Hey Sal, already responded to you in the other thread but just wanted you to know that i'm thinking of you and still counting on that clean bill of health next week! The added stress can not be easy for you but stay positive... you're almost there!

Russell tells me that my 'boston' only comes out when i'm talking loudly or speaking to the kids. When I travel, people often think i'm from NY which is just an awful thing to say to a Bostonian! laughing.gif

Suzie, where are you from in MA? I'm in Leominster...all my life. smile.gif How exciting that you're almost done with this part of the journey!

Nicole... WOW, that came fast! Have a wonderful wedding!

Sally, i'm quite sure you'll be cashing in on Friday! We'll be thinking of you.

8 weeks today that we sent our petition off. You guys all just teased us with your 4 week approvals! laughing.gif It's a good thing i'm a glass half full kinda gal but my patience is wearing thin!

Gaye...CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Oh my goodness, Nicole! How frustrating! Wouldn't it be nice if at least ONE person/organization could get something right!? Good luck at the DMV! laughing.gif

Regarding friends.... Since Russell has already lived here for over a year, most of the people around me already know him pretty well. He does get the silly questions like "do your toilets flush the opposite way"...etc. Most people are quite curious, and usually shocked, about the process and ask a lot of questions.

Sal... i'll be thinking of you and wishing you well on Friday. I'm sure it's just routine but jeeeesh another stress is not what you need! Keep us posted!

Happy Bday and good luck next saturday Nicole.

Gaye, i'm sure it's fine and that you will have your visas in hand very soon. Think positive. I wish they would remember that they are dealing with real human beings with real emotions here and not just pieces of paper. mad.gif

No need to apologize for venting.... you've been here lifting everyone else up for so long it's about time we can return the favor.

I too am curious about Sally....

laughing.gif You can still complain!

I've had flights for just over $1,000 too (priceline - name your own - is my best friend for most trips/hotels) but it's the time of year that gets ya! We flew at the end of January this time and the trip was a gift from my mom so she just booked it through an agent. Although, I found nothing better online when I looked.

Ohhhh, to just cross the border in a car to see him..... *sigh* Oh well, at least we'll have glorious vacations!!! laughing.gif

Kim & Russ - the flight is long! But isn't it even further for you since you've got to go from MA?? I just hate that you lose two days on the way there..


Yes. sad.gif I've flown many times to both AUS and NZ to see him. But I think the last flight over was probably the worse... $2,600 r/t... 6 hours from BOS to LAX... 8 hour layover... 13 hours from LAX to AUK and then a 4 hour drive to his place on the bay of plenty! wacko.gif How I envy the Canadian couples! laughing.gif

Big congratulations to those of you united again! It's been a pleasure watching you folks go through the process!


Unfortunately no; need to save vacation time as well as money for when he's here and for the wedding. We've done six months apart before though so I'm hoping time goes by just as fast.

Excited to see that you're file is being touched!! I hope that you don't have to wait too much longer! smile.gif


I hope the time flies for you! That is such a long flight, isn't it? blink.gif

Thanks so much. Seems VSC is working at a snails pace these days. sad.gif Hope it's just us here at VJ and that they're really cranking out the approvals! A girl can dream, can't she? laughing.gif

wow, it sounds like they're trying to make all the money they can out of this, eh? I would involve a lawyer and make sure he is good at what he does so they can't just keep doing this to people. On a good note, at least you have what they're asking for. wink.gif I'd probaby contact my representative as well. good luck joe! btw... at least she answered honestly! tongue.gif

It's so good to see you January filers moving on to better places! I wish we knew why some people are left so far behind. Difference in adjuticating practices perhaps? Either way, I know it's just around the corner for you folks and I do hope that fact is getting you through it. smile.gif

Dawn... it's easier for people to deal with anger than it is for them to be sad. They need someone to blame is all...to be angry with. It's THEIR problem. You should not feel badly about being approved sooner than anyone else. Most of the people are not like this. Be happy...celebrate the fact that you will be with Darren soon and dont let anybody take an ounce of that away from you! smile.gif

Waiting... maybe put that energy into something positive like contacing your representative or writing productive letters that may actually have an effect rather than verbally bashing people you dont even know because they are happy for all the same reasons you would be if you were given the opportunity to file with VSC. I understand how hard the process is for everyone but it's absolute lunacy for you to take it out on these nice people whom you dont even know.

Good luck Kommie... Sally, i'm sure it's coming very soon! smile.gif

I'm sorry about the police certificate. I know he wasn't planning on coming straight away anyway but it's still very frustrating that nobody seems to know/do their job anymore!

Hope he's here soon!

Dawn... big hugs! One of the most important things i've learned in my years is that worrying wont get the bills paid! wink.gif I know it's stressful to think about all that is to come but you have to believe it will all work out! This is a wonderful time for you both. I really hope you enjoy it! smile.gif btw... there is someone with the same interview date as Darren who posted in the General Discussion forum.

Gaye... LOVE yoga! Does the soul good, doesn't it? It's great your father is ok with your immigration.

So many of you are almost through this part of the process! That's great! I'm very happy for you all. smile.gif

It's difficult to think of a reason why some from even early January are still waiting while others are approved in less than a month. That's just not right! I hope you folks get your approvals SOON!

Less than a week for us now!

I'm sure everyone on here knows the "dreadful" walk pretty well.. You know the one from the airport to the car after you've made a fool of yourself saying "I love you" about 100 times, having a teary-eyed face, and waving over and over again as you watch your SO go through the security gate where you can no longer go.. Yeah that dreadful walk..

Well I survived. I'm back home, unfortunately....

I hope everyone is having a good day. Atleast the weather is nice...


Yup, know it well. sad.gif

Gay, i'm sorry you're scared. sad.gif I'm not sure what it's like where you're going but most places around here where I live are very diverse. I don't personally see a lot of racism and perhaps i'm naive but it's not tolerated anywhere I've been.
