Still it is congratulations. After all that worry and concern, no interview... you're just waiting on the PPR! Amazing news. We will be getting you landing story shortly!
You are right Canadianinlove - no interview. That was my worst nightmare through this entire process.
I spent 6 months gathering, documenting, organizing, and putting together all the supporting documents. You know how much cuss' I get, OK maybe not cuss, but buffup'. As i've mentioned in the past, I did go overboard with the amount of documents - 2500 pages in total (800+Pages of Whatsapp conversations alone [the good{lovie dovie stuff}, the bad{arguements}, and the spicy {I eh explaining that}, chronologic order of events with tabs, each tab seperated by Finance, Letters, Receipts, Itinerary , Phots (hell I even included a plastic wristband from Hawaii resort, toll receipt, if it had anything to do with a trip to see her, it was included).
3 eFin binders! (3 or 4 inches each)
Honestly, the best art work I've ever done in my life.
At the end, I was not settling for a denial, OR interview. lol my thought process to this was, they have two choices...read through everything I sent (all 2500 pages), OR NOT and approve without delay. Well, with 5 months and already positive news, I guess we know which process they took. lol
Anyhow, yes a little celebration. I don't know what will happen once I see that returned waybill light up. My heart will drop! and Panic will settle in - OMG I OFFICIALLY have a wife! ohhh lawd! and she coming! ah go deadddd!

Honestly, It more a sign of relief! Not that she's coming and we are together, but she's no longer on egg shells, she can relax, enjoy life, go places, go to school, work and make decent money. That alone by itself, im sure will be a transition for her, different from what she went through being in the US (no status - for other who don't know).
You know, Im flabbergasted, how and what people must go through without status - more so in the US (not sure how it is for someone in Canada). I mean, I went through this same process, or similar in the 90s growing up in Toronto. But my Fams kept to ourselves, or at the very least, kept a tight circle of friends - no drama, or allowed it to happen. I think its different in the US, Its a lifestyle in the US. I personally know people who are in that same position, but don't do anything to get out of it. They begin to have kids, and hope that the kids will help them out (that 18yrs of waiting...). What annoys me more, is they get married, or live with another person who is in the SAME position as them. I mean do what you have to do to get that papas', don't sit and wait. Sitting and waiting will end up to be 10 years and no movement in life.
OK so this is turning into a rant! Im sorry!
In the US I've seen/heard about the deceit from strangers, friends, and HELL what pizzes me off more is that some of the culprits are Family!. This woman and her family has been through a lot, not her alone, others like them. Im so happy to bring her here, and start a life away from all of that. The best part of it all, is seeing all of the other who mistreated her will be pizzed that she's moved on, will do better, and enjoy life. What brings joy to me, is she will be happy - she won't be in that bs anymore.
