I was dreading the day that Canada would update the processing times on their website.

This day has finally come.
I'm going to eat a bucket of ice cream and a dozen donuts now.

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the forum, and I've been reading about your stories for awhile now. I filed for my husband in July of this year and the anticipation is killing me! I can't imagine waiting even one more month.. but by the looks of it I have a long time to go!

Quick question.. Have any of you applied for your wife/husband to visit using a Temporary Visa while the Permanent Visa is in processing?

Thinking about doing this... Hoping I can get some of your thoughts/feedback

Oh my goodness Danielle I can't believe it went up another 2 months...I totally have been eating my feelings through this immigration process I am totally eating chocolate ice cream as I type!!

good morning n welcome to the forum family ..... in response to your question there have been many who have tried to get a trv for there hubby during the wait however most have been unsuccessful. Kingston is very tight on issuing trvs in the first place as u have to prove you have ties to jamaica mhouse land good paying job children etc n even then the chances are slim to none.....addd having a spouce in canda whi has applied for perment residences for you n the chance of getting trv is even slimmer......the road is rough n quite discouraging but you have found us here this page is a support system filled with people who are going through the process n people who have already been through it like my self.....good luck stick around we are here to support you welcome to the famjam......please tell the class a little about your self so our home girl chickie chickie can add u to the spread sheet......if you click on the link below her name you will see the spread sheet with all our stats.....good luck n the process

Good morning. Jam/Fam.

I too noticed that the processing time has changed to changed to 22 months, how sad. How much more can people on the forum endure. **This is just a test of patience** This immigration race is not for the swift but for those who can endure.

I am starting to believe that this is sad way to remind us of what is important and not to waste the time that we have together when we are reunited with our spouse. Maybe it's a way of saying "forget and forgive the small stuff" and concentrate on what is really important, like love. I used to call hubby and get upset for everything little thing out of fustration..the immigration process, the saying goodbye at the airport but now I try to take it all in stride. Instead of getting mad I take the time to tell him how important he is in my life even if we are not physically together. I am working on a different way to connect intimately with him while keeping my sanity.

I know that this process is dreadful..but please remember to be kind to yourself and don't be afraid to Love your way through this process. Everyone will get through it..it is just a matter of time.

Be blessed everyone and have a wonderful day. I feel that Kingston has a surprise for someone this week. Who knows it could be YOU!.

Welcome to our forum family aa!

As Ready has explained several people have applied for a TRV during this process and have been unsuccessful.

Things have been VERY quiet in Kingston lately but hopefully the passport requests start rolling so we can be reunited with our families!!!!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the banana boat ride!

Good Morning Jam Fam;

I took a sabbatical from the forum but was going through withdrawal symptoms so I am back ;D

A BIG WELCOME to all newbies; I wish you all the best on your journey and hope you find the support you need while on the forum with us.

O&O keep the faith; maybe its best to leave now and go prepare for hubby before he arrives in Christmas.

Nev, Chickie I believe the officer that has your files are jealous of your love; they can't hold you down for much longer

Maddants I read where you got a call for address verification; this made me smile as I feel shiny visa is on its way. Enjoy wifey and the warm weather.

Big Big Shout out to FAD and C&T for your constant encouragement to the JA Fam :-*

Everyone not called by name nuff love to you all as we are all in this together and every single one of you are in my prayers daily.

Kingston galang with u 22mths; God's will must prevail.


Enjoy the rest of the week family.

Good morning everyone!

Just catching up on reading the forum. Thanks for the well wishes!
The wedding went great and we had great weather. I didn't want the day to end!!

We are in Port Antonio right now enjoying a little honeymoon.

I'm feeling so discouraged about the 22 month processing time. Sigh.......

C'mon Kingston.... Please make someone's day today!!!
