Have a great Thursday everyone....we are having our annual company BBQ at work today, looking forward to eating to much! Potluck is so much fun!

Thanks for cheerleading everyone @chickie72. You are a great inspiration of how to think right, even if our emotions want us to feel wrong. Blessings to you for keeping the faith.
 
Hey everyone its being a while now since my last post just saying hi to everyone, like most of us i still haven,t heard a word but still keeping the faith.

Its stated in all things we should give thanks, good things happen give things, things not working give thanks, the more praises go up the more blessings comes down. Maybe the lord is using the time to the for us know that when we are near to each other we should be thankful and not let little things get in our way, we know the meaning of being away from each other so when we are near don't spoil it and when we are far give thanks as long as there is life there is HOPE.

Spouses' Prayer for Each Other

Lord Jesus,
Grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust.

Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony.

May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths.

Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other.

Let our love grow to perfection. In Jesus name.

Amen.

Thank you so much for this prayer. It is needed and appreciated. May the Kingston & Port of Spain VOs please bless the 2012 applicants especially, with communications returned, PPRs issued, interviews waived and passed and passports returned quickly with COPRs. We claim it!

Nevaeha.......peek a boo......where are you? ? ? ?
 
Thanks for ur answer chickie. I know someone who just redo without file number so she is now worried what will happen.

Also carm_cnd i emailed kingston from sunday and all now they haven't responded to any of emails so i am thinking they just read and answer what they want.
 
here is a question, your supposed to report whatever changes with you birth of a child,visa to another country or if you have traveled since applied; yet when you do again you hear this might make your process take longer,SIGH, how do you win in this process?

if you get a travel visa to another country are you to report the visa by email or send a copy of the actual visa to the embassy?

Chickie it seem all of us first half of 2012 applied at the wrong time? wonder if we all went to the same immigration officer :( sure wish one of us would hear something!! my husband went into the embassy in Kingston to submit some more paperwork and the lady at the desk said his application is there with all documents attached and thats it (sigh)

No that was from last month. I send a email and usually 3 weeks later I get one back so I get a email once a month in the last 3 months nothing has changed.

I think that would only apply for the principal applicant not for the spouse. We as spouses do send down any information on our trips to JA to show that our relationship is real but I don't think as a sponsor we have to show if we go to a different country. Also that might be for visa-exempt countries which JA is not.
 
yeah i have heard that they won't tell you anything if you just walk in to the office either. It is sad really that we can't get updates and ECAS is never consistent.
