I'm terribly sorry to hear that....but I don't agree. However, I do feel your pain. But please just note that in north america we take soooo much for granted.
YOU....have visa exempt.
I suggest one of you quit your job, pack up your stuff and get it "ready".....If you can't store it, get rid of it...sell it or junk it. (not sure which one of you are sponsor)
Then principal applicant uses the money from that to get plane ticket and come to Canada....they can't work, but they can stay for 6 months.....If you both can't afford that, then move, downgrade, do whatever has to happen....BUT, do this to save your marriage.
THIS is the love that North America seems to be loosing touch with.
Stuff is only stuff....Love is priceless.
I'm not the worst off by any means, but I'm 35, wife is 30, she left her job in Dubai and now waits in the Philippines for the process to end....I can barely afford my house....and certainly cannot afford plane ticket to Phil...and if I could, I barely have holidays at work.
She left everything she has, and I support her while we wait....
BUT, she can't come here at will.....and she is worth every second of waiting. Also, I'd do anything if the process lasted that long...I'd sell my house, I'd live in Bachelor pad, or rooming house if necessary....anything to be together in the end.
The point is, this process is rough, and you have waited very very long.....BUT, just count your blessings, and do what has to be done to end up together for the rest of your lives.....in the overall scheme of things, 16 months is peanuts compared to years together as a family.
This is the part that's really gonna hurt....
If either of you can't keep going, it means it isn't worth the effort....which means it isn't deep love.
I'm sorry, but I tell it how it is.
I'm hoping you can read this and try to save your marriage...realize how blessed you both are....and just be together
Take care!
