NOA1 to NOA2 Timeline

chilton747 · January 8, 2008

You have a lot of patience Sunshine. Actually I have drawn a "line in the sand" for January 15th. If I don't hear anything by then I will start to make plans to move to China. I actually started this process in April of 2005. I guess I have waited long enough for the gvt. to decide that my wife and I can be together. So this is my version of BEING POSITIVE!! My wife and I have waited long enough. I have to take control of my life away from our gvt.
Sorry for the rant but it's been a long wait.

Actually, I really am trying really hard not to succumb to the temptation to lash out, cry, and do something stupid. My husband and I are not really patient people but we're here and we're trying. If you notice from my timeline, we didn't file the petition until after 1 year of being married. Our initial plan was to find alternative living arrangements - a neutral country where we can both find work and start our married life - but that plan didn't pan out. His frequent trips to the Philippines has become very expensive and detrimental to his career so we thought, you know, we have reached the dead end and will need to file for the visa. A few months into this and the gathering of the documents alone, drove us nuts to the point of us always fighting and so we thought, we need a "shock absorber" - we hired a lawyer. Now whenever we need to vent, fire up at something (someone), then there's the lawyer - at least me and my husband don't fight about this "great" visa process anymore out of frustration (sexual and everything else).

There's always that thought in our heads that maybe he can just move to the Philippines, unfortunately, his profession will not allow him to move here and get the same pay here as he is getting there. It's just not an option for us. It's financial ruin.

I feel for you. And I just have to say, that you're very lucky that you have the option to move out of the US and join your wife. I have to agree that that in itself is BEING POSITIVE. I wish my husband and I can also do the same. For now, all we can really do is try not to count the months that we haven't been together and instead count the months lesser that we will be apart - that way, it's easier to bear.

Cheers to the NOA2s coming before the 15th for you and before the 31st for me.

At least you have your sense of humor now ("shock absorber")

I can see that you 2 have know each other for a long time. How well I know this adds to the difficulty of waiting. Indeed count the lesser months that you will be apart!!!

Cheers to having your NOA2 come soon Sunshine I will be looking for your good news!!!!!!!

Wow, I cant help but notice one date in paticular Miriam n Alain, they got their NOA2 in 1 day from getting NOA1?

Yes I saw that as well. I don't know the story behind that.
