hi all...long time no read :) i hope all of your families are well and those of you waiting get answers soon! Is there any update on a meetup? I will be returning to JA in early july although i will be taking the scenic route, Calgary driving to Montreal and catching a flight from there, so if there is anything going on in Toronto around then i would be interested...I am just in the process of trying to organize the evidence of our relationship and I am wondering if any of you have suggestions on how to arrange/present this "evidence"?

Georgee, hey! It's good to know you are still about and working on that application.

What I did was to organize the forms as per the document checklist, first the sponsor's, then the applicant's documents, then I arranged the relationship evidence. I arranged it according to type, separated by labeled tabs. So I had a section for
-emails,
-Yahoo chat logs
-Skype calls,
-MSN chat logs,
-letters of support from family and friends,
-our wedding items (invitation, receipts for services from the minister and the restaurant and copies of cards received),
-FB posts and
-financial support/matters (western union receipts, utility bills, grocery bills, credit card statements).

I also arranged our photographs on chronological (date) order, starting from some webcam pics first taken for each other to our wedding pics, honeymoon pics and outings.

It's really up to you how you want to do it. As each relationship is unique, so is each application. What you want to do is to ensure that everything is neatly organized and easily recognised by the IO.

Good Evening Forum Family..

I have been going through some relationship issues, personal issues and a combination of the two. I have been reading although not posting as I was on a downer since I left Jamaica early April.

I am hoping to hear some good news this upcoming week as movement seems to be slow these past few weeks. It was like wham bam tons of posts and updates to a few skeleton few posts with no word from Kingston at all. I think that means they are working hard to complete the next weeks of updates and more good news for the forum family to receive pp request and pp pick ups etc.

I hope all is well with everyone...and take care...

Aww Can-Indy-Jam, we all go through those times! The good thing is, you have come through it enough that you have reached out and connected with others. I can tell you from personal experience that when struggling through hard times, one of the most difficult things for me was admitting I needed contact with others to lift me. I've been there and done that through some serious issues, I know how it feels to be alone and wonder if anyone could possibly understand what is going on inside you. If you ever want another listening ear, with the assurance that whatever you say goes no further than the doorpost, PM me for contact info.

I prefer to tell myself when KG is quiet, they are working hard! I also remind myself that we here on this forum are but a sampling of all the applications KG must process, so when they are quiet, it's not because they are doing nothing, it's because there are other families out there to reunite, they just haven't found their way to this forum and don't know about the support that is available to them while they too wait. :)

Take it easy, and remember, whatever it is, it's only life, we all get through it! :)

Hello Forum friends...I have been a little busy the last few days. So hubby got another call yesterday asking him for his itinerary to show that he is leaving the island before June 11....so I had to book the ticket (may 28) and fax it to him as they asked him to bring it into today between 1:30-2:30pm. The IO apparently had told him to do so when he couriered his PPand original docs ...i guess thats why he did not get back his PP/Visa yet. I am hoping when he goes today they will just give him his PP back as he is traveling all the way from Ochi.

Charlie....do you still have mangos on the brain? Since hubby is coming toKGN today I should tell him to bring to scandal bag and fill up but lawd dem agu ripe before him reach Canada....lol

Anyways I hope all is well with everyone.

Morning ladyposh and one and all :)

I guess your husband missed something very important on that call! Itineraries have been requested from some members before, one person was given about 6 days to leave the island if I remember correctly (Sickntired) and she had to scramble to buy a ticket. She was required to bring it with her when she went in, and she received her PP with visa within a couple days. Hopefully the same will apply for your husband.

The mango tree is still here, still dropping them on the roof and scaring the daylights out of me when it happens while I'm sleeping. I still can't persuade hubby to let me buy a chainsaw, so they are very much on the brain. Day before yesterday we got some good rain, and you should have heard them falling out of the tree three or four at a time. :eek:

I need to finish this book I am reading and then head into HWT. Hope everyone has a great day! NEXT!

georgee.. welcome back :) just noticed your name on the tracker and wondered... are you still planning on applying the conjugal route?

i just wanted to give you heads up that we had our only decline to date come from someone applying from that category a few months back... I'm not sure if you saw the details but the situation was that basically CIC believed the relationship was genuine, but felt the couple did not provide ample proof that they couldn't live together and meet common law (specifically the sponsor didn't provide any proof she couldn't live in Jamaica)...

there's a grey area of whether you can/cannot stay over that 6months per year... i think from a commonwealth country you can leave for the day and come back and stay another 6m., but not sure... i don't believe she tried that or got anything from PICA restricting her from meeting the common law requirement (and remember even if you can't get visitor visa, you'd have to show you also were not eligble for work/school visa either to be on the safe side)...

just thought i'd add that to the things you should have to be preparing if you are still applying conjugal...

oh, and ecas is in the process of being revamped/replaced so it's more unreliable than ever for everyone across the board... apparently there are some indications that there *may* be movement on an account, but if you find that many people get the same updates, it's probably a system upgrade thing... and eCas isn't really something you "get" its something you use for tracking your file... there is service you can sign up for that sends an email to you when your eCas is updated... some people have signed up and it does indeed update you... i guess there is always that risk of privacy violations, but some swear by it...

hope it helps some

just to add to that, http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/kingstonjamaica-t29680.8205.html post 8217 by Vanny was where it was announced... i believe she had decided to go ahead with the marriage and was making plans last time she posted... hopefully she will come back and update us!!! (and while i feel for her, hopefully she doesn't mind me using her case to help others along the way)
