Good Evening everyone!!!

So, hubby went to the embassy today to drop off medical receipts, ARC letter and fees!!! Yah!! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! So now the wait for the next step begins.

Homesoon, when my hubby had an interview in our first application, his passport was requested, the letter had said that the interview was for the PR application but when we got there, they said it was for the ARC.
I don't have any insight on whether it is good or bad that they requested it but at least something is being done and that in itself is good. Keep your head up!

Soso, I would be interested in a get together! I would need notice though in order to arrange child care.

To everyone else......"HI"!!

 

[homesoon]

Good stuff Sassy! I am so so happy for you and can't wait for you guys to get that call!
Thanks also for the info on your last file. I ordered CAIPS notes today so will keep my fingers crossed that we get them prior to the interview.

I can't wait to meet everyone!

Keep the updates coming JA....

[Maple Syrup]

Morning everyone!! TGIF ;D

Count me in for the get together. If this is a pot luck.... let me know so that I can gracefully bow out of that. NONE of you want to taste my cooking - unless you want to make an unnecessary trip to the bathroom or worse... the emergency room.... :-[

It will be fun!! If only all of our husbands could participate. However, if it works out, maybe we can make it an annual thing or something....

HOLLA!!!

 

[homesoon]

UPDATE .... again..... and I don't think this is good.

So here is what e-case noted today: Decision Made

"We received your null on January 6, 2010.
We sent you a letter on January 6, 2010 to C/O (lawyer infor) on the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. If we have sent the letter to the wrong address, please contact us"

Now I am really worried.
First, what is "we received your null on January 6th" mean???? what is null
Second, they've made a decision and we haven't been asked to pay for apply for our ARC - so it's got to be bad news
Third, they made the deicion BUT we have an interview late Feb? why bother with the interview????

Can anyone share some thoughts? opinions?

Thanks and sorry for being a bother, Homesoon

 

[lonelycanadianwifey]

WOW.......hmm.damn girl ...wtf really...

Doesnt null mean....of zero value.. I dont get any of it.....It has to be a immigration term or a flippin typo...With that crap and the whole caips notes things....they should just talk english and spell it out....bare stupidity

I am unsure but with maples case she wasnt contacted until a year later made to do a interview and already knew there decision....You as you can see you can never be totally sure as everyones case is case specific..

So i dunno wats going on girl...It may be good it may be bad but honeslty i am not in a position to tell you anything .....have you though about contacting ur MP....they do have links in ottawa who will go over the IO notes on the datebase they have access to.....See if they can get a answer as to why decision made and wats going on....Mabey you can try emailing KG to see if hey answer and give a little info to wats going on...

Thats totally insane.....I once again wish i had a answer for you

 

[jamwifey26]

Homesoon:I don't know what to say about your situation. One can only speculate at this point.
What if the interveiw is for the ARC? I honestly dont know but I do wish you the best.


Well another week gone. Not been a bad week we have seen some movement on here. Lets hope next week will be way better.

Bless up everybody and keep the faith.
