Hi Everyone,

It's been a while but I guess I was just a little depressed and frustrated and because of that I didn't come online. I was just frustrated. But I come with good news. My husband is arriving tomorrow. He finally got his passport back today. We logged in on Friday and saw decision made and the address change. Then the DHL site updated on Tuesday, my husband got his passport in his hand today on Wednesday. The passport has a stamp date of June 17. So I'm happy that my process is over. I will have my landing story available tomorrow or give me a extra day or two. So i'm gonna go back many pages and read all you guys updates and any new members that have joined.

I want to thank all of you that put forth those encouraging words that helped me get through this process. This message board has truly been helpful in getting through this whole ordeal and also I've become very educated on this immigration matter that I've offered my advice to others.

Hello family! Just dropping in and trying to catch up. Been to Jamaica and back, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Maddants treats me well! I didn't want to come home, but ...
Congrads to Sammy, also to all of you who have heard something from Kingston.
I noticed there is a lot of sadness in some of the posts, but there is some happiness that is behind the scenes that happen too. I just want to tell you to keep your head held high! Family and friends can be hard on you and will always ask when is hubby or wife coming home. I have been hearing this for a long time especially when we have been married for 1 year and it will be 2 years this October...and still no husband to come home to me. Then there is the odd family member that believes your spouse only wants to just get into the country. I believe we all have that kind of person in our families. I have a aunt who thinks this way. I chose to avoid her when I can, she will see in the end the love me and Maddants have for each other. But when I do see my aunt or others who ask, I just smile and I just say, "I am patiently waiting, and I can always go and see him!"
Like all of you I have had my down times with this whole process and down times with life in general, financial or personal. We will get through this and look at the future.
Good times, I got a new grandson born last Thursday, more good news...baby and my daughter are safe, despite a serious birth complication. I am glad everything is ok and can hold my new grandson.
Down time today...bad storm hit us last night and damaged my roof, knocked some shingles off and had a serious leak this morning. I just mopped it up, next plan is what am I going to do? Got estimate, will cost about $5,000.00 for labor and new shingles. So for now, just going to have to get someone to just patch it up.
Good news, I have received 2 CDs in the mail, one was unexpected. It was from Kingston. They were copies of the notes I have requested months ago. I did get notes via e-mail around 2 months after I sent for them and I was wondering why I didn't get them for so long...but why did they also sent me a CD copy of this? I didn't request it. Then just a few days ago got another CD it contained more information and copy of our application, with notes written on it with stamped dates. (I did not get e-mail) It including all letters I have sent to them by e-mail and copies of some documentation i.e. phone bills, western union receipts, plane ticket receipts, details of Maddants medical in detail, x-ray, and me being a nurse, I understand that Maddants is perfectly healthy LOL! It had our wedding photos, and copies of e-mails I have written to Kingston, along with letters from my family. it is a large file. It shows I have been very busy sending Kingston stuff. It says Maddants is to have interview and It also gave us a hint why interview is requested. Now the next step....the interview....we are waiting! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I say, bring it on! :D :D :D Maddants is prepared and will continue to prepare, there is nothing he does not know about me and my family! I will keep sending Kingston phone bills, Western union receipts, more pictures of me and Maddants when I was in Jamaica,and letters for as long as we are waiting, I will make our file bigger!
Take care forum family, I am praying for everyone. Remember to keep your hopes up, don't focus on the negative or what could have been, we all have hurdles that you can overcome. In the end will be happiness! ;D ;D ;D You take 2 steps forward and one step back, but you will get there eventually.
Take care forum family, Until next time I am back on this forum. I will check here when I can.
Note to Maddants...
I love you!!!! :-*

Akiikwe, what a lovely surprise to have you visit us this evening!

Congratulations on the birth of your grandson and I'm happy to hear that he is doing well. :D

When you ordered your notes did you request a copy of the entire file? I think that may be why you got everything. ;) Maddants is going to do great at the interview and he will be with you before you know it!

I'm sorry to read about the damage the storm caused to your home.. Too bad your hubby wasn't in Canada to clean up the mess and shingle the roof for you! :p

Thanks for stopping by and giving us an update!

Good morning forum family,

It has been awhile, that work barbeque took a lot out of me. It was a success!!!! Everyone had a wonderful time from the VP to directors, and office staff. I was told that I out done myself and when is the next event, cause everything was spectacular. Yeah to me...lol! I wont be planning any events anytime soon for work at least. Now the planning starts for my course fundraiser. Enough about me.

@ Tin Tin...girl you had me screaming like a teeny bopper at a Justin Beiber concert. I am over the moon, excited, and ohh sooo happy for you, your husband, and family. I wish him a safe flight, speedy immigration check in, and a wonderful long weekend with his lovely wife. When you come up for air post your landing story. All the best to you guys!

@ Chickie....I am glad they finally responded to your emails. They are working just know that. Before you know it they are going to request your ARC and then hubby will be home!

@ Nev...Trust me when I say that you are one of the most wonderful and kind people I have met in a long time. I know our friendship will extend past this process and our hubbys will be best buds. We have that New York trip to take...lol! Whenever day or night if you need me I am here as you have been for everyone else.

@ Sammy... Your daughter is a Gem. She is so beautiful. Just think in 6 weeks you will have help with the night shift.

@ O&O...Congrats on the update. You won't be staying until Jan. I know that much.

@ Maddants...thanks for always showing love and remembering me in your prayers.


To the rest of the forum...Keep the positivity always...cause the devil can only thrive in negativity and only you can allow him too.

Words for the day!!!!

Today as you go forward in Victory, know that there will be a day when others words are not encouraging to you. It is in those moments that you have to be able to encourage yourself. Dig within and find the words you need to push you forward. You are a champion...so keep pushing. The Victory has already been declared yours!!!


Stay Sweet!

Thanks for the support. I will need it, this will be my first fundraiser but the Lord guides me and never leaves me. No news yet. They do say no news is good news so any day now...my love will be calling me to tell me he got his PPR. O&O...I know for myself I will continue to support this forum as it is something I hold dear to me. Everyone who is going through this process should be made aware of this great extended support system. Besides I have to stick around to read your landing story :D

Hello Good Morning VO fam...I just have to say a couple things, first off I haven't been on the forum for as long as some people but there are a few things I want to bring to our VO family's attention.
1. you all are wonderful people from what I have read and how you encourage one another.

2. I was welcomed with kindness

3. you all have the positive vibe (LOVE IT!!!)

4. we all have to thank immigration one way or another for bringing a lovely bunch of people together!!

And for me it's an inspiration to meet such kind people...And for all those who have gotten a step forward in the process I am happy for you and it is soooo deserving, and for those who's hubby's and wifey's that are on they're way to they're loved ones live life to the fullest, and when things go bad like they sometimes do...remember and mark the immgiration journey and remember anything is possible with faith and determination!!!

And thats totally alright with me!!! Not too many people can relate or start to understand what all of us have been through and are going through!!! And its a GRRRRREAT feeling to know you have people out there going through the same experiences and have encouraging words for everybody... ;)
