bjnissa,
i wish i could give you an insight that would explain it but unfortunately i can not.
I have prayed alot lately, not for the process to go quickly, but for my future and happiness to be in God's hands. Apparently, that worked
Other than that, all i can say is that our relationship is genuine and took great care in filling out the forms and ensuring we followed all the instructions. As for extra's all i can say is i get my marriage certificate registered in canada by the Dominican Consulate here.
Everything else was the standard stuff such as photos, postcards/letters, phone bills, vacation invoices etc....and not a large quantity either although i have visited him 8 times since we met.
I am just very grateful and feel very blessed!
