Ms.Proper and Lilmaya...you are both so right! My hubby and I actually did our application together and we did not want to bombared them with too much things for them to maybe think our relationship was not real....I guess it is really a mind thing....You hear of the horror stories of couples being denied and having to redo the whole process and that for me would be horrific after waiting so long.

Anyways positive thoughts is what I am trying to transmit...so let be start transmitting...lol

Ladyposh: Dont worry about it i think, we only sent in a total of 50 pics, not labeled and only one detailed letter of our relationship. I think as long as the details are clear then really there shouldn't be an issue. Dont think about it too much it can literally drive you insane. Im pretty sure you'll hear something shortly. Has your e-cas being updated to package rec'd a certain date and they started process application?

My status still says in process, application rec'd July 27/10 and they started processing the application on January 28/11.

At first when i saw this status i was like you must be joking, as if the application was just sitting there for 6 months, but early march i rec'd the letter to pay the PRF and i did and then April 5 we rec'd the phone call to drop off the passport.

So i think it will be a domino effect once you hear from Kingston. I know its really hard to be patient i had some rough days a tell yah.

Yaadgirl....phew...you made me feel a little better.....They received our app Sept. 3, 2010 and we got AOR end of Nov. dated Noc. 10th and it stated the process is 6 mths....I went ahead the begin of Jan and paid the RFPF and we still have notheard anything....Our status has only being update to "application received Sept.3, 2010 and few times we say "Meds received but that was from the system glitch".
I am praying that something will come soon. When you dont hear anything you start to get a bit paranoid.

I think you guys had an interview what kind of questions did they ask you hubby abd did they take his PP at the same time? And did they request original docs then too?

I have friends who just recently had a baby who were one month behind us in paperwork and I think there Visa was rushed forward. She had sent Ultrasound photos and Doctor's notes by fax and email. She sent the birth certificate and he got his Visa last week and is coming to Canada on Monday. So yes it helps to send prenatal documentation.

Can you tell me if when our spouse comes how long is the Visa for? Our friend's Visa is stamped good for 3 months? Is that unusual because I thought PR was for 3 years.

Thanks everyone! 8)

Ladyposh: Im keeping my fingers crossed if he gets his passport back within the next two weeks he will be here for April 23rd our exact 1 year anniversary.

We were told by a few peoples to wait a bit like up to a year after we got married to send in the application, and i was like ummm that absolute rubbish. We got married in April he did he medical in may and we sent in the paper work in June.

JARUBY: How's it going lady. The visa that they issue is only temporary until, the person gets here. My husband was told that when he receives his visa it will expire on May 26/11. The PR will be received in the mail shortly after his arrival.

JAEUBY: the visa will expire on the day the meds expire unless the pp expires first, but that date of expiry on the visa is the date they have to leave jamaica by, once they come to canada that visa is no longer valid regardless of its expiry date as it only a one entry in. you will receive your PR at the airport and the card in the mail couple months after. my husband did his meds in feb so they told him his visa will expire feb, 2012.

Welcome to the newbie, and a plesant good morning to everyone!!!!
I know i have been slacking down on my prayers lately but excuse is is never a good back, to God be the glory we have some Godly woman and man in this place they keep the lamb burning.
LILMAYA: you had a very good devotion this morning, I am touched by that story, now i have to go to speelsman to go find that book.
LADYPOSH: maybe I wont be the best example since my case took longer than 13 months, but when i sent in my apps, I had nothing in it that other ppl sent, I used the check off thats included in the app and thats it, i sent a few pic that we took when we went to the DR, all my wedding pic got destroyed in JA by water after I came here and the only ones I have was like 3 that was used and abused by my kids since they were not at the wedding(lol) they were not born yet, I manage to copy them and send. I didnt write no letter or anything, what ever space was provided thats what i used, to tell you the truth, I didnt know they would question our marriage not even for a second, since we married and had the twins long before my canadian dream came into existence. 15YRS
CAN: I think once the meds received is on and it stayed it means there is only one or two of they only two steps left to take, and that is an interview will be requested if needed or call for a pp, or both as in my case, yea!!, BUT AS FAR AS KG IS CONSERN NO ONE CAN PUT A TIME ONTHEM, THEIR TIME IS NOT OUR TIME AND ONLY THEM KNOW THERE TIME, SO SAD THOUGH.
BBB: i am not sure how to address your question, but I would give the cic a call and ask then, thats what I usually do when i need a clarification on something, because sometimes a new piece of info can be a set back or a bring forward,
Ramdont: I really misss you, please say something. We know how you must feel but God is not asleep girl and he is working it out for you.

DEAR JESUS,
THANK YOU THAT WE HAVE LIVED TO SEE TODAY, MANY OF US BECAUSE OF THE ANXIETY OF WAITNG THOUGHT WE WOULDNT MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT, BUT GOD WE ARE HERE YOU WOKE US UP AND YOU WOKE US UP ON TIME, YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO IT BUT YOU DID. WE THAT THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US SO FAR AND WE KNOW THAT GREATER IS ON BEFORE US, THE DARKEST PART OF THE NIGHT IS ALWAYS NEXT TO DAYLIGHT, AND GOD WE ASK THAT WHILE WE CANNOT SEE YOU WILL GUIDE US SAFTLY TO THE END. BLESS US OH GOD, BLESS OUR WOMBS, OUR SEED FROM THIS GENERATION TO THE GENERATIONS TO COME, REMOVE EVERY FAMILY CURSE FROM OUR LIVES, EVERY THING WE REAP THAT WE HAD NOT SOWN, KILL IT GOD IF IT IS NOT OF YOU, AND PLANT NEW SEEDS OF VICTORY IN OUR LIVES. GRANT US LONG SUFFERING, PATIENCE, AND MORE THAN ANYTHING BROADEN OUR SHOULDER SO THAT WE CAN LEND A SHOULDER TO A FRIEND IN NEED, GOD YOU HAVE BIND THIS FAMILY SO CLOSE A FAMILY WHO HAVE NOT EVEN MET IN PERSON BUTHAVE MET HERE AND WE BECAME SUCH A TIGHLY KNIT FAMILY HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOU BIND OUR HEART WITH OUR HUSBANDS AND OUR WIFES AND CHILDREN, HELP THE WOMEN TO BE GOOD WIVES AND MOTHER, AND TEACH US HOW TO TAKE CARE AND LOVE, RESPECT AND CHERISH OUR HUSBANDS, TEACH THE MEN HOW BE FAITHFUL HUSBANDS, AND HOW TO LOVE THEIR WIVES, TEACH THEM HOW NOT BE AN INFIDEL, BUT HOW TO WORK SO THEY CAN PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES, GOD PLACE YOUR LOVE IN OUR HEARTS. AND GIVE A HEART OF COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING.
GOD YOU KNOW EACH AND EVERYONE OF US ON THIS FORUM, AND ON THE KINGSTON FORUM INDIVIDUALLY, BLESS US all INDIVIDUALLY, AND HEAR AND ANSWER OUR PRAYERS SO EVEN WE TOO CAN HAVE TESTIMONIES HOW WHEN WE WERE LONELY AND PRAYED YOU ANSWERED AND BLESS US WITH THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS.
BLESS LITTLE TIANA AND HELP HER TO GROW IN THE FEAR AND ADMONITION OF YOU, BLESS HER PARENTS, HELP HER TO ALWAYS BE THE HEAD AND NEVER THE TALE LET HER ALWAYS bE THE LEADER AND NEVER THE FOLLOWER, LET HER BE THE LIGHT THAT STANDS OUT WHERE EVER SHE IS AND IN WHAT EVER SHE DOES, THAT SHE WILL GROW TO KNOW THAT SHE IS A PRODUCT OF PROMISE AND WAS NEVER HERE BY MISTAKE. TOUCH HER ENTIRE BODY AND PUT A BRIDGE OF PROTECTION AROUND HER THAT NO WEAPON THAT SHOULD BE FORMED AGAINST HER WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO LIGHT MUCH MORE PROSPER. BLESS HER GOING OUT AND HER COMING IN.
JESUS WE SAY THANKS AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING OR ANYONE WE FORGET TO MENTION OR ASK FAIL NOT TO GRANT IT TO US. IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY. AMEN, AND AMEN!!!

AMEN and AMEN!

yaadgirl : That is really inspiring for real. Once they finally got the ball rolling on your application it just rolled straight through!! ;D That's the kind of news we need to hear! I think for most of us we just need to hear SOMETHING is happening no matter how trivial it may seem at the time... progress is progress!

waiting-for-a-star: It was a very interesting book. Because the child was so young and you know the wild imaginations that children have I wasn't sure what to expect. Also prior to reading the book i didn't realize the father was a pastor which made it very neat because he new the bible from front to back and was so amazed at the accuracy of how what his son saw, matched up with scripture.... from the throne of God, to the clothes that were worn by everyone to Jesus to the angels.

As far as the applications, I think we all did the best we could with what we knew at the time, and I believe it is enough! I think Waiting is a prime example even though her wait was long, her husband is coming home this week so regardless of what was there or what was missing.. the outcome is the same.

Wow Waiting...you have really calmed my thoughts down now with your story. I feel alot better to know that maybe I just over thinking this whole thing because I was so sure when I sent in the application it had everything but that is the power of the mind.....overthinking things!!!lol

As far as your baby question...maybe GOD should just bless you with another set of twins...one boy and girl...that should hold you for another few years!!!!!

It kinda scares me to think they could think your trying to hard. I don't really think that they could think that in our case...but you never know. They don't know me. I have a hard time condensing my replies...so I spent alot of time writing the essays, and explaining our reasons in depth. Either the IO will appreciate it, or he will call us in for an interview. I guess whatever will be, will be. At least we are fairly happy in Jamaica so if this does take a few extra months due to an interview, we certianly wouldn't die. I would just love to see it go through in a year. Less if possible but at least by a year. I generally have bad luck with these things though, so I guess if it does take forever, again at least we are happy and together in Jamaica.

I asked a question in the other Jamaica forum but nobody has answered yet.

If you make tiny mistakes like checking the wrong box but neatly correct it by putting a tiny x over it and checking the other box...and I made a tiny mistake in the siblings section....I had one extra space below the one I made the mistake on...and it was just her address. So I crossed it out neatly and wrote it below with a tiny arrow upwards. Can they dock me for this? My application is extremly neat....so it hardly stands out and still looks neat. And the correct answer is clear. Opinons?
