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
