I don't know what that post means MandyUk, but I advise not to rely on hearsay  Remember we're all in the same boat, let's be patient still. Another person in the June thread was approved today (see my spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/qrUqKR), so that means there's still progress with the June guys. Give it a couple of days before we start seeing our own Julians getting approvals LOL! in the meantime, have some chocolate!. |

I made a pdf copy of all that I sent so I can review it to make sure. If they say they have lost it I can send another copy of what I sent.

Great thinking, magpie!! I also kept the "originals" of all the forms in PDF, i saved them using Acrobat, in case some "unexpected" error causes some unlucky IO to misplace my stuff. My only regret would be if they lose the pictures I submitted, there were around 70 of them! I'd hate to have them lost, but anyways, life is life As for chocolate, I haven't had any lately, so corn-on-the-cob will have to do until I get my hands on some Lindt, haha can't afford anything more than that!! |

I guess 70 is a nice small number... I printed out about 50 and on cd gave them a collection of 1150...
about 30 pages from skype in print and 3000 pages on disk... 30 emails in print and 350 to 400 on disk. I think I will keep them busy for a short while. Hope it does not hold up all the other apps... LMAO I made sure that there will be no questions asked. I guess if they work overtime on my file they may request I pay the overtime... LOL

we sent in about 150 photo's taken over the last 13 years together, suprising how many we took of just us two and not with other poeple, but they can see from them how much we have changed together over the years, and if they are gonna question a 12 year old marriage then there isnt much hope lol |

ha! We sent about 500 pictures! And that was a selection from thousands - we've been married for 8 years and have traveled lots! No emails, texts or anything else as we don't keep any of that stuff. I'm probably the one causing the hold up  ) |

I married to my lovely wife only 9 months before mailing our application..and from those 9 months we stayed together for only 4-5 months as I cam back to Canada...So I have submitted around 70 pics of our marriage, ring ceremony, honey moon trip and outing.. Most of our photos are related to our marriage n ring ceremony...how many times you go out in 4 months and how many times from it you take pics... my appli was hardly 900 gms in weight... I see people sending 2-3 Kgs of papers to CIC and creating a back log of applications keeping those officers busy ( No offense intended) |

I guess the more you can send in though the better, as the IO doesnt know you and your relationship, and seen as they are the ones you have to convince, I can understand why people send in as much as they can, ours was quite big as there was loads of other things in there like cards, letters, phone records, fb pages bills mortgage papers ect. We wasnt taking any chances lol.
Our pictures ranged from our first days together to our daughters wedding last year and showing my hubby and myself on the top table and him doing his father of the bride speech, then some taken last xmas.

Nice! The reality of it probably is though that they see a bunch of stuff and may think - these guys are legit. Then the pile is there for them to see it if they have the time, but most likely won't go through them all. So it's not really causing any extra delays I don't think. If anything, unsatisfactory amount of stuff could cause delays. And as "unsatisfactory" means different things to different people, it's better to be safe than sorry.
