Hi Avissa and everyone else. I'm really happy I found this forum, much better when you have someone to share your thoughts and worries with. Nobody understands how terrible this process is unless they've gone through it.
I see people are very nice and helpful
Regarding my police clearances, I prefer to wait for them, just 10 more days doesn't hurt. I wouldn't want them to send my application back. I've read horror stories from people here, I guess that's why I became a little paranoid.
@ Hungary, yes my husband is with me and we're looking forward to the move. But not to have a wedding, we had ours in 2009 and all our family was here too. It's just that we both lost interest in our life here, we lost interest in our jobs and for every decision that we have to make now, we need to consider that we won't be here for long. For example, we can't renew our gym membership, our phone contracts, we stopped buying things for around the house. Our microwave just broke, so instead of buying a brand new one, we got a second hand one. Because let's face it, we won't be able to bring anything with us to Canada.
We'll have to sell most of the stuff we own, and that's another thing that worries me.
@ Avissa, we live in Frankfurt, we're not too far from Cologne
We actually spent our honeymoon in Cologne. I can understand your situation as well. My German is not so good either (I use English in my job and I don't get to speak German much because we don't have any German friends).
There is also: www.toytowngermany.com - here you can find English speaking people from your town. Lots of members on that forum get together to meet each other for coffee, they even have a book club!
May I ask where do you come from? Do you speak Romanian?
