haha im impressed you havent gone crazy yet, your process is taking kind of a long time too.

Well, if nothing else, during this lengthy wait I've been productive. I used the time to finish my training and have been teaching in addition to my full time job. Being busy and doing things I love have gone a long way to helping me maintain sanity at least 95% of the time. As for the other 5%, well hey .... we all have our "moments". And between immigration stress and working for lawyers, I definitely needed to find something calm to balance out the crazy. Teaching yoga seemed to fit the bill :

hahah you remind me of myself!!.
your receptionist probabaly thought you were crazy

so far i only check it once a day. i feel like i dont have any faith in it so why bother looking.
but my email on the other hand i check it constantly.!! 8)

i noticed your application is taking longer than the last few people who got their visas.
is there a reason? do you have kids. or second marriage or anything that would cause it to take longer?
or is it just standard and simple and unfortunatly not one of the lucky ones to go through fast??
just curious

I just read it
WATTTTT!!! that is crazy. why would it even matter if he had a tattoo.
unless he was charged for something. i guess they suspected gang related?
but still this is canada we are going to. everyone has tattoos. i know mexico is a different story.
that sucks!
i really hope your process finishes quickly!
so how long has it been exactly since the app was transfered to mexico city?
