I prefer to be a bit more optimistic.

If I had known back when I filed that Uncle Sam was going to take at least a year to let my wife into the country, I'd probably have bought a one-way plane ticket back to Japan and filed from there. That way, we could at least be together while Uncle Sam twiddles his thumbs for however long he thinks he needs to drag this ####### out. And if that took too long, I'd probably apply for permanent residency there and turn my back on my country.

This process is just an insult. It's an insult to us law-abiding, tax-paying, working American slobs, and it's an insult to those whom we love. But it's pretty obvious that America doesn't want immigrants coming here, and they're trying to discourage them from doing so.

You could always sneak your spouse in on a turnip truck from Tijuana, I suppose. Then they'd probably be eligible for free health care, a driver's license, etc. But if you play by the rules you get the shaft. What do they need to know? They need to know that you aren't a tax cheat or a child molester, and that your spouse doesn't have AIDS or a criminal record. Send them the relevant paperwork and what should it take them to look it over? Twenty minutes, maybe? But a year? Give me a friggin' break. And the sad thing is, most of your America friends and neighbors will say "What the hell? I though when you marry a foreigner, they get right in."

My suggestion is don't even bother filing this #######. If you're American and dead-set on living in America with your spouse, move to your spouse's country for now and get some crappy job teaching English or something and do the consular filing. That way you can be together for the next year and beyond. Otherwise, you simply won't be.

You've got a point. I'm not a November filer, so perhaps I shouldn't be raining on your parade. But my advice is what it is. It's advice.

If you were in NVC already, you'd be happy, huh? Well, if you were in NVC now, it would be because you haven't been with your spouse for a year.

I'm sorry for my absence fellows..

All of us can say whatever we want to say as long as it is pleasant to everyone's ears regardless what thread it is. What Uncle wally said has two sides, that I myself saw, an advice and a sarcasm. Congrats for reaching NVC Uncle Wally. We'll get to that point too, that our spouse doesn't need to jeopardize his/her living to move to his/her spouse's country. We believe that this process will really measure how tough each couple is. I can say that based from personal experience.

yay! in another hand, grrr, we still don't have our NOA1. Been praying fro it to come in.. I guess its already floating in whoever's planet.
