So it took you awhile from the interview until the visa was issued

Stay busy and take it one day at a time is the best advice.

Hey, keep yourself busy and don't worry. You are right, these emotions cannot be controlled but you have to be strong and try.

Do things to take your mind off of it. The process takes time and the approval will come when it does.

Don't worry. Keep calm and please don't cry. Read a book, exercise, cook, watch a movie, talk on the phone with friends.... Just chill.... :)

i'm getting very depressed and bored of being alone , we didn,t get separated for more than 2 months every time now , we are going to be away or almost 3 months ,10 days,6 hours and few minutes. i hate this our I130 WAS RECIEVED NOV.13TH I129F on Nov25TH ,

when can they be approved ? they are in California center

Don't worry yourself sick, I did that I worried all day long, checked the USCIS website often, called them all the time, to me seeing my fiancee every two months (I traveled there every two months) was an eternity; I sought the help of a therapist and also went through an RFE which almost killed me, I walked around with a feeling of pressure on my chest all day there were times I thought I'd die, my fiancee, now my wife, helped me by being the positive one and by telling me she would wait no matter what.

In the end I wish I had been more patient. Take heart, if you have done everything legally and right and your relationship is legitimate you'll get your loved one here in the end.

thanks alot for your kind reply , i have always been afraid of the unknown , probably because they have what i want and i have no power to force them . i just need to be close forever , same like anyone here

You should be happy! If you're in CSC then you'll probably be approved very very soon!

Look at us in VSC...waiting 9+ months! Be happy! Your time will come!

CSC is 6 months waiting period, and can go longer. Hes only been waiting 2 months, he has a wait ahead of him.

to the OP, have you tried taking up a hobby, especially one that is time consuming? This can make the time go by.

Hang in there Masry. Hope you get your approval soon.

This waiting game is really the most stressful part.

I truly understand your pain as well. It has been 5 months and 2 weeks since I saw my husband last... We were waiting every day when we would hear anything about my interview date, which took A LONG time to be scheduled...

Days go by and the most you can do is to chat your husband via skype and see him. The whole process is so depressing and tiresome, but if you want to be happy one day and not to think that you will be seperated again, it is worth of that ......

i was like you OP, really depress to be separated from hubby after wedding rather than starting our lives together in our home like regular couples do. Trip together in between the wait cushion it a bit so did another visit here, but heyyy both of us get more depressed after goodbyes.. ALtho, after we found VJ and saw others' timelines and how they are all keeping strong, i can say that i complain less now. Still some, but wayyyy lesser.. After all, we did get to meet up in between waits (although burning a hole in the pocket). Keep strong :thumbs: Hope that your visa journey be smooth and over soon..
