Hi there hope all is well with you. No update of course. After reading the last few post I have lost all hope in a prayer to see my hubby home by Aug. We are heading into 9 months soon. And only 1 request back in Sept. I wish that IMM would get things straight on what they are doing. When I called about that extra $1500 fee they told me he was fine if he paid his way home and I now read that. wow great.
I was planning on going to see hubby in April but I guess not. I am just frusterated with the whole thing. I feel again its all on my shoulders to bring up the fees. Just annoyed with it all thats it. Nothing against noone here at all. I see all you old timers ...hehe still here and think ok so by seeing that he could be looking at another year. You get told this and that by the so called Imm Lawyers and I don't buy any of it.
If they ask for that $1500 how much time do they give you and where and how do you pay? Hubby seems to think he will be here reallllll soon, and they will just call him and bam bam he is done. I say keep dreaming. And settle back in.

Would be nice to see the timelines actually followed. Sorry about the rant just having a day.. grrrrr

Hey Glo,

No, the fees are non refundable. So, if they refuse his application, not only will I be completely devistated but I will be out $2000!! and I understand what you are saying about feeling that all the pressure of paying the fees is onmy shoulders....it is so bad there, how can he be expected to come up with that much money?!?!?! Oh well, the things we do for love...

Homesoon,

Have you heard about why your ecas says decision made??

Off to work have a great day ppl.

Hey

sassy,,,missing

Yesturday i am not to sure what i was expecting...but i am glad she found out some info and for that i am grateful

From what it looks like is when you are asked to redo police clearances there isnt a wham bam you done you have to wait for there check to clear cause they always will do theirs ....and oviously they give it a month from submission....i am assuming the 60 day timeline has something to do with it .... Hence the febuary 14th BF date Our meds show in the system as valid till december but that is it....So from what i can gather is there recieved but not viewed... Once the checks clear then they will look at the meds

What a process hopefully this gives everyone a idea to what is taking place

Glo...I really do hope that all goes good for you ....but it hard to keep faith i know....keep strong Glo
i Hope you have a good day at work

Hi Sassy - when my lawyer sent an email to CIC to tell them about the ecas update and ask for clarification, here is what they responded (btw - they responded to her within 2 days):

"Dear Mr Gagne,

We can only assume that "null" is a typo error as we ae not familiar with the term either. Your client's interview date is schedule for February 24, 2010 at 8:00A.M."

So - they never did respond about why there is a new update file open with "Decision Made" .... grrrrrr

Honestly to everyone ... I can sense that all of our frustration levels have spiked. I too read the update on the ARC timeline for her hubby and it's depressing. It would mean my hubby wouldn't be home until 2011. And it also makes me worry even further about why we have an interview at this stage. Really - what could it be about? Being married for over 14 years I don't think it's questioning that. And it would seem to early for anything else no?

It's tough because I have you guys for a source of info (past experiences etc). My husband has everyone else who are almost being too optimistic .. and I don't want to but negative thoughts in his head and get him worried for no reason.

Lonely - I am feeling for you right now. I keep praying that you'll get good news really soon. Honestly, I truly feel you will. Not psychic - sorry .....

Missing. Feb 14th huh? well maybe the IO will be feeling all sentimental that day and inspired to move things along with your file!
Good for you about staying ontop of things. I think we spend too much time worrying about persception and how the IO's will judge us or how it will affect how they handle our files. We have a right! We are fighting for our families here.

Ok - it's Friday! That's a good thing right? And next week is a new week and I've already predicted updates.

Good morning my family, I hope there is still time today for someone to get some good news.
Until then, here is a little giggle

In reaching his plane seat, a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped into the seat next to him. The man asks the stewardess for a cup of coffee and the parrot squawks, "And why don't you get me a whisky you bitch." The stewardess, flustered by the parrot's outburst, brings back a whisky for the parrot but inadvertently forgets the man's cup of coffee. As the man nicely points out the omission of his coffee to the stewardess, the parrot downs his drink and shouts, "And get me another whisky you slut." Visibly shaken, the stewardess comes back with the parrot's whisky but still no coffee for the man. Unaccustomed to such slackness, the man decides that he is going to try the parrots approach, "I've asked you twice for a cup of coffee wench, I expect you to get it for me right now or I'm going to slap that disgustingly ugly face of yours!" Next thing they know, both the man and the parrot are wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by 2 burly stewards. Plunging downwards to the ground the parrot turns to the man and says, "For someone who can't fly, you sure are a lippy bastard... "

Wow congrats on your update!!!!!! I can feel your happiness finally some good news
I am so happy for you guys
I don't post here much, but from time to time I read a few postings and I just wanted to congratulate you on your update.

We applied for a TRV which got denied this past Monday. The reason for a TRV was for him to be here for the birth of our son who is due FEB 6. They just handed out around 20 denial letters to everyone not even giving them the chance for an interview.We were pretty upset, but hopefully the Perm residence application will go through soon. Keeping fingers crossed.

To everyone else, I hope you will get some updates sooonnn!!! They need to be working on some files that have been pending for a while!
