GREAT WONDERFUL NEWS!!

I was waiting to share this until things were finalized, and now it is so now I can share!

About a week and a half ago we got word from our lawyer that the LMO (labour market opinion) Stephan's company needed to hire him, and that Stephan needed for his work permit to be approved came in! Which meant we could now apply for Stephan's work permit. The lawyer said that we could drive over the border and back, and if the border immigration people were willing, the work permit could be processed there and he would be able to start work immediately. If they weren't, then we'd have to mail in the application and wait.

So, on Saturday we took the chance and drove down to the border and.....

STEPHAN GOT HIS WORK PERMIT!

He can go back to work! Our life can go on as normal, and we can start the sponsership!

SO SO HAPPY!

He starts back at work next week :) YAY!
