And yeah, still waiting. As for what's stopping it... it's just Slow As Fuck. The wait has gone from 3months to over 2 years since we applied. It's crazy. And yet refugees are in and processed in months. Fucking hell.
Thanks. We're both pretty stressed. I'm not allowed to work without residency or a work permit (I can't have a work visa because it would require me to already HAVE a job lined up and would cost a grand to apply AND it would cancel my visitor's visa).
I can do "art", like writing, but my etsy is technically in my husband's name. I currently have a Visitor's Visa. My residency application has FINALLY reached the point where I can apply for an Open Work Permit -- but that means paperwork and $300. I've got a few more forms to fill out then I can mail that off. Ugh.
Basically it's a massive clusterfuck and I hate it. :(

I can't believe the residency thing is still going. Wth is stopping it from going through??
I'm sorry to hear you're so stressed out. No wonder. I'm glad you have the skills though, to deal with the financial side as best you can.
Are you not allowed to work without residency? How are you staying there? I'm trying to understand the system over there as I have no knowledge of it.
