@ Basha The only thing you can take when you are pregnant is plain tylenol. That's about it. Otherwise nuff fluids.

@ Jamgirl. Yea, I dont appreciate you being feisty. If you werent so jumpy about your filing then ppl wouldnt have to remind you. You are frighten for 5 months time without an update when some ppl on here say they wait years. It was a perspective that's all. I was trying to be helpful, but I will make sure not to do so again. My comment was not made to offend you, but since you ketch feelings, I have nothing more to say. There is more I would like to say but I will just leave it at that because this forum is fairly friendly.

All, we had quite a few individuals that had thier apps questioned due to 'info' getting to the IO that had to be clarified. As I mentioned they all worked out ok but it was a terrible time for some members. With our app we did not notify anyone where we were in the process and only told close family and friends once we had the visa in hand. Many family and friends do benefit from farrin spouses who help thier spouse with money, phones, clothes etc and fear this will end once the appy leaves the country and go so far as to try and stall. Also, plain good old fashioned envy may play a role. Our family was excellent and very supportive but you never know who will find out, so, this is a time to keep your cards close to your chest and show them only once you get your foil. We agreed that once we got the visa she would stay a couple extra weeks to spend time with family, friends and tie up loose ends before she came.
Also, it is ok to vent a little, that is what we here for

Jamgirl dont worry theyre working on it. I filed my husbands papers a little after you. In process showed up 2 wks ago so I can guarantee that you'll see the same shortly. I can bet your husband arrives before mine's because my husband lived here before going back to Jamaica, so dont worry, your time is coming.

thank you, your post is very encouraging...

It has always been at that back of my mind that the threats that were made to me at the beginning of this process would become my reality so that is why I am (extra?) paranoid. I was just really hoping for an update, anything to tell me that we aren't going to be applicants that wait 18 months. According to our board, most applicants were taking about 7 months to get thru, start to finish which means that with my timeline, I was hoping to hear something, anything... considering I sent my application 6 months ago... I am not an expert at this, never will I claim to be, but in saying that, how can anybody be (unless you work at CHC-Kingston) as everyone's app IS different.

Mrslwsn, I never intended to be rude to you. I may be looking at a situation where my file is receiving interference from an outside source. I have every right to be jumpy about my file. And if I can't come here to vent that, ask questions about that, or simply state my concerns without you jumping on me, then what the hell good is this forum? We are all well aware of the 16 month timeline but I am sure that many if not all applicants that extended close to that or well beyond that were getting "jumpy" about their file way before 16 months.

This process is stressful, at least it is for me. And everyone has their story. Not knowing what is happening and then added stress about threats to my husbands PR make it worse. I have a baby sitting here with a genetic disorder where there is no cure. The university wants my husband here to run tests on the three of us so we know how to manage our baby's condition and try to prevent the side effects brought on by the disorder. The sooner he gets here, the safer my baby can be. Every day counts. That is a part of my story. To say I am stressed is an understatement. The stress ways on my health, which obviously just creates a snowball effect in my life.

I look to this forum for answers, support, and positivity. Repeating the obvious like I am stupid doesn't help and isn't positive. As Canuck stated, we can't always talk to people around us as sometimes the people you think you can trust, simply can't be trusted with this particular issue. I really don't want or need to have badmind between us. It is not in my interest. So hopefully we can move in a more positive way from here.

Thank you

xx

Sorry to hear about your baby jamgirl. Hopefully when you get your first update it says PPR. Just remind your husband to check the post office just in case they mail anything.

Has your process taken this long because of the kids you are sponsoring? I have a frend sponsoring her husband and his kids and I wanna know if its better that he come up first and then sponsor his kids or just do everything at one time and s

Good evening everyone! Well, just poking my head in to say, I waited 2 hours (again, even though I got there early!!) but I got back my PP along with my COPR and some supporting documents we sent in the second package. Only the photographs from our original package were returned. I now believe it, because I hold it in my hands. I am so excited for the next few weeks to pass, I cannot wait to go home to my husband!
