Congratulations Rhonald, you must be over the moon.

If it were me I wouldn't be talking either.  To much celebration.  Also I would be trying to figure out how to get the house clean while I was still away with my bride.     I'm sure Ron had that done before he left.

Great news Rhonald

Hey Rhonald,

Haven't had an update from you in a while and it's nearly Feb.  Any word from the consulate?

[Rhonald]

I have posted a link to an immigration blog site I follow. The last 2 pages are the current ones. The main guys I am following up after is King125, BabyNSX, and ebrenchley.

King125 is who I follow most closely because I usually get my updates a month after him. His wife's redo medical was sent early October and still he has not heard back from the consulate. As he mentions on the blog site - his MP stated that his file has a bring forward date of Jan 15th, so he will probably hear something soon. So for me I figure maybe early February.

The other two persons also have interesting developments with their cases that has DRAMA pulling at their own heart strings.

To be honest, why I don't post to much lately, well if I think too much on my situation I just get angry.

Thanks for asking anyways - but shouldn't your focus be directed somewhere else? You have a trip to entertain us with.

I have been following King125 and BabyNSX as well (I have that forum in my RSS feeds so when there is a post, I see it).  I really feel for you guys.  I just thought you might have some additional info (that and as I am away from my main computer, I haven't been able to follow for the last several days).

Wonder if we could push for some reform... I think out of all the countries that have been represented in our forum so far, we have the most red tape...

Well my wife received a letter from the Consulate today and she typed into QQ the following: "AS YOUR son's father's name appears on birth certificaate ,he may have some custody rithts to your son, plaeas provide a Civil a A dministration or peoples's court document that clearly indicates that you have full custody for son".


The notarized document she sent back in December had information stating that the court would not issue a document giving my wife full custody of the child since they never heard from the boy's father. My wife told me that she tried to find him in his old town but his business had moved so now she will put out a notice in the paper to try to contact him.

Her son will be 17 in July and he has told his mom to consider maybe going to Canada by herself for the marriage and when he turns 18 for her to apply to sponsor him.

So now it looks like I will be sending a request to the consulate to see what steps we need to take to change our application. I can see us needing to provide proof of someone taking care of the boy, but who knows what kind of bind we are getting into.

My wife was quite upset and she thinks that if she does not come soon that the marriage would be over. I tried to soothe her by saying that if we needed to wait until the boy turns 18 that I was not going to walkout of the marriage. Besides, I always have the website here to keep me entertained while I wait for her.

Jeeze Rhonald, you really are being tested here, hard to know what to say but I AM in admiration of your strong spirit and determination to see this through. I think it bodes well for your future life together which will make this seem but the proverbial blink of an eye, though of course it doesn't feel like that now.
I for one will be celebrating when your lovely wife gets on the plane to Canada at last

Rhonald , sorry to hear of this latest hiccup , I assume that the letter sent to your wife was in English , she needs to find a very skilled interpreter who is good at greasing , either at the Peoples Court or Civil Administration and for her to go along with son and get the relevant authority to stamp a piece of paper , what if the father is dead or moved countries 12 years ago there would be possibly no record of him , good luck Sujuan and Robert .

We all are pitching for you...but all we can do is give you messages of support.
