Last question, that means that one way tickets are available to purchase on either of the airlines? AC and West Jet?

 

[firstladyking]

Yes Halfmoon, I book one way tickets all the time as it actually is cheaper than booking roundtrip (there's a free travel tip for you ). You can do it even online. I respect your input on the other note, I think it's all a matter of opinion and we all deal with the stress and pressure of waiting in different ways. I think we both agree that MrsIwsn is blessed to have gotten through in 5 months, that's great for her and hubby. Send some of it my way please

 

[needmywife]

i couldn't agree with you more first lady, i think she is just fortunate.

 

[Halfmoon]

Thanks for your note FLK - and thanks for the tip! Every time I book, it always asks for return date so now I learn something new! thank you for that. As for the array of emotions we all go through, most important is try not to worry. Easier said than done, but based on my life experiences, when we worry about things we have no control over, it actually intensifies the situation and in many instances can make matters even worse. If we can keep our faith high and believe that the best possible outcomes will happen, it always does. You WILL be reunited with your husband very shortly.

I know you're right Halfmoon. About 6 months ago I was calm cool and collective, then the last month or so starting to get frustrated again :-\. This is an emotional rollercoaster, I have faith in God alright it is Him who brought me this far with my sanity 8).

Because your husband's medical record is past the 1 year mark, it wouldn't hurt to "consult" with them on this and see if they will provide you with details on where your application stands. It's and indirect way in hopes of getting some answers?

 

[firstladyking]

I get what your saying though. What through email you think? That will take 1 month for them to answer, i think this whole can't get any status on your application thing and we're supposed to be the priority for immigration is a joke. I can think of a million reasons why I think this immigration system is unjust. What well meaning two people in love wouldn't want to get on with the intimate and companionship of their marriage. Making decisions together, something as simple as sharing a meal together or going to the grocery store seems like a luxury to us. I tell you one thing this process is teaching me BIG TIME and that is NEVER to take my husband and the time we have together for granted and I pray to God that He will never let me forget ths experience for as long as He gives me breath to love my husband. I better not talk about this anymore because I will just get depressed :'(.

If I was in your shoes, I would press the MP the reason why they are estimating 2013? Let them know that you appreciate them providing you with a time line however, what are the reasons? If immigration requires each applicant to pay good hard earned money for medicals and PPC to be done and they aren't working diligently to approve within one year, then why not just request that at a later point so it would be less of a chance for expiry and having to pay again! As per their operating manual, their objective is to approve 80% of applications under 6 months. Compare 6 months to 16 months would be deemed unreasonable if you ask a reasonable person in my opinion. If unless there are factors such as criminality, discovery of untruths, etc, then there should be no reason why one's application should be in the pipeline that long.

As for the emailing, you can email them directly to the email address provided in your AOR letter. Ensure you indicate your file number. Based on what I've seen from other ppls feedback, it appears KG is diligent with responding.

My hubby thinks I'm already going crazy! He doesn't want to know anything until it is finished as he doesn't want to be let down...
Yet let doWn for me is not an option! NOT!

Kingston does respond and can be very helpful. I have had to email them a few times when getting my children's citizenship and also for my spousal application. They usually respond within 5 working days.

 

[firstladyking]

Well I can assure you there is no criminal issues neither untruths. I"m getting a bit tired of calling my MP's office, I truly believe they are doing all they can for us, there's only so much they can learn on your behalf. I just pray I can keep my sanity until the end with everyone I know asking me every day when is your husband coming? My kids asking for their step-father, missing him, at work, my relatives, friends, it's just too much and I have no answers, just makes me even sadder. I pray it won't be much longer.

Honestly hoping and praying that this process does not take months and months ... Messed up how people who have no clue what this process is like..people who get to go home to there husnands at night are the ones who hold our faiths in there hands if the could walk on hour in our shoes .. Feel half the loniness we feel I bet they would by paSs all this redtape and stamp all the books with VISas instantly.... Oh lawd I am setting off can anyone tell my high from receiving approval has faded and now gone back to nurotic me lol all I can do is laugh or I will go nuts .. Glad to have u ladies n gents to hold my hand through this process I would go nuts without being able to sign in daily and talkning to u all asking questions getting answers ... Celebrating result and movements even though we don't know each other face to face we are a family here xoxo forum family
