Congratulations to you our spreadsheet master, tbaba. May you be favored in your new land. We are expecting your landing gist before May ending!

To other members of the house, the price we pay for keeping silent on issues related to our applications with AVO is bogus.
I was in same shoes as the member whose wife would be putting to bed soon but, I was smart and obedient enough to update AVO on the month my wife is due for delivery. They were even asking me to know if baby is going to be delivered in Nigeria and I shouted NO OOOOOO!
Then, they hastened up with the processing of our visas and COPR thus,not making me to vie for the position of Chairmanship of COPA
In all honesty and truth, just update AVO should your situation changes and they will decide as appropriate. I bombarded AVO with so many updates as, marriage, pregnancy, etc. and to every package I send to them, goes with a detailed and well composed/scrutinized cover letter.
Simplebabs landed here in Mid March and the wife is due for this month. Isn't that smart of him?
Be smart, active, and ask questions when in doubt. That has been my Tesla (new car to come without gas) since I landed here.

I wish us all the best.

Thanks Technolee. Its very clear that we all need to speak out fast when we envisage any change coming our way. A very good piece for us the expectant

Congratulations aduni!

To God be the glory, passport request mail gotten yesterday. please which studio can i go to for passport photo?

Thank God for journey mercies Popsicle2014, and thanks much for sharing your experience with us... has the weather started to warm up

Happy Easter Forum Family. My family and I landed in Calgary, Alberta on thursday evening. The landing process was smooth and didn't take more than about 20 minutes. There were no questions about POF. Only about if we were carrying above 10,000 dollars.The only hiccup was having to wait a little for our luggage which in addition to our flight leaving almost an hour late led to missing our connecting flight. The airline however booked us for another flight that evening. Albertans seem quite friendly, a number of people in the airport were quick to offer help and direction even without our asking. I must say that it has been the nicest reception i have received while in the west. We have been doing a lot of sleeping and adjusting to the weather and time zone. The weather was -12 degrees celsius when we arrived at fort mcmurray on thursday night.

Praise God! the dream is now a reality. Looking forward to all our landing updates.

Congratulations to everyone with a positive update. As for those that are still expectant, He who has started a good work will surely complete it. I also want to use this opportunity to Thank God for his faithfulness through this application process and also thank you to everyone that supported and encourage me.
This bible verse kept ringing in my heart as I waited for almost 2 years-He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.New International Version

Another version says- [i]It is beautiful how God has done everything at the right time. He has put a sense of eternity in people's minds. Yet, mortals still can't grasp what God is doing from the beginning to the end [of time].[/i]GOD'S WORD® Translation

I thank God again as this application process ended in Praise.

Congratulations Liss!
