Thank you AckTivity, what about you?! Nothing new yet ?! Have you called them ?!
Nothing new. We called last week and were told that, yes, they've received everything we've sent but, no, nothing else has changed. No approval yet. I guess the good news is that it also hasn't been sent to the local office? The guy we talked to did say that normally one wouldn't get the med request before AIP, but that's not always the case.
I did go ahead and order the caips notes though, so maybe that will tell us something? Or, hopefully, we'll get our email sooner than that. I keep trying to tell myself that it'll all work out. We got the med request, so that means someone is working on our file. And if they did the med request I would assume they don't think they'll turn us down. We are a genuine relationship. We've lived together for almost four years. We've been married for over a year. My wife has a good job that earns enough, no bankruptcies, social services, or criminal background (for either of us). We've paid all of the fees and I even sent in the Right of Landing fee already.
So, fingers crossed that it's just a slightly slower caseworker. Hey, maybe we'll even get lucky and get AIP and DM at the same time!
I have to admit, though, it can be a bit disheartening to see people that sent in their applications months after we did, receive their AIP. I mean I'm absolutely thrilled for them but every time someone posts I think, "but where is mine?".
