What a touching story. Good luck to you, and I hope you can be reunited with your family quickly. And most importantly -- best wishes for your young son and hopefully he stays healthy and happy and stays far away from hospitals :thumbs:

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for the replies. They are not making it easy for us are they, hehe. I see that most of you is near the end of the process. In a way this website makes my wife and I feel a bit beter because it shows that we are not alone, there is thousands of married couples out there waiting just like us to be reunited. Our son is in good health, changing him to new milk but its making him sick.

BL2B - See you know afrikaans...Dankie

PS...Do we have to complete a I-129F and send it?? We sended the I-130 and the G-325 as per the filling procedure.

So glad to hear your son is in good health now.

VJ sure makes a difference knowing you're not alone in the process. Lets hope yours is a speedy one so that you, your wife and son can finally be together.

I'm glad to hear that your son is doing well. One of my sons had health problems too when he was born, had emergency surgery and then he stayed in the NICU, and later had problems with the milk as well. Just to let you know, he's a big tough 4 year old and hasn't had any problems the past 3 years, other than driving me crazy. :)

Good luck with the visa - I'm sure everything will go fine. I guess we all just have to suffer for a while to be happy forever.

Hi. Thanks. It wasnt nice to sit on this side not being able to go see him in the hospital, be present with the birth, see his first steps, first words ect. I would think that we would fall under a different group because we have a young baby. But no. Im sorry to hear about your son but glad to hear that he is doing ok now. Im sure our son would also grow up strong and healthy.

So bly on to hoor dit gaan beter met julle kleinding. Ek is ook van Suid-Afrika en is reeds 10 jaar in Amerika. My man is Amerikaner en ons woon in Texas. Wanneer kan jy oorkom? As julle getroud is behoort dit mos nie 'n probleem to wees nie? Meer burokrasie as iets anders...

Best wense vir julle!
