Our LANDING STORY.....Finally!
So as you all know we got our visas issued while we waited in the Kingston office the day after our interview. That in itself was an incredible experience. When we met her in the office I presented her with my 2" binder full of supporting documents and evidence. All she wanted to see was proof that I had visited since the process started and proof that we lived together before we got married.
As soon as she saw the proof that I had visited she said, "okay, I have no question that this is a bonifide and genuine relationship. As soon as you give me your passport s and police certificates, we will issue you the visas while you wait.". I can't tell you the joy that filled my heart. I asked her to repeat herself because I couldn't believe my ears. The tears came like a waterfall. All I could think was how happy my son would be to have his "Teddybear" home.
That night we booked the tickets so my husband and stepson could fly home with me.
We sat on the flight with my stepson at the Window, me in the middle and hubby on the aisle. It was my stepsons first flight ever. He was completely engrossed in the whole process
His face pressed on the glass watching every movement. It was awesome to experience it with him.
We were the third people to get off the plane. We rushed to the immigration line and waited for not more than 15 mind. The officer told us that we should have filled out 2 seperate declaration cards because we didn't live at the same address yet, but she would let it slide. She directed us to the interview room where the officer took our COPR forms and passports and completed us in 5 miss flat. We were done. All in less than an hour.
13 months 3 weeks and 4 days of Hell and 53 mins of processing heaven
So happy and settling in well. Hubby starts work on Monday and son looking for a job.
Trust me. This is just like a bad pregnancy, because when it's all over, all you can think about is the beauty before you.
God bless you all. Love will always reign supreme.
