Hey Ladies!

Everyone have fun that is going to Jamaica! I am going in June for... SEVEN WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but that doesnt offer me much comfort now, haha.

Lita- How are you doing today..thanks for the prayers

Gill- ARE YOU LOVING LIFE WITH KEN??????

Ladies, I need you. I am about to lose all hope and I am about to go crazy. I filed my 130 October 30. I am still at vermont. STILL. I am so depressed and so frustrated and completely have NO control in this situation. Its just rediculous. It makes me feel like I was just jaded before to think that our government actually cared. I know that seems a weird thing to say..but seriously. They are keeping families apart - and then they wonder about the moral decline of our country....

ANYWAY. I am just asking you to pray hope for me, peace for me, but most specifically FAVOR and SPEED in this process.

I am so thankful for you guys!

Hang in there, Shrewdie.

I'm not sure you can blame the moral decline of our country on the visa process. That seems a bit far fetched.

I am not blaming the START of moral decline on the visa process..but my statement is that the own leaders of our country are focused more on work visas than family visas. Our government is in charge of the USCIS and they are not protecting the citizens that the USCIS was created to serve. In my opinion, that is a reflection of the priorities of our country. Family is way down on the list.

Maybe if M was a great athlete or a famous musical artist he could come on one of those speedy fast "special skills" work visas.

I think I am starting to go crazy now because I have to sign a teaching contract each year. The thoughts of going to JA this summer, coming back without my husband and being stuck here a year not knowing when he is coming is crazy.

Anyway, I will stop complaining because that only keeps me focused on this whole frustrating process

have you tried contacting your local senator's office yet and aske them to get on the case to find out what is going on??? sometimes just having them inquire about a case can get it pushed through a little faster....

I understand where you are coming from Shrewdie. Just focus on the fact that you get to spend 7 weeks with him soon and hopefully good things will happen before you come back.

Whenever I start feeling down about the fact we are apart I think about our servicemen and women who are away from their husbands/wives/kids fighting for us in a foreign country. That usually snaps me out of my slump real fast! At least our SO's lead a normal and relatively "safe" life in JA. Keep your chin up girl.

I sympathize, Shrewdie, and get where you are coming from - I think our immigration system is so screwed up - I remember a few years ago there were some bills proposed which would increase the limits on work related visas, and place limits on family based - I read them in such disgust, way to sponsor corporate America and hurt the individuals!

Have you contacted your senator, as someone else said? I think if I were in your shoes, I would be standing on their doorstep, screaming my head off! I give you credit for getting through it with grace - Hang in there!

Hey nanny. I have. I tried that in about Feb because I wasnt online (who cares about that now) and I was afraid my case had been lost or missing info and one of the ladies there was quite rude to me. Well, that was my congressman's office. His district office is in my hometown so it was someone local. Then I go to church with our senator and his daughter is one of my best friends so he is going to contact the congressman's office for me this time. The thing is that the USCIS is just giving everyone the same answers and the congressmen arent really pushing to have any pressure on them. This seems to be the situation with everyone that filed I-130 during October.

Hey everyone!! I missed you gals for the past couple days. I was really sick Tuesday night so hubby had to drive me to the hospital. I had caught a real bad viral flu and also had some other gross sickness I rather not discuss. UGH. I was came home yesterday afternoon and today is the first time with a normal temp. All I got to say is those birthing beds are uncomfortable and I had to lie in one position all night so they could hear the babies heart rate. She is still far up and hasn't moved downward yet. I guess now we are ready for the real thing. The doc told me to take the rest of this week of from work to recover. I guess that means I only have to work 4 1/2 more days.

I am going to try to stay awake and catch up.

Shauna you will have to let us know how your doctor appointment goes mania? I can't wait to see pics of your little one any day.

How are all the other preggers doing?
