Hello friends.

II just had my interview in Montreal this morning. Other than a small scare where they thought we had notprepaid the visa fee's and wanted $400.00US cash which I obviously didn't have = things went great.

I will post a review later.

Thank yout to everyone who has helped and prayed for s along the way.

Hi Martina,

Hopefully within a week.

It was bad enough being away from my husband but now our little daughter is down there. Until now, I have never been without her longer than 12 hours and I am in agony.

Thank you for the well wishes everyone.
