14 months and counting

[Nagishkaw 510]

"it is to wait for 14 months and still can't get anything. You can't plan your life. The waiting is driving me crazy.

How long more should we wait? Don't we deserve an answer? Because we were born on the other side of this world we have to pay for it? Are we so unlucky? Today my fiance said maybe this wasn't mean to happen... I didn't know what to say since the same thought has been going through my mind...

I have been praying so hard but it seems no amount of praying is working... I don't know where to go, what to do or what to think anymore... I've cried so much that every time I think there are no more tears but I surprise myself and cry some more... I didn't think to love someone you have to pay so dearly... "

******************

What you wrote looks like it was written by me. We've met in may 2004, got married in May 2005. Applied in July 2005... k-3 was denied,tourist visa denied before that. Still waiting and waiting and waiting. It's so frustrating!

Now after another interview this month - security checks! Since February! We've been married for 14 month! We've spent together under 2 weeks! And the "nicest" thing about all this - nobody knows sh.....!

I don't know if i want to cry or start yelling at everybody! Oh yeah! I'm a firelion, i should roar .

So, here "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"!

Would be even better to do it altogether, just to vent!

Ok, i'm out - don't want to start crying again!

But praying does help. Maybe we should just pray for everybody on VJ? Who's with me?

One more thing, if ppl pray at the same time for the same thing - it could help! So, how about setting time - like once a day at the same time? Seriously?

You can count me in. We need to touch and agree together.

Yasi,

As someone who also waited almost 14 months, it will get better. No doubt some days will be worse than others, but just have hope and know that the long wait will surely be worth it in the end.

"Saturday is fine for me too!!!!!!!! I am a firm believer in the "Power of Prayer" and will look forward to each saturday.

"It's the power of prayer that's kept me sane so far so I'm in - Saturday what time?"

anytime... with all of us praying on Saturdays, I think we cover the whole day... I pray every night for myself and all of you... Hopefully more people join our Saturday prayings...

God Bless....

Asalam Alikoum all. I am waiting on my husband, he lives in Sale' Morocco. I kind wanna know what happens on Saturdays? I pretty much work 16-17 hours a day mon-thurs, trying to hold thing together, u know? I am a little nervous. How hard is it for a man to come from Morocco? Is it harder for women, or does it honestly depend on the person your loved one interviews with? I am a little nervous even though I just mailed the I-129 on the 17th of July. Inchaa Allah everything will be smooth for us, and ana assif for those of you who have been waiting for 14 months and longer!!!!! That is truly madness!!! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU ACTUALLY CONSIDERED MOVING TO WHERE YOUR SPOUSE IS??? I can tell you, I think about it everyday, every night, every second! It kills me to see him on the webcam, lonely.... Everybody is gone! his sisters are married and here in the US... It took one of his sisters 2 months to come here, that was 5 years ago. The other sister was here in 6-7 months tops!!!! My brother in law lives in Tangier, 5 hours away... I don't know.... I cant afford any time off, I used all my sick days in April when I went to Morocco for my wedding. SMAH LIA, I am just rambling on and on................. This can be very comforting just to be able to come on here and talk to people from all ove the world that can realte to you and whatyou are going through.

Choukran, for reading.

Hope to get some responses so I can feel important, cuz right now I feel like that rain cloud in the sky, has my name on it!!!!!!!!!!!

Salam!

Our local area is lighting a candle on our porch at 10 p.m. tonight, for them to light for peace and tranquility in Lebanon for what is going on there

Hi all,

I'm so hopeless...I'm emotionally and physically exhausted... My fiance and I are originally from Iran... We met in Germany in June of 2004 and got in engaged in Jan. of 2005... I petitioned for a fiance visa in March of 2005 and our case was forwarded to NVC beginning of May 2005... since then we've been on AP...

I know and have heard many times that no one can do anything and we just have to wait... I wish whoever made these laws (or whatever they're called) knew how HARD it is to wait for 14 months and still can't get anything. You can't plan your life. The waiting is driving me crazy.

How long more should we wait? Don't we deserve an answer? Because we were born on the other side of this world we have to pay for it? Are we so unlucky? Today my fiance said maybe this wasn't mean to happen... I didn't know what to say since the same thought has been going through my mind...

I have been praying so hard but it seems no amount of praying is working... I don't know where to go, what to do or what to think anymore... I've cried so much that every time I think there are no more tears but I surprise myself and cry some more... I didn't think to love someone you have to pay so dearly...

thanks for reading.

Hi Yas,

Sorry to hear that you have been waiting for so long. My father(also from Iran) is going through the same thing. Did they tell you that your application is going for background check? Or did they just give you the blue slip? Anyways, hope you hear the good news soon.
