Dec 7 - hope for the best, plan for the worst

I spoke with my wife from the consultant's office and met with my lawyer. She was wondering why I was speaking in such a low tone of voice. But I told her it's because I didn't want to me rude. I also have to get a transcript of the Chinese courses I took at Seneca. People think I either speak fluent Chinese or none at all apparently

From what I was told, after I submit our appeal, either
a) my wife gets a visa
b) I meet for an ADR (alternate dispute resolution)
c) I get a full hearing (wait wait wait)

Wait about 2 months to find out, then probably get c) and wait another 10. My wife wants to go back to Guizhou for a bit, looks like she can.
