I should hope not. Have you got an RFE or any inkling why it is taking so long? If it goes too much longer you might try sending a letter to your senator and see if they can push it through any quicker. In the mean time, when is your next visit with your hubby?

I'm glad you got the pressure under control! :thumbs:

That's great you're doing better Ms. Sheka!!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

You are so much more patient than me. David teases me all the time cos I even get anxious waiting for the microwave to work. lol

Maybe you will be able to see him before jan. We are thinking we might not be able to share Christmas so I'll keep the tree up until we can share it together. I dont care if we end up celebrating on Easter. I want my husband home. I wonder if any of the folks working at USCIS or NVC have been through the process. I am gussing it is just a matter of volume. Too many of us and too few of them!

Anyway I think the fact that you have no RFE probablty means they are just busy so as soon as they get to that stack you will sail on through.

The other day NVC automated phone said 2 weeks for follow up and yesterday the recording was 6 weeks I really hope they dont take the full time tho.

Feel free to vent, PM if you ever feel the need. I am really glad to hear your health is better and I am sure hubbby is also relieved. Take care. :innocent:
