So how soon are you guys gonna file for AOS after you get married?

The day after.

I want to get the EAD as soon as possible as sitting at home for days on end will drive me nuts.

As soon as I get the marriage certificate. I know in some places you have to wait a few weeks for it to come in the mail.

Hi all,

I am having such a bad day, it all started with a bad dream in the night. I was all alone and was yelling for Keith but he wouldnt answer me , then it went all dark and I couldnt see anything or anyone. I woke up crying and feeling like is this going to be the outcome of all of this.. Am I going to be all alone. I guess it is just my fears coming out of me right now but I hate it. I have been sad all day and cant pull myself out of it.

I was with Keith for along time and now that we are apart it is driving me crazy. We spent all of our time together and now I get maybe 2 hours a day with him on MSN. ITs not enough , I cant handle this :( .. I know alot of you have been apart for so long and I dont know how you do it. I miss him so much it hurts. We have only been apart for 2 weeks what will I be like when it turns into months. I feel lost and all alone. I am sorry for this but I had to tell someone how I feel

I understand how you feel Chelle :( but you're almost there. Only a few more months to go and then you don't ever have to be apart from him. You already have your NOA2. The rest of the process will fly by. You'll be together in 3 months max. I saw my Jeremy during the Thanksgiving holiday. I don't think I'll see him again until he moves here in May/June BUT once he's here, he's here - that's what I focus on. Almost there!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWW babygirl come here! ((((((BIG SISTER HUGS)))))) I totally understand. It is now 1.6 years since I have physically seen my sweetie Kai. I miss everything about him and would give up 10 years of my life to even be in the same ROOM with him. I stay busy planning our wedding together or even alone. I want it to be special for HIM. I know he will be home in or by February. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I do cry and he does to. Just stay busy somehow and remember how much you both love each other and that soon he will be here.

I can understand your dreams and how it must be scary and anxiety sets in ( i know! i do the same thing!)

BUT I know its JUST a dream and ONLY a dream and not reality.

It will be okay my Vj sister!!

Chelle

I know exactly what you mean. But thank god for Skype! Spend as much time as you possible can either on chat or skype or calling cards, whatever you can manage. It helps the time pass. Start planning your future as well. You both can surf the internet looking for a nice place to live, look for jobs or a university, etc etc. All these things help the time pass.
