Kingston,Jamaica

Yes, about two weeks from the drop-off date. I just looked back at my stats and see that I got the request Mar 30, so I know I dropped it off the Tues after which was Apr 3 and got it back on Apr 13, so it was actually 10 days later.

You won't believe it until he is there at the airport kissing and hugging you, believe me. It was 2:30 a.m. in the morning when I saw my husband that it was finally real for me that I had landed in Canada, up until then everything had the surreal quality of a dream, even the actual landing in Pearson didn't seem real because he wasn't there.

You won't believe what I just did....I flipped to my 2012 calendar to visually see your dates. LOL

Kingston received in hand last week Wednesday so I'm hoping that Monday/Tuesday it will be en route back to hubbie.

I totally understand what you mean. Even though he got the request, we're still acting like nothing has happened yet. We both said it won't feel real until he boards that plane and heads northbound to Oh Canada!

LOL, I had to check them myself. I hope it goes back to him ASAP then, and you get all this over with and get on with your lives!

Hey chickie72! I have been around, not had much chance to catch up with the forum in a while now. I mentioned some time ago that a close family member passed away suddenly, and it has really affected my Mom and Grandma, so in between work, keeping an eye on my husband and just the generalities of life, I have been spending time keeping tabs on them. It is quite a task when one is in Jamaica and the other in the US, but thank God for Skype and long distance phone cards! My Mom was sick at home and my Grandma was in the hospital, so suffice it to say that the start of 2013 has been really challenging for me. They are both doing way better this week, so I am really thankful for that.

School went well, I passed both exams with good marks. I am now qualified to prepare income tax returns in Canada, LOL. Straightforward ones, that is, I am by no means an expert on complex situations. I hope to continue the training to get to that stage later on, though. For now, at least my husband and I don't need to pay anyone to do that for us anymore.

It was 2 weeks, Halfmoon. I submitted it on Apr 3, got it back on Apr 17 or 18, I think.

awww sorry to hear about so many challenges that have crossed your path since 2013 but I am glad to hear they are doing much better!
Cool on passing your exams......since you have tax knowledge i have a question for LOL j/k

Glad you stopped in to say hello! You are missed around here!

 

[CharlieD10]

Thanks, chickie72, I'm sure you guys have managed fine though! Life is a challenge, I just hope for the strength needed for each new day.

Well, the husband and the dogs have decided it is bed time, I must to join them. Keep the faith, all, enjoy your weekend whatever you do with it (some of you will be digging out, I will be enjoying not digging out, haha!).

Thank you for the warm welcome! I have been checking out the forum and there is a lot of valuable information on this site! I'm excited to get to know everyone more as we go through this together.
Is it possible to send to much information with the application? I have pages and pages of phone records from the last 4 years and wondering if it is necessary to send everything?
Also, if the directions ask only for photocopies are there any documents that we should send originals, like marriage certificate, birth certificates...ect.?

Charlie, so sorry to hear about your family member's passing. My deepest condolences. I pray Mommy and Granny are well soon too. Great to see you back in the forum sharing love. Still waiting for the passport request on my end.

Does anyone know what are the things that could delay processing? My MP confirmed a few weeks back when he made an inquiry that everything in our file is in order and fine and that Kingston said it was just processing time. It seems like they are waiting to the bitter end for us and not sure what would cause that. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks all and have an excellent Sabbath!

 

[firstladyking]

Wish I had an update but no cigar. Next week should be more promising though.

Girl your man coming home honey! Just hang on, you are days away from your reunification.
To God be the glory, GREAT things He has done!

hey there Greengurl.....welcome to the forum....nice to have you here sis in our family....it never to much information for you to send send with your application.the more info the better for you....take it like this you are at court for a murder case and they accuse you for murdering your dog....To clear yourself of the case....you have to show them alot of solid proof for them not to convict you of the crime.....So in theis process you have to show alot of proof to say you have hubby have a genuine relationship going and it not a fraud....dont send the original copy of your of your marriage and birth certificate at all until the request for them....Just send photo copy of them. When they are ready for the original they will let you know......I hope this help you out....Welcome to the forum and do stay... you will get good advice from everyone here

Good morning family........Maddants a letter from your wife family and friends would be good to increase your proof of your marriage. In the letters they could state if they attended your wedding, if you talk on the phone, also mention on how they feel your love for each other is strong. Hope that helps Maddants but I think it's an excellent idea.
