you're lucky you got to have your fiance for that long ; but the longer he had stayed with the harder it is when he leaves, so toughen up a little my fiance was only here for only 2 weeks inclusive of travel times and it felt like nothing ive ever felt before; i couldnt understand how it was  even after a week or a month i still would end up crying so much because i missed our QTs.. 

hopefully you two wont have to wait for so long to be together again  

this whole waiting and the beautiful outcome is the only thing that keeps me going; even though it's hard, at least we have something to look forward to plus it just proves how great our love is for our SOs..& it definitely makes our love stories so much more unique than others 

Yeah, it will be pretty hard when he leaves. It still feels like he's going to be here tomorrow. Not sure what I will do with myself on the way back from the airport. Blah. I do need to learn how to toughen up, it's difficult!

I'm glad I can talk to you guys on the forum though, it's amazing how much it helps.

this is ridiculous. While those people at VSC where taking holidays in December, they forgot to work on many December approvals. All this process is just stupid. I am really sick and tired of waiting for the uncertainty of the fact happening. One thing is to wait for Friday knowing that today is monday, and then tuesday and wednesday, and thursday and then finally friday. But with this you do not know when your friday will come.

They should pay us for all this wait, instead this costs also like 2k $...

I'm just going to say about the waiting.....I know it's hard, I know it's terrible but......we have been waiting this long, what's another month? Anything worth having is worth waiting for and working hard for. *ducks and runs FAST as everyone throws stuff at me!

I would agree with the wait being ridiculous... but I would disagree with the uncertainty part of your statement... for us that are in real relations, I do not feel there is any uncertainty... (although, technically, there is some)... But this is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it... So, personally, I just try to accept it... prepare and know that for me, it is well worth the wait.

Missy, nobody is going to throw stuff at you And if they do, Stan will protect you! right Stan?

You always make me laugh! I am leaving for Denmark in 6 days and I am so excited I cannot sit still! I cannot express how excited I am to be seeing Lars again , not in words that make sense. Maggie says that I sound like some kid trying to describe the roller coaster, a lot of excited chatter that makes no sense!

When I get back I start French lessons to prepare for the move to the Congo....not really excited about the French lessons though....more nervous about that.

Welcome back, Carl. I'm happy you got to see Jessica, but realize the "goodbyes" are tough.

Missing, you sound like a teenager (in a good way).

Richard sums it up by saying the wait is worth it. Hard for me to keep that in mind, but all too true.

One of the best things about getting the NOA2 will be putting USCIS behind us for now. NVC and most embassies seem to be much more forthcoming with information.

I have my pom-poms out and the miniskirt is close by. We'll get there!

Missy, I am very very VERY happy for you (and Lars).... look at it like this... french lessons are the fee to see Lars... CHEAP price to pay

[missmissy 38]

Merci beau coup, Richard. Comme talle vouz? No?? Oui??

I'm exhausted by that effort - I'm going to do what I do best, sell some houses!!

Carl, I am so happy that you get to see Jessica as much as you do!

[Jessica Carl 1]

Missy good luck with the french lessons..

We should be getting approved soon .,.,,

It'll be here before we know it.

I too am going to see my SO the first week in August.

Can't wait.

I'm hoping that I'll have to cancel the trip b/c we'll get the NOA2 in the mail before I leave and then we can just meet up in Juarez

Well, this is disappointing...

When I got home from work yesterday, I had a letter from my congressman waiting for me. I eagerly opened it, only to find the following inside:

On your behalf, my office contacted the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and asked them to please provide us with a status update on your case. We also requested that they keep us informed of progress made in this matter. My office received a response to our inquiry notifying us that USCIS records indicate that your I-129F petition was received on March 27, 2009. The USCIS is currently processing I-129F petitions received on or before November 28, 2008.

The USCIS noted that it is impossible to predict how long it will take before the processing is complete. They will contact you directly as soon as the process is complete or if they require additional information.

I understand that this must be very difficult for you, however the USCIS must follow all U.S. Laws and regulations related to adjudicating visa and immigration cases. Although this information is not as complete as we had wanted, I hope you will find this information helpful.

So in response to a Congressman's inquiry, USCIS provides no information beyond what could be found on their website. CRIS indicates no "touches," so most likely they didn't even bother pulling the file to check the status. INFURIATING!

well as per the last post: "The USCIS noted that it is impossible to predict how long it will take before the processing is complete. They will contact you directly as soon as the process is complete or if they require additional information."

The USCIS is giving uncertainties. There are people that do not have that much money to be able to go through this uncertainty. Somebody would say: No money no honey. So then it means you can only love if you have money?

Moreover, because we are they real thing this wait is ridiculous. I have not committed any crimes and I have to wait like an inmate to see my loved one. The freedom to see my loved one.

There are people waiting for over a year in here. This out of the world. This thing should take at most 2 months. I would just make it more difficult, requesting more paperwork right from the start. Maybe even increasing the fees, but all this, in exchange for speed. I am sure that at least 20%(if not more) of the people applying are fake relationships. If they had stronger rules from the beginning, then it would reduce the applications from fake relationships.

I am not giving up on her, as if this stupid thing does not work, she can just come here. The issue is that there are material things that need to be taking care of,like new rent/own house, cars, jobs, marriage(the material part), etc etc etc. With this uncertainty is very difficult to plan anything.

I am reading November 28th, everywhere. It seems that they are really working from that date, and that our wait will be much longer than expected.

This is our lives they are playing with. So for me this wait is ridiculous, unnecessary, and way out of line.
