mrsemcee I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same with my spouse. I don't think they know what we go through each day we wait. Until we make that phone call, our hope are pinned so high. You try to remain positive, but to do so everyday, it's extremely difficult. No one else around you except your spouse will understand the paint and difficulty, I know I go through the same with my family. They really want me to get there, but don't talk about it as it's upsets me.

Waiting for someone else to do the paper works is very difficult. I share your pain and anxiety. But think of it this way when you do get there, it will be so special, it will be the single most perfect moment when you see your spouse at the airport, knowing, you'll never have to leave again. Then all this will;l be a distant memory. You'll be around the dinning table, enjoying with your spouse.

Best of Luck. Best wishes. Thank you.

Don't worry about it. In my relationship my wife is the claim one; I'm the rusher. It'll will be wonderful. I'm already planning Valentine's Day! I'm thinking of a surprise trip to Nova Scotia. She was talking about it couple week ago. Valentines day falls on a Sunday, so thinking of going on Friday; coming aback on Monday. I have to think like this, otherwise it will just be depressing.

Best of Luck. Best wishes. Thank you.

Lily, I think everyone here knows what you're going through. I think when we filed the I-130, we were all braced for the 5 months. You have to, or you'll go crazy. Now, we are at the NVC-the final place before the interview. It is just too hard to wait. I think the emotions are worsened because at the NVC, you do have some control. There are shortcuts here and there to make you sail through the NVC faster. So, there is added pressure.

I've decided today that I need to step back from all of this. It's making me crazy. All of my worrying isn't going to get me an earlier interview at this point. It's going to happen when it happens. At least I know our stuff is there.

Try to hang in there. I know it's hard.
