I can't think of any other way we would have met. It's a little geeky, but I wouldn't change a thing! It's worked out great. :)

Hey--nothing wrong with being geeky! 'Tis an adjective we use with pride :). We met online over 9 years ago but in a chat room. We did play WoW, for about 3 years (LONG after having met in person and living together), but recently gave that up.

Quick question for people that have already landed. When they send you the email they send you a link for picture specs. These are a bit different from the size of the ones we handed in last time. Has anyone had trouble getting their cards following the links specs???

I e-mailed Buffalo regarding my file (with the help of client ID, D.O.B., Kit # etc) , we had sent an additional document they mentioned in my sponsorship approval letter. So I e-mailed them to confirm they've received it and if we want to send a few more supporting documents, where can we send them. It was basically to know how close they are to creating a file number for us...This is the response I got - -

We are currently creating family class applications received January 7, 2011. You will recieve a letter of acknowledgement upon the creation of your file in Buffalo.

Due to high volumes, we cannot acknowledge receipt of email, fax, regular correspondence (applications, payments, documents or information) or medical exam results.

If you have recently submitted documents or information to this office, we will update your file accordingly, if needed.

If we require additional documents, we will contact you.
