I just called NVC and heard the same answer that I have heard for the past 15 months. AP is still pending. :angry:

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I asked the lady (Lu) if there has been any progress, she said it's still pending. I asked is it on hold... she said no, it's still pending... I didn't need her... they should have a recorder answer my call or better yet a robot...

I then told her it's been 15 months... she said I see that... WOW.... double WOW :huh:

So I wonder is no news good news.... But then I am worried... what's going on? Why is this taking so long?

I know no one has an answer... I wished someone did... :blink:

Gosh Yasi, this is awful what they are putting you through. Your case has not ever even left the NVC? Wow, I didn't think they kept them there that long. What the heck are they doing to it that could take over a freaking year? This is unbelieveable, I am so sorry to hear this....it makes me very sad to hear what you are going through. I know how the pain feels to be away from the person you love and waiting, I had to wait 6 months for the NOA2, which is nothing compared to your wait, but it was awful for me. Now my case is at NVC, and it has been there for a few weeks, I hoping and praying it is not there very long. I will keep you in my prayers as well, Yasi, that your case resolves soon. Good Luck and Best Wishes to you.

Thank you Omid... That's so kind of you. It seems that nothing and no one can do anything at this point. All I can do is pray...

Thanks for praying for us...

I'm sorry Yasi it's taking so long. I know it's frustrating and many other words that i can't even write here. I'm in the same boat here, just waiting a little less (13 months since i've filed). Take one day at a time, try to live your life (or pretend for your healt and wellbeing) like it's going as you want it to. My last 'deadline' was to see him by the end of summer, lol. Now i'm waiting till November. I know it's not something you wanted to do - wait, but you will get through and it will be all right, girl! I know it will, and i believe it too; same as for me. OK. I don't remember if i read if you got anyone else 'working' on your case like a Congress person or someone like that. Have you tried that? I know so far it's not helping my case, but who knows? Maybe it'll help.

I keep everyone here on VJ in my prayers, so you're in them too.

hugs

Yasi, I want so much to offer you some magical words of wisdom, but I just don't have any. All I can say to you is what I keep telling myself... at some point in time (and only God knows when) this part of the journey has to reach a conclusion.

As I said in another thread, Mohammed reminded me to stop thinking about the visa and about "tomorrow" and to just be happy with eachother as we were before the whole visa nightmare began. I know it's so damn hard to put those dreams away. It's like cutting off an arm. But the dream remains, your love is real, and tomorrow always comes.

I'm feeling you. I'm here to help if I can. Hugs.

Thank you Tanya... I have contacted a congresswoman, Senator Boxer, emailed FBI, and called FBI yesterday. I was told they can't say since the checks are being done in Washington DC and they're back logged. I just have to wait.... I will keep trying to find a way.... Thanks for your prayers... You're in prayers as well. :yes:

Wowwww that seems like such an unreasonably long delay you are having to endure.... I am really sorry.

I know what you mean. It is very hard and the worry keeps getting in the way. Every morning I wake up the first thing that comes to my mind is when and how long more... when do I see him again. Sometimes I have no energy to think about it. I am mentally exhausted... BUT I still go on and pray that God takes me through this.

Best of luck to you Jean... You're almost there... Hang in there. You're in my prayers. (F)
