So I finally received all the paperwork from my husband that I have been waiting on forever, I received it on Saturday and that same day I ended up in hospital. Still in hospital, will be there for 2-3 more days at least. I have a really bad tooth infection, my face is so swollen, ya'll should see how retarded I look right now :) Doctor will come today to let me know if I need surgery or if they'll continue waiting for the antibiotics to do their job...

I have been postponing all dental work that I so desperately need, because I needed to take care of so many other things and costs first. And now that I got a new job my insurance will kick in on 1.June and look... only a couple of days before that I end up being hospitalized without medical and dental insurance. Lovely, just lovely...

So I am stuck here worrying about costs AND I cannot do anything about the paperwork that's just sitting at home right now waiting to be sent to NVC, file tax...

I am about to lose it, so I came here to vent... Hope the rest of you are all doing alright

How are you? I hope you wouldn't have to do surgery.

I was going through my monthly phone activity to prepare proofs of ongoing relationship....and, I found out that ever since I got married, I have been spending (average) 1 hr and 36 mins every day talking to my wife on the phone.

Its been 4 months, and I am tired of being away from her....very much like all of you guys.

May we all be united with our loved ones soon.

I know what you mean! We have an internet phone (Vonage) but when he goes to Manila to take care of immigration stuff, calling him is just so expensive. I just got my phone bill and it's over $200. :wacko:

I feel your pain. My monthly bill is always $100-$200. Plus, this month I called him from my cell as well while we were taking care of the documents, I don't even wanna imagine my next cell bill :)

The internet service providers in Bosnia suck, he changed services so many times in order for us to use skype or msn video confrence features, but connection is always so weak that it works for only couple minutes and it gets annoying to keep reconnecting. So for 6 years now I have been calling him pretty much every day, we could have saved for a house by now with the money I spent on phone calls :)

you're so sweet to ask, still postponing the surgery. I was wrong my insurance starts in july not june, so we are gonna go ahead and give a chance to antibiotics to do their magic.

Getting discharged today, so at least I can take care of the visa stuff now :))

Hi Everyone...

I called the AVR this morning while Sofia was asleep (rare moment) and it said that our case was completed on May 22. Finally! :star:

For the rest of you who have their cases completed, how long did it take for you to receive the e-mail from NVC with the interview date? I think I read that they do not schedule interviews until the second week of the month, which is annoying. I plan on calling them anyway just to be sure.

My mom went back to work, so it is just me and Sofia now. It is definitely a huge adjustment, but I think we are doing okay. It would be nice to have my husband here for the extra support! (and I totally know what you all mean about the phone bills... we spend about $50 a week and we Skype pretty much every day)

Hope you are all doing well (L)

Our case was completed on Wednesday (May 6) and the interview date was assigned two days later (Friday, May 8). We received the appointment letter the following Monday (May 11).

I think they will start assigning interview again during the first week of June. So be ready. Goodluck! :star:
