It is such a difficult thing to go through. I am sure she works ferfervently to get some info on her case. Unfortunately it takes a very long time to even hear from USCIS. In the mean time one is left in the dark and the roller coaster ride of emotions is still there right up to the moment your SO arrives in the states.

I am so glad someone asked about her. This is a lonely journey and one feels so isolated. The fact is one is NOT jealous of another's good news, it is the mere fact that we were picked out and are the scapegoats of our government gone bad in their ideology of what constitutes a "REAL" relationship.

Being Americans it is so difficult to believe we have no RIGHT to be with the one we love if they are from another country, instead it is a PRIVILEGE. We are the most free country in the world yet we have found one freedom we do not have...

Ok, this post is for Kiyah. (F)

Hugs :)

I understand completely if she doesn't have the time or inclination to hang around here much. She has a lot on her plate, and she is focusing her attention and energies on what is most important.

Thoughts and prayers with you, Kiya. We miss you !

Wasalaam Alaikum.

Shukran everyone for thinking of me and keeping me in your prayers, I really appreciate it. Work has been taking up most of my time lately, my remaining time is spent on my case and sending endless communications to my senator and the CSC, contacting DOS to get any information on my case.

Chi...you are so right, it is an isolating process, we both go through really bad days where we are so lonely and depressed. The immigration system in this country is so broken, it is sad what we have to go through to be with the ones we love. We just want this to be over so we can live normal lives together...that is all we want.

It has been absolute hell dealing with the K1 petition return since CSC received it from DOS...CSC is not giving many the opportunity to rebut like other service centers are. Without going into a lot of detail about our case, we are getting married in November, so we have a lot of planning ahead of us in the coming months. We will spend 5 wonderful weeks together in November/December. :D I will come back and plan the K3/CR1 filing with a good immigration attorney insh'allah.

Even though I don't post here much, I do peek in from time to time...I try to catch anyone who may need help with a returned family visa petition. I am so happy for everyone getting through Morocco successfully and pray for everyone with upcoming interviews.

~ Returns & Refusals...What They Don't Tell You ~

DISCLAIMER: I am not an attorney, all information provided is from years of research and personal experiences of those affected by returned visa petitions/applications. If this is happening to you, my personal advice is to research the facts, hire a good immigration lawyer who can demonstrate they specialize in returned/denied visa petitions and applications.

~ Faith, Patience, Perseverance ~
