I agree Desi! I hope the strike will end soon because it make us wait longer! And we gotta wait longer for the stage 2... Well, all we have to do now is wait and wait and wait
 
Hi everyone is good to see how every one is getting good news on their applications :D.

My keyboard is not working, so I can be posting as I usually do, but keep reading whats going on.

In Mexico City VO time is 14 months now (thanks to the strike >:() but I hope everything gets to normal and go faster with the process, I miss my husband so much :-[.

It's really hard this waiting, but what else we can do. By the end of this I would be a patient person which right now I'm not hahaha.

I want to share I check my status yesterday and it said medicals received, so that another step forward.
 
Hi gamyover,
First of all, congrats of being one more step closer to your husband. :D
But when you say that you checked your status, is it the application # you are using or the UCI?
And does it show medical's received under both the application # and UCI?

Just curious because my husband was also saying that they might just change the status for passport requested on ECAS and not email us. So I wanted to know if we should now just check application # or UCI # just in case.
Anyone else have any idea on that?

Oh101, if you are reading this, how did you get AoR from the visa office? Through email or status update on ECAS? Are we supposed to get AoR from the visa office or do they just change the status to medicals received and/ or passport requested?
 
Congratulations to those who got their SA this week. I can now yell out "All Aboard!!" ,since everyone has made it to stage 1, this Chill Spot Train is now headed for stage 2, lets go!!!

The Spreadsheet has been updated!!
 
Yipppiieee! Congrats everyone! We are all now at stage 2, the longest waiting time.. Hehe..

Congrats!!

I'm so anxious. I hope I get mine today too!! Im the last!!
 
It has been so nice going through these past few weeks with all of you. There is so much positivity and encouragement here and it's great to be a part of it. I think having our own cheerleader team makes all of this just a little bit easier. Now that our apps have dispersed all over the world, there is really no telling what is going to happen for any of us or how long it's going to take. I'm hoping that we all have a quick, smooth process and that we are reunited with our loved ones sooner rather than later. I desperately miss my husband. You know how I feel. I know how you feel. Those of us that have experienced this process have a unique kinship and I value the support system we offer each other.
We all know that some days are better than others. Today is not so good for me. I'm so frustrated not only with the strike but, the fact that family reunification is hardly mentioned anywhere even though I feel it's the most important. I wish there was something we could do to resolve it besides signing a petition but, I don't know where to start. I could write my MP (which is Stephen Harper, of all people) but, most everyone that has been doing that have received a form letter in reply. This strike needs to end so they can just get back to work processing our applications. I really try not to complain but, sometimes it's really overwhelming. Sigh...
I haven't seen my husband since April 5, a week and a half after our wedding. I've booked a trip to go see him in November. 72 days and 2 hours until I can kiss his beautiful face! I. Can't. Wait!!
Hope you all have a beautiful day.
