Congrats Steen and jacwife, so happy for you guys. As for me I have nothing left, this process has sucked the life from me and I am truly defeated and having a breakdown, who knew something that should be so good would end up making me feel like this... thanks Kingston

Emailed POS last night asking what time line am I looking at to receive the PP since we have a Vacation planned early in FEB to visit the US.
This is their reply I received this morning " we have received your document and it has been attached to your file for final review, no further action is required from the applicants part".
so back to the waiting game # keeping the faith.

Hi all - big congrats to all of those who have received such good news, especially those waiting so long. For all those still waiting for PP to be returned - hang in there - it will be over soon.

By way of update, I requested our notes to see what was written about our approval. Well let's say the notes are NOT comprehensive. Here is a snapshot:

Dec 9 "Review of application and supporting documentation satisfies me to the genuineness of this marital relationship. Supporting documentation includes photos, proof of ongoing telephone communication and copies of Jamaican and Canadian passports to show travel together, to reflect the development and progression of this relationship. First marriage for sponsor, second for PA, neither has children. Divorce Absolute from PA first marriage on file. Copy of Marriage certificate for State of Nevada, USA. clear Jamaican police certificate on file, no evidence of residency outside of Jamaica."

Then it looks a second person reviewed and it says:

Dec 10 "Review of forms; no apparent concerns. Always lived in Jamaica; no overseas declared residence. Clean police certificate. Crim. passed."

We got Decision Made on Dec 15 along with a PPR.

I am not suggesting that there wasn't a detailed review of our application, as I am sure there was (and we did have a lot of photos and a lot of passport stamps showing travel to the US, Jamaica and Europe so looking back, my stress over them saying no was clearly unfounded) but it is amazing to me that once they finally get to your file, they can really push it through quickly if everything is in order.

In terms of settling in, last night I went to bed first and hubby got in the shower. Hearing him singing in the shower while I was lying in my bed at 11pm was the best thing in the World. It really is the little things that you find the greatest pleasure and joy in once they arrive.

Happy Friday everyone ;D ;D ;D

I think so too but sometimes these people make you second guess things because of the wording they use. Just praying everything is all good.

Has anyone ever used tara for sending pp in?? Dhl was just a pick up counter so we had to use Tara and now they are telling hubby it was delivered today. But they have no way of tracking it on the way back. There telling him the high commission will email us when they've sent it out?? So confused.

After DM our pp took 2 days to start coming back to us. Others have taken way longer though. Hope yours is a quick return. Good luck!!

Its impossible for him to find a DHL who can make everything? I would not be comfortable to do not have any tracking number for the way back. But hubby already used Tara to send the new PC and everything went good and fast.
