im sorry im sorry but i want to be honest. im jealous of people that are getting NOA2. i almost lost my baby today. we are soooo tired of waiting and waiting. Peopl ask me everyday when she is coming and i have to say the same thing im waitng on immigration and it hurts. my fiance does not go outside because it is taking so long. when she does need to go people say to her....wow you are still here. that angers me soooooo much. it hurts to my bone. i dont know how much more time i can take. i HATE immigration i swear i wish i could just...............

i can sleep, i cant focus at work, i cant eat. im loosing it. i try to be stong when i talk with her on IM but today i broke down and cried. i tried to stop but the tears kept coming. she would tell me it is ok and i would stop, but then cry again.................im crying now. im so that i have started to cry instead. what can i do? can i move there? i will do anything i dont care. but this is killing me i swear.........i dont know what to do. im lost

I'm sorry you've had to wait so long.

It's easy for people to say they understand but it was a different story when they were waiting and complaining for a few months for approval and are now on the final steps. That's not an attack on other filers, I just think it's hard to understand what Mohammed feels when your visas are coming in within weeks and he's still waiting for a NOA2.

I can't imagine how it must feel. Try to hang in there, people get approved after 5-6 months often.

Gimmie and Jokalu.........YES YES YES you are so right!! thank you for defending me. i want to speak the truth that is all. this is a site where we can express ourselves. i usually say nice things happy things. but last night i could not. i have to vent. i had to lie to my fiance and tell her i would stop so she would not worry and go to sleep. so for me to do this and go to sleep i needed to vent. and vent is what i did. and if in doing so i said the truth...........then so be it!!!! inshallah tomorrow i will have another nice thing to say.

Well, the embassy had finally reopened on Monday after being closed for the holidays for two weeks and today they updated the interview schedule on their site. THE interview will take place on March 5th. Even though it's still weeks away, we both feel a bit relieved. No more guessing about the interview date!

To all of you still waiting for NOA2: hang in there, it will come! I know exactly how it feels. Even though our timeline is relatively normal, we've been down ourselves quite a few times and it's a very painful process. I think almost everybody here can relate. Both my fiancee and I have to deal with people's questions all the time, although that's the least of my concerns. Unless you've been through it yourself, you will never understand how it feels. I don't really care too much for people who think it's not a big deal, but, honestly, I wouldn't wish something like this to anybody, even the most ignorant of them. Anyway, I think that getting touches is good even though there are no direct results yet. That should at least tell you that your case is not lost and forgotten (now, that would truly suck!) and they are most probably just running some additional checks on you. And it's good that you got your senators involved, it should help to speed up the process.

mohammedwalks....you would think with all those touches they would have approved your case by now.

Hope that contacting your Senator does the trick.

Fingers crossed for all of you who haven't gotten approved yet.
