Its different for me because I'm the sponsor. My entire life is here, and I'm Canadian, but a situation like this sponsorship thing made me realize my real friends. I lost a good few of them who automatically wrote off my now husband when we first started our relationship because they assumed that since we met online (and hes from India) he's out for a marriage of convenience. It's actually one of the sore points in our relationship... I practically had to beg him to let me sponsor him and he is still determined to find some other way for us to live together because he wants to prove everyone wrong. I don't have a lot of people I can lean on because they haven't been in this situation. He doesn't either, but he is always saying he's not stressed because whatever CIC decides, we're living together by our first anniversary in whichever country that will have us, no matter what.
