Lol...I know what you mean. I was cursing as I was going through all the pictures and wondering why I needed to send so many. We had a pretty big Indian Wedding so what I did with our pictures was show all the rituals and events that I had personally and then all the rituals and events that my husband had. Then I had the wedding and the reception which showed all of our friends and family members and ultimately our honeymoon and our time afterward. I didn't aim for 500 pictures, it just ended up that way. I know that my cousin who sponsored her husband last year was asked for more pictures from "his" side as more proof was required that it was a genuine marriage. She had originally sent about 300 or so pictures. But I don't think its the quantity but what the pictures show. I was lucky in that there are so many rituals that we go through, that I was able to give importance to each one to support the genuineness of our marriage.Bangkokcanuck said:
I hear ya, and as I have been going through our photos the last two days I can see how fast they add up. I am at 140 now and I have not got through 2009 and yet. We were married back in 2007 so lots of pics from the wedding and honeymoon and of course being a Thai wedding lots of rituals there as well. Then trips to Hong Kong, Canada and two to Australia, lord the pics start adding up in a hurry. I am always teasing my wife that she seems to have the camera glued to her hands but now she is teasing me right back saying see, good thing I glued it there hahaha.. very very true...bythebook said:
I don't think anything is wrong. There are so many variable in this and it is very difficult to predict anything. I called CIC yesterday on a matter concerning my husband's medical and I just asked out of the blue for my client number and she actually gave it to me. Maybe try calling them and asking what your client ID is. This number if provided allows you to access E-CAS more easily than using other forms of identification.psionator said:nothing yet.. could something be wrong?

CIC received our package (3.5kg!) on April 28th so now it's a waiting game. I'm from Russia and my husband is a Canadian, sponsoring me from outside Canada.
