I think they must have had some technical issues. It bounced around there for a while. This morning, I got a servlet error. Now that it's back up, it's saying 5 months again. I think they probably just had the wrong table row in there or something.

Sure did cause a ruckus with my heart - I think it stopped when I read November 2003. :blush:

I will miss him but it will be ok.... :)

Oh well, this is our life. I just hope I could have a 10 yr tourist visa so i could visit him. I really miss him a lot and want to be with him. He always say "it will be alright soon" and " we will be together soon"...

Thank you everyone....

I feel really flat today but it'll be ok. I find myself worrying over possible rfes and other silly things, but I guess if I get an rfe they're looking at it at least huh? I'm just a worry wart and my hubby usually settles me down.

I know it's gonna be ok because we have everything, well cept my immunization records, which I'm sorting next week!

Ahhhhhh hurry up noa2

Donna,

I'm sorry. I know how horrible it feels - my husband was coming here for 3 months at a time. The pain of the impending separation always looms like a black cloud throughout the visit. You try to shove it to the back of your mind, but it is always there, nagging. It's like the moment they arrive, you start counting the days until they are gone.

Since we have filed the I-130, my husband can't come and visit anymore. And since he bounced back & forth so much, he can't find steady work (he's a tradesman, and jobs were sparse anyhow) in Ireland. Nobody wants to hire somebody who's there one minute & gone the next. It's put him (and us) in a real financial bind. I'm lucky to have a full-time job, but it doesn't pay enough - just barely enough to meet my bills.

I understand why there are rules. I've always abided by them - not even a parking ticket. But now that the "rules" are wedged between me and the man I love, I suddenly feel less "free" than I've been led to believe.

I'm now 42 years old. Childless with fertility issues. Having a husband who lives an ocean away certainly doesn't improve our odds of conceiving. And spending all of our money on just staying alive doesn't leave anything for starting a family via modern means.

In the meantime, we wait, eh? I have no motivation for anything. At one time, I was vibrant, had lots of friends, and was optimistic. These days, it feels like I'm stuck in a tar pit. I managed to run the sweeper in the living room today and had to laugh because my winter boots are still sitting there! It's 90 degrees outside. Time just stands still....until my husband is with me, I feel like I have no life. I feel like there's no reason for getting up and improving my home, or my world. It's a fight I have to fight everyday - to find the meaning in my life, when it seems like my "meaning" is an ocean away.

Like you, I just want to be together and start building a life.

We all just have to have faith and support each other.

Julie I cried reading this as I feel the same.... Andy does too.

He said to me last night he feels like he should be the strong one but he just can't bear to be apart from me....

I feel it too.

I'm trying do hard though to make myself busy. Luckily I start a new job on Monday... Though I feel bad for not telling them i'll be leaving for the USA as soon as i can go!

We all need to support each other here because honestly you guys are all I have besides hubby.

It's sad but I'm here with a family who thinks I'm being erratic and abandoning my family, and why?? Because they constantly put me down and I have never felt so at home with Andy...

So I just wait, and hope, for my noa2!!!!!

Donna,

I completely understand. When you know, you KNOW. It's like you've searched for "home" your entire life --that place where you belong - that sense that you have found the one thing that completes you. I've come to realize that "home" isn't a place.....I'm sure you have too.

So you got yourself a Kentucky wild man, eh? LOL. I must say, the two of you make a wonderful couple in the pictures. I think you'll love it here.

I live in Pennsylvania - settled by the Irish (my own ancestors). People here can't understand why it takes so long for my husband to immigrate. I always respond that I think the US met its Irish quota back in the 1800s. Humor (or a sad attempt) is all that keeps me going. Which is precisely why I love my husband - his sense of humor is beyond measure.

Try to keep busy. I know that's hard, and truly, I should take my own advice!

Julie! My hubby is of Irish blood too! He was adopted and is certainly a wild Kentuckian hehe but his real birth parents were Irish Americans, hence the orange beard hehe

Umm he lives closer to the border of TN and I was lucky enough to stay in the USA for 3 months last year.

I loooove it there but you're so tight about home being with him rather than our global location.... Though I do love America so much! And it seems they love me too thankfully!

It seems you and I have things in common :)
