Hello everyone. I now have managed to establish what happened, so I am glad to be able to come back on here and tell you. I am sorry if my post worried people. never have to feel it again. I don't want to go into minute detail and sorry if this is too vague but it turns out that some correspondence-clarification from DIMIA about my an aspect of my application was interpreted by an employee of my representative as a final decision of my main application and relayed to me as such. The refusal related to a proposed dependent relative (not child) on my application, but it is now established that it doesn't also mean me as primary applicant and spouse. Anyway, it is now confirmed that my visa application is apparently still in the queue (amongst all of yours and many others no doubt) and it is otherwise a simple application, now that the clarification is resolved and interpreted by someone experienced to do so. Thank you to all those who sympathised with me and took the trouble to reply and send PM's - I want to try and put everyones mind at rest - I'm sure all of your visas are not far away as they are obviously asessing ones well into March or beyond. I hope I can post a 'got it' in the future although this has taken the wind out of my sails and I feel a bit flat and wary of what will come next. Don't want to get my hopes up as I know now what a dreadful feeling it is to feel a refusal. I don't know how I would be feeling now if it were really real?? I wouldn't be here posting as I would feel such grief at seeing all the 'got its' that I want to be one of, pleased for them all as I am and will be. This scare was unfortunate but there is no point in me mulling over it. I am just glad I may still be in with a chance!! I have also developed a phobia about opening my email inbox!! Need some karma to get me back to normal or somewhere near.
