Finally.

E-Cas has changed to read Decision Made and they mailed the letter Sept. 14. Provided the horses don't get too tired, we might receive it this week.

Now where was that bottle of champagne??

I love all you guys. Sorry to hear you're unwell, Chris. I just have to tell you that we are living pretty much at the end of the earth, so the mail does take awhile.

Richard's passport came yesterday from the BHC and the postman (Michael) was so excited he phoned us up to tell us it was here. ha ha. I think he thought it was the Immigration papers!

The whole town will be celebrating. Well...town might be a bit of a stretch...

Anyway, thanks to you all for the best wishes. I will report when we actually receive the papers (not today!), but it will be a bit anti-climactic.

And thanks, Maple Leaf, for all the vibes coming this way! It HAS been a long road but one well-travelled, indeed.

Cheers, and best of luck to the rest of you. It will happen eventually.

So...YAY! It actually happened. And as predicted, it was fairly anti-climactic. Here was I, expecting fancy Immigration papers or whatever and instead it was a little letter saying the decision is made (knew that) and the Sudbury CIC would be contacting us for the final decision.

Why can't they just say, "You're in!" and get it over with! What on earth could happen to put the brakes on this?

We don't really care. As far as we're concerned, the 14 month wait since applying and the 3 year wait since...well...everything, is O-V-E-R.

(Hey. How come that cute little drinking beer icon disappeared?)

I'll post our timeline in another message for people's edification.

Thanks again for all of the support through this process. To those of you who are beginning, it will eventually happen. Have faith.

Cheers
