I am so relieved that it's over. It has definitely been a very trying year and then some. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.

Dear Angel2k6,
So glad your wait is over... like you we have seen our application delayed by a request for more info, and when you see so many others on this site get their family class visas faster (some within a couple of months) it's so frustrating. There are times when I gnash my teeth with envy at yet another "boyfriend-girlfriend" combo getting the okay within weeks, while married couples and their children can sometimes be forced to live apart for months, while jumping through all kinds of hoops (often unnecessary) which delay the process interminably and cause major extra expense.

Very best of luck. Normal married life will soon resume... after all the stress of the immigration process, will it all be sooo sedate? ;)

We are all very relieved the process is over. I'm sure as everyone else knows here, your life is put on hold for the time you are waiting. We are happy that we will be together again soon and we can finally take our lives off hold.
