You guys would be just as mad if everyone else was yammering away in some language you didn't understand! Think about it ??? how would it feel..

Anyways, was there any good news this week guys? I have been busy and didn't have a chance to try and follow along. Didn't seem like much action though.

Haven't heard a lot too Steph. :-[ Hopefully they get back on track next week. How's your AOM?

About the language, I guess if that's his only concern I would def understand, but he grumbles a lot. And to say, he says the same thing over and over. So yea, I know he's free to say whatever, but it's just annoying to read his same complaints everyday- his age, the 40K he spent, paying the fees upfront, his advantage as being a citizen, what else? I predict he will post about those another 1000 times. :-X :-X :-X

Yeah but that's already obvious.. we can all see everybody needs friends (=`ω´=)

He got the AOM yesterday, finally! After I emailed this delivery service of the ecensus people to ask when we should be expecting delivery, they said they attempted delivery on the 23 and 25, and without contacting us stopped trying to deliver. It was earlier then we expected and even one was on a weekend! I can't believe he waited one week in the house after that point. So in the meantime I ordered it online on citizen services and it arrived within 2 days and I could even pay it online with my credit card. They phoned him for delivery. Then finally it was all ready, at 4:30 pm and all of a sudden he was hungry! I was like nooooooo no time to eat, run like the wind... but he ate anyways, there's no rushing him, and he actually made it to DHL in time, for delivery today, whew!
So if anyone is thinking of ordering a document I highly recommend Teleserv over Ecensus. It's quicker, easier to pay online, and they phone before delivery.. with Air 21 (I think.. sounded like Forever 21 that's probably how I remember it)
Teleserv Link (ecensus doesn't deserve one.. hmph)

Thanks for the advice!! I'll def do that with our AOM. So husband doesn't need to go through the line up in census, coz apparently, that's what he's planning to do. :-X
Hopefully your husband can mail his PP and other req soon!!! Can't wait till you post "HUSBAND GOT HIS VISA ALREADY!"

Steph, how did you fill out Appendix A? Of course you would enter your husband's details under the 'Applicant' column but did you leave the 'Spouse' column blank or did you put all your details in that column despite the fact that you are a Canadian citizen?

Oh shoot, I think we messed up. The letter says no need to fill in passport details for people who are non-accompanying. And I remember reading him my passport number for him to fill out. I hope it's obvious enough that I'm a Canadian. I think you would fill out the details but no need for the passport number.

The answer to "Marital Status" was the most perplexing. Because technically I'm "Single" and he's "Married" but for the purpose of our application we put "Conjugal" in those fields with a note on the bottom to explain.

I would either go with all or nothing personally. I was thinking of leaving it all blank, that is, if ever my partner gets a passport request! It would appear that the VO office forgot to finish July 2012; today they picked their first September applicant and earlier one from November!

But you're a family member, so you have to be included on the Appendix A - that's the whole basis of the application isn't it? You're are Common Law partners, right?

Yes, we are common-law partners. So you think my details should be entered even though I am a Canadian citizen?
