I get that all the time. People just assume my husband should have been able to just come back with me. Imagine their shock when I tell them many of us wait a year or two before our spouses can come. I started his process as immigration and had to get that approved first before he was eligable for refugee so I had to go through both except the embassy part. I stopped the NVC portion after paying the fees and never sent the application because his refugee process started.

My favorite was "When is he coming and what is he waiting for?" Like he's just jacking around in Jordan with his head up his behind, unable to get himself together enough to get on a plane and come. I mean, for real. Then in the next breath half the time they accuse them of greencard fraud lol. Like "oh, he's not coming, but he's using you for a greencard to the country he's not coming to! haha!" Don't worry-- one day it will be past and you can look back at it, cringe, and be thankful THAT is over :)

lol...i cant tell you how many times i heard that famous line.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Thanks everyone for your comments and support. This process is so nerve wracking and there is no sense to it. He did his final interview two months ago along with most of the other people there. At that interview they were told to come back in two months for this appointment to find out if they were approved or not. Why make all those people come back on this day if they aren't fully approved? That and the women who got their flights booked still had to come today and get the letter even though they are already moving on in the process.

Sounds good but I know how you feel with the waiting. I also get that same question all the time and all I can explain is, "The visa process is long and complicated." I don't go into details.

The problem is the details take too long to explain and most people don't have the patience to listen anyway. You know when my husband started the refugee process my state rep had no clue about the process so I was sending her emails to update her so she could help others later on. There are no sources at all to understand the process and state reps can do nothing to help.

I am sorry. Details can be bothersome especially with any visa process. But it's good work you're doing for the state rep coz it may be helping others. Still having hope for you both to be reunited.

Thanks. I'll keep you guys updated. Who knows if you ever meet someone in the same situation who has no clue about the process.
