It was a really hard journey for us also in the beginning. We had to be apart 1 week after we got married then wait about 9 months to be together again. One of the hardest things either of us ever did. I know your's is much tougher than that even so I can only imagine. I can tell you that once we got out of USCIS everything was so much easier and we never had the same anxiety again, so I will hope and pray that it will be the same for you and any others who have been stuck for an unusually long time. Hang in there, and you will get through it.

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

I pray every night for our approval.. just losing a lot of faith now.. :crying: :crying: even my confidence level is dropping to near bottom now.. We are pretty much discussing our lives in China now.. what we plan to do there.. I just made another service request yesterday, but those things never work... the CSC person said that my birthday was coming soon, and that "happy birthday".. but I said "I don't really care for that.. I'm still away from my wife".. It's been almost a year now, and still no decision.. :crying:

In 2month Devine will be celebrating her 1st year anniversary with her husband. I will unfortunately be sharing it over the phone. Can you believe that we were married two days apart in the same city?

I am having the same problem with my petitions as she did.

I will pray for the same ending result.

I feel everyone's Pain, Sorrow, joy, and celebrations! I thank God for you all! Even the ones who like to keep me on my tip toes.

God bless you all.

There is no consistency in any of this! Thank you all for praying together!

Lurking... my journey isn't over yet and yours may take a sudden turn for the better like mine did! You just never know what to expect in this mess.

I'm glad to be a part of this large loving family.

We now stand at 258 days since our NOA1, and no word yet.

I've seeked help with my congressman and senator, so hopefully that will offer some help.

I have lost hope, but somehow I'm still full of it.

Bless you all!
