I am still waiting! I am on the 12th day now...I am glad you started this thread. I was worried my packet 3 got lost/overlooked so I just re-emailed it again.

[valerie3956 10]

I'm on day 9 of waiting and I'm getting kind of anxious here... I might resend my packet three next week if I hear nothing this week

[valerie3956 10]

Try submitting an inquiry to the iv office... I did so Tuesday and I just received packet 4

Same here! Looks like we'll be seeing each other!

Hahaha yeah! At 7:40 am.

[andymack 19]

Haha awesome! We can coordinate a couple of days before so at least we have someone to wait in line with.

[valerie3956 10]

Yep, that would be cool, especially since we're not allowed any electronics, so listening to music will not be an option! That usually calms me down... I know I'll be SO nervous, even though I know I have nothing to worry about, because it's genuine relationship... It's crazy how we're being scrutinized and judged on our relationship... I mean, I understand why they do it, but still, it seems ridiculous when the relationship is genuine.

Why does it seem ridiculous? How can they really know? It's easy to lie on paper, and not as easy to lie in person. But there's a reason why Canada is low fraud for the most part.

[valerie3956 10]

I guess I must have expressed myself badly, what I meant to say is even though I have nothing to hide, and even though our relationship is genuine, I’ll still be really nervous about being asked about our relationship and being scrutinized about it, even though we have tons of proof of relationship, and that we are completely in love with one another… I guess this is me being overly nervous!

[NikLR 13,232]

They're easy questions. It's like having a conversation with someone. You don't feel scrutinized. Just think of all the people, friends or family or strangers, that have asked you questions about how your LDR works. It's the same sort of thing. I was asked, "So how do you communicate if you only saw each other eveey 3 months?" I said, "Well we pretty much live on Skype. We even sleep with it on." He said, smiling, "Oh that brings another question to mind but it's not appropriate." I laughed.

I honestly was not worried about the interview. I worried about remembering all the bits of paper we needed but not the outcome because I know I have a genuine relationship. I just knew it would be approved and it felt like a formality. It may not be the best thing to do but it helped me be relaxed and happy.
