Thanks everyone!!!

 @ Canuck and other veterans who have already gone through this process. The anxiety level is really high when you're waiting to be re united and it becomes all you can think about day and night. Looking back, what are some things that you would have spent more time preparing/working on while waiting for hubby/wife to arrive.

 @ LHNB - So happy for you!!!

LHNB C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Happy for you!

LHNB, the important thing is always remember that each application is different and will be assessed differently by the IO. We all have watched as some cruise through in record time and others seemed to have stalled. As the VO has no communication with you and any attempts to gain a glimpse into your status usually go un answered you will become frustrated with the whole process. Those active in thier day to day lives seem to fair a little better. Not saying it's easy for anyone, just having something to take your mind off it for even a little while is healthier. This can be work, hobbies, volunteer work etc, whatever you enjoy doing. It is not only you, but in my case (in many others as well), understanding that my spouse has put her life on hold waiting for the "call". Personally I always booked my next flight soon after I would get home as it helped countdown the days until we could be together again, some found that hard to do. Always keep positive even on the down days and help keep your spouse from losing patience as well. Expect some dis-agreements with each other, some get impatient where a spouse appears to have a lack of comittment into the process. Remember that God will only what they can handle, that lack of response maybe your spouse is overwhelmed at that moment and needs a little space, this is normal so help one another through the slow times. Both spouses will have to deal with thier family and friends doubts and may feel that pressure from time to time, this will evolve into making you both stronger and more comitted to your relationship. Once you're with your spouse and you are discussing the process you will be amazed what they have had to go through as well just to be with you. So in my humble opinion, find something you amuse yourselves while you wait, don't fret the little stuff that you cannot control.

canuck...u rock!

Thanks suki, just jumping in to help a bit. So Charlie, tomorrow is your 1 year anniversary for your application and I was truly hoping to send you a greeting in CA this year but I'll send this to you in JA. Next year, hubby will have wine and roses for you, and remember this tale if your wearing red on VD.

Charlie is skipping down the road
when she sees the Big Bad Wolf crouched down behind a log.

"My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf," says Charlie
The surprised wolf jumps up and runs away.

Further down the road Charlie sees the wolf again;
this time he is crouched behind a tree stump.

"My, what big ears you have Mr. Wolf," says Charlie.

Again the foiled wolf jumps up and runs away.
About 2 miles down the road, Charlie sees the wolf again, this time crouched down behind a road sign.

"My, what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf," taunts Charlie.

With that the Big Bad Wolf jumps up and screams,
"Will you get lost? I'm trying to take a dump!"

Hope everyones day was peaceful..this time next yr we all cuddle up with our significant other!

[Jamgirl]

I was just wondering...  are most people's PPRs coming as a phone call to applicant or as an e-mail to applicant or sponsor?

[tintin79]
