I'm sorry Zadel - but you won't meet the requirements of Conjugal if you don't have a barrier to marriage. If one of you can travel to the Philippines and marry there I don't see what's stopping you - that's what every one of us here had to do, who are able to get married. I don't know if you could schedule a wedding right away and inform the visa office.. I might try that. They could put the decision on hold.

Also, I heard that if you're denied, your second application will be faster because it will go straight to the Supervisor.
Hi steph no probs thanks for all the infos goodluck and hope everything goes well for everyone :)

It's so tough to live in Paradise! Great perk of the west coast is cheap flights to Asia. But I can't beat the price of Gort's first class flight to Toronto.. darn it!

Apparently his wife couldn't get her baggage checked fast enough so he divorced her.
