Hey Chickie72,

I agree! It's nice to have someone going through it exactly like me. This is not an easy road and the wait times are long. All I want to know is that I have been approved and that they need no other info so I can put my mind at ease and patiently wait :D. I hope you receive yours very soon so I know mine would follow.

Keep in touch!

Hey Blondie when I first applied, the wait time was 55 days which would have gotten me an answer by the middle of April then the wait times went up and up and up! It gets really depressing sometimes, especially like Fridays when I don't hear anything, then I just go out and dance and get drunk and forget for at least a day hahahaha! The hardest part is not seeing or touching my hubby. I went down to Jamaica April 19th and left April 30th, I was hoping to go back in August but I don't think that I will be able to make it with all these other costs that I have but maybe a miracle will happen. (Going to the bingo this weekend so we will see) :D :D :D :D :D :D

Well I hope soon so you can be with your hubby. We live together at the moment but I am planning on coming to Canada earlier once everything has the go ahead so I will know all about the missing part.
