well here is my update.....got hubbies notes back again today 
sadly we didn't get over the ARC issue and in the notes it states that hubby will need an ARC.....i really and truly knew this in my heart so it didn't even depress me to read this. Good news tho......ELIGIBILITY: PASSED! Man do they ever check into your life wow.....they said they asked for the documents and RPF fee...."have not requested ARC fee as other documents outstanding" so we emailed today and said that we read in the notes about the ARC and if I can pay it the same way as the RPF and if we can do it now and they email response was rather short and sweet :ARC is paid within JAMAICA......? ? ok thanks for that answer so I emailed back again and asked how and can we do that? No answer back
I was planning on going down to JA on April 26th and was going to buy my ticket on Wednesday.....instincts kept telling me to wait, I wasn't sure why....i even said this to my parents. Well a couple of months ago, I said to God...i am putting everything into your hands now and I truly believe this was God holding me off from buying the ticket since we now have a $400 ARC fee to pay (and i just paid the $490 RPF fee) seeing as we haven't got the request for the ARC but it was all in the notes which I received today (1 week early!) see! God does work in mysterious ways!
My only thing is why not ask for the ARC fees too now.....why make me wait the 6 to 8 weeks for the RPF fee to register....? but such is life.
All in all i am not depressed...i am actually excited because I know now I don't have to do the RCMP fingerprints (RCMP screening came back with no reportable trace -which we already knew it would) so that is a 6 month delay that i don't have to worry about....i truly believe hubby will be home before summer's end and I am good with those statistics!
