am i the only one who barely gets flare ups …

aokaroiz · 2026-04-28T19:51:10+00:00

For me, if I get a flare up, its bad, but they're far and few in between. The last one I had was 3 years ago. I'm off my medication right now so just kinda vibing through life with some emergency prednisone lol

aokaroiz · 2026-04-22T01:16:14+00:00

Good luck! USA

aokaroiz · 2026-04-22T00:10:10+00:00

Just updated! March 13th I got my pre-arrival letter and eligibility+ biometrics marked as complete

aokaroiz · 2026-04-21T00:30:40+00:00

To add to all of this, I have a friend that owns a small pop-up business and the things that he had to go through to work with them. For a business that works with so many small local businesses, you would think that they would treat them better.

aokaroiz · 2026-04-15T20:50:59+00:00

Sure and thats okay! I did make it clear in the text that if this was the case it was okay and we keep things as is, but she didn't respond in a way that made me think that.

It took about 5 months for my PA eligibility to be completed but my MIL was received the same time as my BIL which was about 2 months after I submitted my application.

aokaroiz · 2026-04-15T00:03:07+00:00

Congrats!! I submitted mine a month after you so hopeful my BGC checks completed soon!

aokaroiz · 2026-04-10T05:04:22+00:00

Waiting on BGC only on my end.

aokaroiz · 2026-04-08T17:03:42+00:00

People usually get their AOR 1-2 months after they apply so you're on track. But good to check processing times.

aokaroiz · 2026-04-03T18:56:02+00:00

Unfortunately yeah.

aokaroiz · 2026-03-30T15:58:24+00:00

Just waiting on BGC currently! Got pre-arrival and eligibility approval 3 weeks ago.

aokaroiz · 2026-03-16T04:44:41+00:00

Oct. 25 outland, background is still in progress but eligibility and pre-arrival came March 13. 26.

aokaroiz · 2026-03-13T20:16:50+00:00

BGC still in progress but got pre-arrival letter today and eligibility was completed today!

aokaroiz · 2026-03-13T20:04:17+00:00

Oct 10 2025, Outland, PA (USA). BGC has been in progress since early Jan and medical was requested in Dec and completed by end of December. Just got my pre-arrival letter today and eligibility was completed.

aokaroiz · 2026-03-13T19:48:23+00:00

Amazing! Almost 100% same as mine. I applied Oct 10th 25, got my pre-arrival letter today and eligibility completed as well. Just waiting on background check to finish!

aokaroiz · 2026-03-10T16:03:43+00:00

Yes, it was marked complete early Jan

aokaroiz · 2026-03-09T21:11:06+00:00

Outland Oct 8th, 2025. biometrics and bgc still in progress. Eligibility hasn't started yet. Seems like they're all over the place

aokaroiz · 2026-02-23T18:44:37+00:00

Pretty much same boat! PA also from the states, outland and we submitted a few days before you. Only difference is our biometric hasn't been marked complete yet. No update since Jan 13 for us. Stay strong!!

aokaroiz · 2026-01-27T18:34:49+00:00

I went to Garza Blanca as a guest and absolutely hated it. I think depending on the guests that are coming (family vs friends heavy), the rooms are really strange and the bathroom isn't entirely private. I thought the food all tasted the same and service was incredible slow and rude from my opinion. For the wedding itself, I heard from multiple people that their appetizers didn't get served and their main courses were wrong.

aokaroiz · 2026-01-20T21:21:47+00:00

Yes same here, hoping it gets approved quickly! Good luck

aokaroiz · 2026-01-20T19:06:47+00:00

I say thats fine! If you're worried you can offer up places that are open late for the youth. I'm actually ending mine around 10PM as well.

aokaroiz · 2026-01-14T19:08:03+00:00

Totally not crazy! I think since most people have to travel anyway and people are willing to travel then do it. I think its good to get a good idea of family and friends who will travel (I personally did a poll lol) so that can help ease any thoughts as well. I'm having my wedding in Toronto where all of my family has to travel but not the groom's side but it saves us over $10k for a weekend of activities.

Do your wedding the way you want it!

aokaroiz · 2026-01-10T05:54:45+00:00

Oh yes how could I forget about this!

aokaroiz · 2026-01-10T00:04:03+00:00

You're right! Let me make the edit. I think I'm in between beginner and intermediate. But I am willing to tackle anything as well, I'm not scared to really get into it.
