I want to know how long it has been for everyone to be separated from their spouses. This whole process is rediculous of making us be separate for so long. I have been apart from my husband now for 4 months and do not know when I will go back to Morocco. How is everyone else dealing and coping?

I have my good days where I am full of hope and my bad days where I think he will never get here. I set a limit on how long I will wait before I will go to him, regardless of where he is. This waiting is really hard, but its made me stronger and we love each other more every day and appreciate each other more for it.

Married: May 28th, 2007

We have been waiting, apart, for 856 days, not that I'm counting. That's 2 years and almost 5 months since I've seen my husband. Like S and S, we each have our good and bad days. It doesn't get any easier the longer it is and we always hold out hope that one day soon we'll finally be together. But neither of us will give up, even if I have to move there.

Got married : 6-3-06

I-130 Approved : 4-18-08 - USCIS approval!!

Email From Embassy 1-09 - Still in AP (7 months)

19 DHL scans - 2-19-09

3-11-09 - POE JFK - Got stuck there due to immigration taking too long. They didn't change his visa from CR1 to IR1, have to go to immigration here to fix it.

Its people like you who keep me inspired. I just want you to know that. This waiting is definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done. I'll keep you in my prayers as I know it must be tough for you after all this time.

wow... you know i never thought i was the type of person who could have a relationship like this... but every time i get to see my husband on cam it's like the first time again... i am planning a trip now in Jan wither or not he has his visa... always nice to have something to look forward to you know???

i've started sending things to him... stuffed animal i slept with for a week and sprayed my perfume on with a love note

another time a box full of scraps of papers and phrases for him so when he opened it all my love and happiness fell around him.

his favorite american candy etc.... he loves the little surprises and he gets so excited and wants to talk to me. I love how it helps him and he loves to share it with me

my ticker says the exact date of our last kiss but it's almost 5 months now.....

It is difficult. I waited too long myself, but the end justifies the means. After several years, it is hard to remember how hard it was to wait. It is totally stupid dealing with the process, but in the end, it makes you stronger. Provided it was meant to be...

I havent touched my husband in 267 days. We also have good and bad times coping.

We talk everyday on the phone, send millions of texts. And we talk on cam 2-4 times a week.

Its rough

This week has been one of my "bad times" :(

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Thank you, S and S! I'm glad I can inspire instead of worry folks. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but it's made us so strong in our relationship. When it's meant to be.....you wait forever if you have to. Thanks for the prayers. You are in mine too. (F)(F)
