
All of a sudden I feel we have the worst of it. :| WTF!
TS, 1.5 years is a really really long time and I feel for you. But I didn't mean to start a "whose wait is longer" thing. My point was that no one should be separated from their families for visa reasons. As for us, if it was a month, it wouldn't be that unbearable. But keep in mind that we just submitted our case, and nothing is certain when it comes to CIC. So we really don't know when we will be together again. He is not from a visa-exempt country, so he can't come here (we will try for TRV later- fingers crossed) but basically our only chances of seeing each other is when and if I can travel to visit him. Not a pretty prospect.
We are all in the same boat, we all miss our partners, and we are all going through the stress of increasing wait times. I don't think it's appropriate to downplay someone else's hardships.
