I couldn't think straight today. My mind was very much occupied with one thing - my husband's visa. I got so jittery that I rang the Australian Embassy. It has only been one month since we lodged the application (we got the acknowledgment letter a few days later), but what the heck, I had nothing to lose.
I rang the Embassy without even thinking that I hadn't shared my thoughts with hubby (sorry love, my jitters got the best of me). I had the tiniest hope that they would tell me that his visa has just been approved. But of course, my tiniest hope didn't matter.
They didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. His visa was in the processing stage, that the processing time averaged 4-6 months, and that they will contact us if they require anything else. I tried to push my luck by asking what the chances are with getting his visa approved by April. And as expected, they said they cannot make any assumptions. You don't lose anything by asking, right?
Anyway, back to waiting. Still hoping and praying that hubby will be able to join me here by April.
I don't like this game very much. Boo. :c

Thea, indeed patience my child... has hubby gone for his interview yet? If not then there is no point in asking when his visa will be given as everyone i think will have to go thru a certain interview process. After that, then lets cross our fingers that it will only be a matter of weeks or betteryet that it will be given that same day ... in the meantime occupy yourself with something more exciting and dont stress out... you dont want hubby to see you all stressed and worn down do you.... :)
thanks sis jigi.. most of the time i am alright with waiting, it's just sometimes when i have nothing much to do i end up thinking about hubby's visa.. but you are totally correct, i should keep myself occupied so i don't think about it too much.. i need to stay pretty for hubby.. hahaha.. thanks much sis.. mwah!!! :D
ako din naman I waited mga five weeks bago ko natanggap yung visa ko. i hated the waiting game then too. pero when i look back, okay na rin coz by the time I came I had come in to terms with myself about migrating, and doing all the things I wanted to do while I was in Manila then. Things happen for a reason. SIge lang, pag nandyan na si hubby mo, til eternity na kayong magkasama. :D
wow, that sounds good sis leah - eternity. hehe. :D
i can't believe your visa was released in five weeks! sana we are also that lucky. :) thanks so much for the support. mwah!
