oh mann :( im so proud of u that ur holding on till this day.. i dont know why everyone has to go through so much to live together with your spouse.. :(

what do you mean tamil lady? :S are u serious? was there a translator and she was tamil or the officer lady is tamil? also, how long is the interview? is it very short.. we are preparing really hard.. as long as he doesnt get nervous.. hope things go well.. but can they reject if its just a registration? thats the thing thats bothering me so much :(
the officer who interview my hubby was a tamil lady but he had his interview in english..he was to have his interview 9am but she made him wait till close to 11am then it took around i think more then 1 hr not sure..we also had just the registration only but i had the thali as well ..i don't know if they reject you on that base but i have seen some case were rejected because they didnt have the thali cermony and had just the registration so i dont know dear but i will send this link you read it ..this is all from srilanka the people who got rejected and then appeal

luci one more question..

did they pass the interview? what did they say for medicals? how long is the process after the interview :)
thanks everyone for being so supportive
they said i passed the interview but my medical had some issue and i was asked to do further test 2 months before the interview and that report was pending at the time of interview now the medical is fine but it was sent from Dr.cader office to singapore instead of manila so they are trying to trace my medical report before i can get visa

Hiya,

No I haven't been there for ages n yesss, you are absolutely right it's no point of going there to be honest :( I dropped them couple of mails too but they r in vain. I m so disappointed n wish I knew the damn reason for the delay ;( We even contacted the MP but he advices that we got to wait until the officer goes through my file. Never know when they will call me for re medical or interview. I feel like committing suicide sometimes ;( but still..., I have a little hope that my turn is coming closer ;( they are retarding with the precious lives of genuine couples ;( Not fair at any rate...

daisy and frust my dear friendss...i know the feeling cause last year this time i was cring and was so stressed out over this process ..but when i found out on nov 15 2011 on the day of the interview they rejected the visa..you can imagine how i would've felt that second when my husband came out and told me that he got rejected even though he have answered to all her question and everything what he said was true but she didnt even give a shit to even look at the pictures and more proof of contacts and even he told her that my wife is waiting out side she didnt even give a shit to interview me...even though i was destroyed for a second or two thinking what am i going to do? but my husband told me so many loving words to calm me down and he said no matter what happens he is with me...that second i said to myself i am going to fight this cause we love each other and we are real couple..and look oct 02 will be my second anniversary and still fighting to be together..our love story all started 2008 and still we are apart..yea daisy i hope some one can change this system so real couples don't be apart 4 long..

p.s to daisy and frust since both u meantion about suicide i want to share that i have attempt suicide in 2006 by jumping a 6th floor balcony. but i survived that jump and still here that was not my time to end my life..but up till today i suffer from that jump...and hoped that i never did what i did..so both of you dont use the word ''suicide'' you have no idea what i have been through for 2yrs..it is just matter of time guys just hang in there u will be reunited with ur loved ones soon i have you guys in my prayer...god bless all of u..

Hi guys,
How is everyone? I finished reading all the posts. I visited my husband in SL and im back here now. still no updates. im so impatient, we applied for a visitor visa, coz our first anniversary is in 2 weeks. we still have not heard about the visitor visa still...i dont have much hope in it coz my husband has been refused visitor visa three times before.
we visited the embassy and we got the same old reply...this time, i went in as the applicant and got a taste of the same reply my husband has been getting for the past 8 months
Daisy, good luck on ur husband's interview...dont panic, i wish u all the best that ur husband's interview will b successful as luci's huband's.
remember, u and i had the same file transfer date...so it gives me hope that they are processing...this year's forum has been so slow so far in getting visas, this time last year, there were lots of visas issued.
@Rathika, i admire ur patience and determination...see, love doesnt come that easy...we who go thru all this will value our love and our spouses more

also i got my caips notes...i dont see much in it...do any of u have any experience in interpreting it...its 30 pages long!
