Hi everyone,

I am so excited for you rainbow...I just know you are going to get news this week! I'm still at work so I haven't made the next move since getting word my wife and I can skip the interview, but I will start the process very soon. Very interested in hearing all the news and interesting tidbits of what happens after landing. I wasn't sure if the PR gave them the ability to travel to and from Canada or not. I take it from KJG's post that they are not. Does it also mean they can't go back and forth to Cuba for a visit??? I also will have to leave my spouse at home when I go away to work and find your anecdotes a great source for forethought. Thankyou KJG.

Good Luck Rainbow......***Thankyou, thankyou,thankyou Sosaga soooooo much****. Grrreat news from Havana today Tuesday December 04th 2012 for Mr. D Rainbow and I. I am soooo excited Voot Voot Whoop Whoop Woo Hoo :-* :-* :-* :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) :p :p :p ;) ;) ;) :) :) :) :p :p :p Sosaga you are right Woo Hoo got the call today... AOR December 04th.

So spoke with hubby. Things are going good and not good lol, but we are in the finall phases and just dealing with lawyers etc.
As much as I want him here like yesterday, I know he will not settle down here unless we have his mom sorted out.
But it looks like he will come next Thursday or Friday. I'll know for sure on Monday after his lawyers appointment. So yeah woo hoo, 1 week to go.
Priced air Canada just to see
Wed 13th $566 taxes inc
Thu 14th$ 243 taxes inc
Cubana on the 15th $202
Air Canada drives me mental!!!!

He landed in October, but he got his visa way before that.. I think August maybe? They had lots of problems with the PRE after that because of military issues. Keeping my fingers crosses anyways!!
