Reasons for Optimism

[lgg 2]

Yepper, Malr....

You are my inspiration for may as well enjoy the stuff that's coming up rather than crying myself into blindness.

I mean, in reality? We bought the xmas ticket already, the work days are booked off for both us. Almost 2 weeks of hanging out and having fun. It'll be good. I have a whole pile of xmas parties and events coming up, I have craploads of work to do and friends to be with. So... may as well just have fun. I get worried though that they're only going to schedule 1 a month for the next while but okay so that means I have 5 more months to wait. ***

*** Based ONLY on the data and people listed here.

Yep, I've pretty much decided that there isn't anything I can do about any of this so I am just going to enjoy my holidays as best I can.

I've spent all morning cleaning our house, prepping it to decorate next week and to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us.

Well my wife's case was extremely weird and unique so I wouldn't put too much into how long ours took, but we were outside of the posted timeframe by about 2 months when we finally got the interview, then we had to wait for the stupid Consul to actually look at the docs that we had with us when she denied us, so it took a while.

I know so well that helpless feeling you're talking about. My wife and I actually started to review other countries and their immigration processes as it was really beginning to look like it wasn't going to happen for us here.

I'm very glad you two will be seeing each other for a few weeks soon, that will most definitely help with the waiting. I can't remember a worse feeling than coming back from Montreal after they denied us but thinking back being outside the timeframe and not knowing what to do was just as bad. I wish you guys nothing but the best!

OH #######... and you got DENIED on top of it all.

Geezus... yeah, this process has the real propensity to suck the joy out of life. But damn, I just can't let that happen otherwise what would have been the point of just about everything...

If you don't want to answer the questions here, please PM me? But I wanted to ask on what basis were you originally denied? Was it the now infamous establishing of domicile?

just curious as I like know that things either will or will not be a factor for me to have to consider. The domicile thing is NOT a factor for us.

Thanks so much for your well-wishes -- this site is invaluable at helping us all keep our chins up.

Once we get an interview, watch for the flares shooting off on this site.

Lol Oh it's all good. Yeah I remember the day that my wife said she got the visa in the mail, it was 12:15 in the afternoon. Upon finishing my work day I drove right over there to pick her up and I had her home with me forever on my birthday by 12:30AM, was a very cool memory

My wife's denial was based on her family's asylum claim in the States that started way back in 1991. Long story short the case was eventually denied and her family either had to return to the craphole that WAS Yugoslavia (Serbia specifically) back then or try to go somewhere else. Luckily Canada recognized the horrible state of that country and she was able to move there and we started the process of bringing her back a few years later.

Just imagine how cool it will be if you find out right around Christmas time that your interview is scheduled It's weird how it sometimes happens like that but we actually found out about her interview right around a holiday so maybe some people at Montreal do it that way on purpose Lol.

Wow. You weren't kidding about complicated! Glad that worked out for you guys, finally! HOly hoop-jumping though, eh? I think I'll remember a lot of things about this journey -- it certainly is unlike anything I've ever done before. maybe I WILL go back and get my PhD... i'm thinking it might be easier!

Give us ALL interview for xmas -- I don't want anything else anyway...

Thanks bowflex... you're a gem...

Now that Greenhaus just got scheduled for a December interview, I think it's time to bump this thread!

Optimism, folks! Optimism!

[Varba 0]

Lgg, I will be optimistic for you.

December ain't over yet!

Also, I won't ever be a cheerleader for any reason (other than Peachey).

But, if I were... this is what you might get:

In short.. hope you laughed.

*insert optimism here*

I havent been waiting for interview as long as some of the other people on this forum but I am very optimistic that December will be a lucky month for CR1 interview scheduling. I want to see LOTS of interviews scheduled so we can move to the front of the interview wait line Good Luck Everyone!!!

December would be stupendous!

Greenhaus had been waiting the longest of anyone here though, so they MAY have just made a point of squeezing him in.

Or maybe it's the beginning of a mass scheduling. B)
