August Filer with Beneficiary in Morocco..

[tany1157 161]

Hi all! I am looking to connect with anyone who has a similar journey as mine. I filed in August 2009 at the VSC. My fiance is in Morocco, which I understand is a very tough consulate....he had a few friends go through it and make it, one of them barely made it.....I am excited and nervous, but for the moment, trying not to think about it since we still have months and months of waiting ahead of us...some days fly by, but other days, I don't know how I am going to wait so long to be with my baby. Any words of wisdom or comfort would be appreciated!

Well, me personally, all I can say is sit back and hold on tight! The only thing you can do it wait. About 4 years ago, I lost triplets half way through the pregnancy.... I never thought that I could hurt worse than I did then when that happened. Some might say there is no comparison... but my babies are gone, and I 'know' I cant hold them no matter how I wish it... and my fiance is here now, halfway around the world, and I cant hold him either, but he's here! And everyday we live and breath for each other, and our goal is "just getting through one more day". Being apart from him is the worse thing I have ever felt. Some days are harder than others. You should both try to keep a positive attitude, learn to laugh and roll with it. If you concentrate on the negative being not able to be together now each day will get harder than the past. So all you can do is laugh. I filed in May, and I think I have maybe 1.5 to 2 months before I find out if I received an approval or not. I'm praying sooner. The wait is certainly hard! Letting someone else decide your happiness and your fate is hard! I wish you all the luck and many blessing for you and your fiance in the future!! ((((Hugs!!!))))

Hey I filed on August 25th, 2009 @ CSC. I have not recieved a NAO1 nor has my check cashed... so nervous with others already receiving NOA1's. I am thinking the worst always.. but I came across a verse today in a small devotional.

"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for the encouragement! I just want to make some friends here, and reach out to people who understand what we are going through, because nobody around me really knows how it feels, or what the process entails...Good luck with your journey also!

I honestly don't know how to sent mine, isn't that horrible?! The guy at USPS was more interested in talking and joking with everyone else in the lobby than helping me. I was so frustrated. I was also trying to send a package to Bijad and filling out all the customs information. BLAH!

I know I specifically asked for a receipt upon delivery, which he didn’t do. And I asked for my package to Bijad to be trackable, which he didn't do either! grrr!! Lol

Did you send a check or money order? My check hasn’t even cashed, is that normal?

I sent a money order. I didn't track it, but on my NOA1, it said the payment was recieved.....so I am not sure if its normal that they haven't cashed it yet, LOL we are both new to this stuff!!

Hi,

I also sent my K-1 in August, got my NOA1 and now I'm waiting! I'd be interested in seeing how our timelines may differ. Here's to a quick and painless process for us both!

my words of advice would be get super prepared during this waiting time, it is normally very hard to get thru casa our first case was returned we married and refiled with no problems (unless you consider about 2 years waiting). You talk to them on the computer as much as you can take the time to really get to know each other in this time but foremost do not let this consume your life. You can not just stop your current life because sometimes the wait time gets very long, stay busy and make a good life for when he does get to come. Have him take this wait time and learn more english, be sure he has a good work skill to use here. Normally its not the piece of cake you both think it will be after here, it is very hard, jobs are hard to find now, just everyday life is so different to what they knew....
