Want to buy a house? I think it would suit you and Trav very nicely. :lol:

Actually it's only been on the market for a week and we've turned down one offer. And our house in the US isn't finalised yet so we're not in rush - yet. Have to go out in a minute as we have more showings today. Hope one of them will like it.

Lol...don't tempt me...our original plan was to stay here in Canada. Yay for changing plans :( You turned down an offer?? Nice! Good luck with the showings!

Darnell, you are not the only one that has been trying... sometimes you just gotta give up trying to help and put the energy on someone who appreciates it!

Sorry but provoking people isn't fun, nor is it polite/mature. If we are all stressed out, maybe we're coming in here to relax/get answers/feel BETTER...not worse. And for the record, every time I s

Yes, Darnell is is arrogant, with a touch of conceitedness thrown in. He's straight forward and to the point, he doesn't sugar coat it, to the point that it's sometimes rude. Sometimes that's what peo

On weekends I always think about the process. This will end when I am with my wife in the states. On weekend, as usual, I talk, chat with wifey I rest and go to rehearsal in the afternoon at church. I play piano for my church, I'm christian.

I would say...if you are able to...go and get a flight ticket and spend some days with your wife while waiting for an interview. If that was my case, I would be more than happy to get my husband some days with me giving me the support I need, that would charge my batteries with more energy to wait until the interview date comes...

It's just and idea ;) just saying what I would want if I was on her shoes ^_^

I really hope you get an interview date very soon, praying for you ;)

Hahaha ya, The only good thing about immigrating to Canada is you can do it from inside Canada and not have to be apart.

Today was a hard day, hubby says goodbye to a close friend, a great man and father! I still can't believe it, how I wish I was there to give him all the support as well as all our friends. To keep busy and not think about it I decided to dedicate the day to setting up my space for hubby's arrival. My bestfriend came over and we painted (took of my bubble gum pink and apple green walls lol) and now my room is beginning to look like a married couple's room. I love it, can't wait till hubby sees our area.

I totally understand about wanting to be there for your hubby. I also did over my room a couple weeks ago and felt the same way about my husband seeing it when he finally gets here. I got huge blown up pics of our wedding. It's kinda like my way of reminding myself that he will b here soon.

U should email the DS 3032 to the NVC to avoid delaying ur application. The template to do so is on the first page of this thread. Also read the faqs on the first page of the thread to get more idea.
