Welcome..... I hope the wait for all of us will be short.....

I know everyone is hoping for feb approvals...... but I l am holding out for approvals to begin the last week in Jan.

For christmas I want to be home in my bed or infront of the rubbish box(TV), but my family will probaly drag me to go outside and celebrate the season......

I do not know how people are getting through this waiting period but I need the next step to begin.....Sorry for the ranting :D

Ever heard of it?...'Twas awesome,....sometimes the connection is SOO difficult that it gets to the nerves but CAN'T really complain coz its a free service....but most of the time The video chat is like just you are talking in the same room....why chat if u can talk..and its free!!! Lol.....now advertising skype here...ty it out....

Aww, I feel really bad for people who can't be with their loves for Christmas. We are at least on the same continent--in fact it would be only 4 hours by plane if there were a direct flight--so we manage to spend at least a long weekend together about once a month. That is bad enough! It also helps that we are only one time zone apart so we can talk on the phone. His parents immigrated to Canada from the UK and his dad had actually wanted to go to New Zealand. If his dad had won that argument, we likely would not have met (we met through a mutual friend in Edmonton), but even if we had, I honestly don't know how we would have managed this long distance part. I really have to admire all of you who are managing that kind of distance.

Hey everyone,

I will be here with my family for Christmas. I at least have my kids with me to celebrate. I'm looking forward to going to see my sweety in February :dance: I'm so excited for that. I'm also hoping for a Feb. approval. We had our NOA1 issued on the 25th of Oct. and Morocco doesn't seem to be getting approvals as fast as the others right now. Not sure why. Maybe people just aren't updating their timelines. I hope to see them moving soon though. I did read someone's review for Morocco and she said that she had no touches at all until the day her NOA2 was issued. I really hope that will be soon. Happy holidays everyone!! :)
