Heyyy spicymum So right re: the strain on relationships. Can't even imagine going through this not living with my sponsor/spouse.

Yayyyy PDB1.

Hi Dair. Hi ddobro2, theachrissy, ferrer29 ...Congrats sthomas and BritishBulldog.
I have been following conversations here (sorrta') but just not commenting. Just exhausted with this process, I cant bring myself to comment.

I just wanted to say to Dair - Hang in there, dear. As U can probably tell from some of the responses to Ur somewhat-surprising post, U guys are not the only ones having your relationship strained by this process. Infact, I believe it is sorta to be expected - the strain, ie. I guess what matters is that we are able to manage the stress in our different ways and pull through with smiles in the end.

I can say this for myself, if I knew that we would be put through this gruelling process, I would DEFINITELY have made some decisions differently. This too shall pass, though.

Congrats to pdb1!! Best wishes on the rest of your journey.

Hi Spicymum... I understand your reading not posting feeling... I was doing that for a bit too. Thanks for your encouragement. I suppose I am so used to protecting myself emotionally that this situation is forcing me into uncharted territory. I have no choice but to share everything emotionally because what else have we got? There is no touching, there is no late nights in bed talking, no walks in the park together, no dinners together, no movies together, no greeting each other at the end of a long day.... it just breaks my heart. And I am completely aware that I am not the only one that feels this way. I hate to say it is a comfort because I would not wish this on anyone and yet so many of us are right there in it.

I cannot imagine the thoughts of people who have longer processing times than Rabat...although from what I am reading lately there is no guarantees of anything, anywhere.

Ah well... I will use another mantra that I say frequently... suck it up butter cup. Life does not stop for any of us.... and someday I will just have another pairs of hands to help... in the meantime I am off to look for a second job... so if anyone knows of anything in London or close area that I can work just weekends... let me know... LOL

My passport request came this morning! I'm so excited.

This process has been so incredibly stressful. It's bad enough going through it when I have been with my partner all along. I can't imagine how hard it is for those of your who are apart.

Hello everyone.. Spicymum just wanted to wish you and hubby all the best for the interview tomorrow. I’m sure everything will go well and sooner than you know he will be on his way to you...

As for me I have not heard anything yet from my VO other than just the ‘Medicals Received’ on ecas two weeks ago - was kinda hoping it would come with a side order of ‘in process’ or something more to write home about.... I celebrated our 1st Anniversary alone last weeked (1st October) which must be very common on this forum... :'( :'(

Any way new week, new possibilities. all the best to you all this week.
