August 2008 Filers

[deneter 0]

Oh I know exactly how you feel, I'm just wishing my life away because all I care about is this damn visa. My fiance thinks it'll be approved any day now but I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that we'll be waiting a very long time. I can hardly look at the other threads on this because others are getting approved and it makes me feel sick, I'm so happy for them but it's just a reminder that we are NOT approved. Not even getting any touches, at least that would be something. I'm on the verge of tears all the time and because the rest of the world is getting on with their lives, you end up feeling very isolated. All my friends are married and having babies - I feel like Bridget Jones!

At least Bridget Jones didn´t have to wait for a visa and millions of single women could identify with her (haha)- nobody seems to understand me or us.

I just graduated and so did my friends. Everybody is starting new jobs and every weekend I am helping people to move into nice new appartments. Some with their boyfriends/husbands. I sold all my stuff and live with my parents. What is ok for some time but definetly not an option for much longer.

I hate to say it: My life sucks.

We are having an engagement party in Germany on march 7th. I don´t know what to celebrate right now. Just hoping I´ll be in a good mood then. At least my guy will be with me then. That is something to look forward to.

I appologize to everyone in this thread for having to read my depressing thoughts. I just never felt as hopeless as today.

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!

I'm going to be flying out and trying to visit this wednesday. Wish me luck guys!

Well done on getting it sorted Neil and good luck to you! Hope your family is doing well

I'm going to be flying on Wednesday, too. But to Nicaragua for our interview on Friday!!!

I am so beyond nervous. I dont think I have ever been excited/scared/nervous/freaking out in my life! but then again, I've never had to personally petition the US government for permission to marry my love either...so i guess it merits all of these emotions and more!

Good luck for your interview!!! It will be good that you are going to the interview together you will be able to support each other through it

Send us back good news

i feel the same way sometimes deneter, be careful u dont destroy who you are in the process, keep busy, do fun things and try and be positive.. its hard and its prob the hardest thing you will have to endure.. but its all worth it..

We will have our interview 2/23!!!!!! :dance:

I will leave on 2/20!!!!!!! :dance:

Good luck to everyone!!!

Goodluck to Yader&Sarah, dispozo, and anyone else for the interviews!

Mara, Dani, you are always in my prayers...you will be getting your NOA2 soon, don't lose hope!

deneter, Caroline L: I know what you mean, up until I got my NOA2, horrible thoughts of year long security checks and whatnot almost drove me crazy, but remember that everyday is a new day, with new possibilities, no two days are the same, so you never know maybe you get your NOA2 tomorrow...the best advice I can give you is to keep busy, keep doing the things you like to do and what makes you happy, because the last thing you want is to make yourself ill with worry. I did some crazy things to keep me busy, just for the sake of passing time, but it was really worth it, you have to get your mind off of the waiting game somehow. You are also in my prayers, keep strong!

February birthdays all around, I see. Today, or what's left of it, is mine!

Good luck to everyone still waiting. We can all relate to how difficult this is, certainly some more than others, but our time to be with our loved ones forever WILL come!

I will be able to experience my 31st bday hehehe, today I was lucky to be alive. We had snow early morning here in Seattle when I was driving by a woody area I hit black ice and my car was drifting left and right as I avoided an incoming vehicle I somehow ended up in a ditch. I didnt know how long I been knocked out, got out of the car and miracolously I did not hit anything and I'm alive! woooh! I guess its not my time yet!

I just submitted my I-129F petition to Vermont yesterday via DHL. Waiting for proof of receipt today. I thought I'd get the conversation started for those joining me on the journey this month. I look forward to sharing stories along the way.

My fiance is Indian and resides in Bangalore. We got engaged on 7/30/08 and I just returned from India on Monday. This site has been really fantastic in helping me feel confident that I can do this process on my own and with the great assistance and advice of the community here.

Best of luck to all filing in August. Here we go and may it be a smooth ride for all.
