Hi Everyone,

I have wrote here a couple times concerning my husband's HIV waiver process which started in Nov. '08. I am so happy to report that his wavier was approved August 28, 2009 and today his visa was approved!!! After the waiver approval he had to submit new medicals and police report and the visa has been approved. I know this situation may not effect anyone currently, but I am putting this "journey" here on VJ for those who might face this ordeal in their future.

I want to say, our struggles are not over by far. Now that he is coming to the states we have to get his medical exam completed within 30 days of entry into the states. Only then will we know where his HIV status truly is at. He appears very healthy, has had the normal colds and some bouts with malaria here and there but he always gets back to good health in quick time---so we hope that's a good sign.

One last thing, I am a visa journey member under a different name, but out of respect for my husband's situation I used this anonymous name to address this issue here on VJ. The stigma of HIV/AIDS in his country is harsh and unforgiving. I am so glad that I was able to utilize this website for support and thank all for their input. And again, most importantly I hope this information I've given along the way is of use to someone else in the future...although I pray no one has to live through this experience...words can't describe the anguish and pain we have endured waiting for our government to approve the medical waiver. Hopefully all that will be behind us soon with the lifting of the HIV entry ban!!! AMEN!!

Congratulations on your approval. :thumbs::star::thumbs::star:

The HIV stigma is everywhere, not only in Nigeria, and what we forget is that we may not be infected but we are affected by it. Its in the society. Im happy for you two , and my earnest prayer :star: is happy marriage _ Full of love and acceptance , with ARV's your husband can manage it.

In your Strength, I can crush an army; with my God , I can scale any wall .....2nd Samuel 22:30

Congratulations!

A word for encouragement - a good friend of mine was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS 2 years ago when he was hospitalized with pneumonia. They didn't expect him to survive - his viral load was very high. He did survive, however - and recovered - and has been receiving treatment ever since. For several months now his viral load has been undetectable. I hope your husband receives similar good news.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

i remeber you posting your story. Its great to hear that you guys were approved.. congrats and have a wonderful life together :)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
