Stay positive Lily! By the looks of it... Seems like every case is different..

I've started my process in 2010 and I still haven't heard anything :(
But others have been waiting for 5 months and they will be reunited within the next weeks...

Hang in there! I wish the same thing as you... My husband for Xmas :)

Good News

today the ottpilot sent me an email requesting my medical check as i didn't do it from the beginning when i started to fill my application, so they contacted me asking for it.
is there any one know what is the best place to do it in cairo as i know that there are 6 places in Egypt 4 of them in Cairo concerning the web site but do you recommend someone specifically?
i am asking that as i heard that some doctors are not sending yur medical right away to London or they being lazy about it ....so any recommendation will be appreciated
still praying for all of us
Good luck

Wed Nov 9 Alitalia 895 from CAI arrives 05:00am Rome Departs Rome 07:35am (Layover 3h15m) Alitalia 650 fromRome @ 10:50am/arrives in Toronto 02:50pm total flight time: 15h50m price: $586.00


Is it the same exact flight I'm looking at Sheila?

Too funny if they were both on the same flight!

Dominique
Dominique, we decided to fly out Friday the 11th. This day will be much easier for me to get to Toronto to pick him up. It is the same flight time, and he will arrive at 2:50 pm also. It's nice that he won't have such a long layover in Rome and no transit visa required from what I can find. My husband will be going to the Italian embassy in Alex to confirm for sure with them but I don't think he will need it. This was the cheapest flight I could find.

Oh you must be so excited Sheila!!!

I know I am!!!

My husband was originally going to stay in Egypt for Eid, but has decided that we should spend our first Eid together. The ticket's bought and paid for. He arrives Saturday the 29th in Toronto. I have wrangled the weekend off, so we begin our lives together in 3 more sleeps!

I am so excited and yet not! It's like a dream. For all this long time saying "I love you and I miss you, we'll be together soon" and it's finally come around so fast (really remarkably fast if I might say so), that there is part of me that feels I am having some kind of wierd lucid dream!

I've been scurrying around after work each night readying our home for his arrival. I'm driving up to Toronto on Saturday but don't know whether to be on time to meet his flight. As I understand it, it can take a long time to clear customs and immigration.....

Do you have any idea?

The flight arrives at 5:40pm. What time would you be there for?

Hi Mels. My immigration lawyer told us that having the medicals in with the fle would actually help them in making a decision more quickly. I'm reading on here that this is not always the case. I am grateful because my husband's medicals expire in February. He got it done just before we finalized our file. The whole thing went in in March and was received by the processing center in Ottawa on the 19th of May 2011. (that's my mom's birthday, so I took it as a good sign). He did not get contacted for an interview or additional docments. He just got an email on the 12th of October saying to send his passport in for his visa.

Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we go!!

I really hope for all those couples still separated that your files are completed in time for you to spend the holidays together or sooner. I feel somewhat blessed and entirely grateful. I was so depressed and now I am on the brink of a new beginning. We have been married for 19 months and last saw each other just over a year ago. All told though, I can't complain -- from receipt of file to visa issuance was only 5 months. Elhamdulellah and I pray for every single one of you left to have your heart's desire as soon as is possible.

best of luck!!!

Mel, you will probably be asked to do another medical. I know it sucks. Would be nice if they move this part of the process until the end so people don't end up spending money needlessly.

Our medicals expire November 24th, so my husband has to land before or by that date. It's cutting it close for us.
