I realized that none had mixed marriages also which is why I didn't instantly think this was a racial comment. I guess unless you really knew that you can possibly read that comment a wrong way. :) Thanks for clarifying though :)
The "that matched" threw me.....why not just say you wish they were able to see their children grow up....... :-X :-X ignore ignore ignore :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yes, the VO were very rude... they would whisper to each other in French.. and I was too overwhelmed after being there for hours to say anything (we were both interviewed). They did keep the passport after the interview was over, the notes have been ordered a few times since. The notes on the interview were not even very accurate, like they were writing them to their own opinion rather then the facts that were said, but what can I even really do about that? They never requested the medical again, but I knew they were going to expire so I decided to take the change and just have my husband re-do them. Just going to start the process to try and track those down now, since his file hasnt been updated with new medicals and he did the exam in Nov, just got the last set of notes a few days ago. Whatever, it will work out, just another thing to laugh at later :)
The interview was in June, my husband picked up his passport in Aug (without the visa ;) ) so he could travel to the states and stay with some friends that live close to myself and our son so we could go see him there :)
I just don't understand how they can just leave everyone waiting so long for decisions....it is definitely frustrating to say the least.

Sorry about the interview. Everything will work out. I didn't know they interview both spouse and applicant, I thought it would be the applicant alone..

I can't imagine it is easy making a decision on someone elses life, especially if there are factors that may make them question anything. I work in government, so I kind of get that there are probably factors out of their control that might hold things up, steps they have to take that seem pointless... I think if there was more communication/updates (when there are any) it would make it easier for those of us that have to wait so long, well anyone actually.

I dont think they usually interview both the applicant and spouse, but I was in JA and I guess they thought they would take the opportunity to talk to me too.


Honestly I think they should let the spouse's have a travel visa... and in order to receive a decision on the file whether approved or denied they would have to return to their country to recieve the answer.

Hang in there CW89 we all go through the highs and lows with the journey. We are in control of ourselves at least and need to try to make the highs last longer and the lows to disperse quickly!!
