We're all here in the same boat, kid.

It's definitely a rough trip.

But the reward at the end is amazing. :)

I'm sure it'll feel like being starved for months and months and finally getting to dig in ( :devil: ) to your favorite meal again.

Good luck on a speedy approval. :D

Who ever said life was fair, but anyway, God bless you, and keep you strong in the patience department. (F)(F) May your time go by quickly.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Hi TroyG,

Welcome to VJ and don't worry too much. Stressing and waiting is just a part of the process. However, now that I know you have allll this time on your hands.. why dont you fill in your timeline? It'll sure help to keep the site stats up to date. Hunt through the timelines as well - you can find filing buddies and get a sense of when you can hope to be approved.

wow,

so many replies in such a short time, thank you all. it does make you feel better knowing that there are others going through the same thing and willing to help you. i just wish my baby could be here by x-mas.

i paid a attorney but after coming to this sight i proberbly could have done it for myself because it just seems like all she is doing is giving me the forms to fill out. do any of you think its better to have an attorney than to do it alone.

thanks again...

I went to a Visa service here in the US, not knowing it was designed to get USCs visas for other countries, not the other way around. They referred me to a lawyer, and when the person started talking about thousands of dollars, I just kinda tuned out. Then when the person said 99% of fiance(e) visas were declined, I knew they were talking out their @$$.

I'm glad to have done the work myself.
