heyy! any PPR today??? come on damascus have mercy on us :(
and missbou it's a cycle that never ends: u feel positive and full of hope, than u check ur email and find nthg, u r disappointed, than u decide to stop caring about this whole process, than u feel positive again, and start checking ur email again :(
if we really wanted to stop torturing ourselves, we would really forget this whole process and focus on our present life, but we can't :-[
good morning! I agree with you . I m one o those people who like to plan things in advance ; my next vacation , my next book that I'm gonna buy, my next car , my next house etc. that's why this process is so annoying because you cannot plan for your future with yor spouse when you don't even know when your spouse is gonna be with you. so ya.. no ppr today

see you're at 8 months now, in normal circumstances next month you'd be supposed to get your ppr. and when we began this process we thought 9 months was long lol...

nath and nagz i am waiting for that moment when we all, including everyone in this forum says we finally finallyyyyyy have good news!! nagz ur right u can't plan anything except for the exact moment of the present day. living this way is tough but no choice we have to do it !!
i noticed yaya's time ticker is a little over 12months.. im wondering how long was his initial processing time and where is yaya from?

i think yaya is from jordan.

My mp office just called me omggggggg. I felt like I was talking to someone with alzheimer. She was telling me the exact same words she told me last time , she was going over the file. Then I told her I think we already went over this and I gave you his file number to check where we are standing. She said yes I know I was just making sure that there's no improvement since last week. WHAT IMPROVEMENT !!! Then she told me AGAIN the file processing time is 13 months and that I might have to wait till FEBRUARY 2012 !!!!!!! THis is too depressing

ok so obviously this lady doesnt know what the hell shes talking about, i dont even listen to them anymore, all i know is that the time will start going down as soon as they start getting rid of files that are 8 months +
