Wish that would have been the case for us. Still waiting here after a few touches. I am an emotional roller coaster now. I just wish they would give us our approval, RFE, or whatever so we can move on to the next stage.

You will know very soon, m'dear. It's the best feeling ever. The best part is how fast it moves through the NVC! While you're waiting for your NOA2 in the mail, your petition is already on its way to the east coast.

I just got off the phone with NVC and my case is officially on its way to London, this is the best Thanksgiving ever...until next year when Tom is here with me.

Congratulations to everyone who got their NOA2.

I filled the petition myself, got NOA1 on the beginning of July and NOA2 on Nov 22nd. Was checking the USCIS website 5 times a day, praying to see the approval as soon as possible. Officially proposed to my one of the kind, the best and most beautiful girl in the whole world on my next trip to her country (which was also the place I was born and grew up before moving to states) and she said YES. It was a most happy day in my life. I could only imagine something else would make me more happy, perhaps the most wonderful thing could happen is to have a child together, our child, our love together as soon as possible.

Sounds like a perfect beginning for a happy new us.

I figured out something is not right about a month ago. I bought a ticket to go and see her on the very first available plane and when I got there I discovered she betrayed me, cheating with her old boyfriend, having some nice vacation god knows where. while I was waiting for her and worried so much that I literally have been sick to my stomach. I've met her in person and she never told me the truth. It was you sick imagination, said she, it just we are long time apart and things are hard for us both. And them bunch of lies, Good buy kiss at the airport. I going back thinking it just my imagination. It is simply impossible for he to do something horrible like that to me. I went to plane...nice 17 hour flight with 2 layovers...one on one with my creepy thoughts inside of my head.

On the next day when I was back I've got a phone call. No more sweet voice of her. Just I don't need all that, best thing for you is to forget me. I'm not in love with you and I never was.

It is done.

I waited for that approval so bad...I could not even sleep. I could not wait until I could wake up with my sweet, caring, amazing, beautiful girl every morning.

And now it is all over.

I got my NOA, which I was waiting for so long. and now it is like a stupid cruel joke.

I'm completely smashed and devastated. Lost all the reasons and believes

I feel like i got lost and what do I do next. I don't remember when I felt so bad before in my life.Worst part is was not just a random girl I've met on some party. I've seen plenty, but this one...It was a love from the first sight for me..

And in the end...

Gotta move, live, move forward...

I don't get upset for some minor everyday life BS. But this what happened. I still cannot accept it in my heart that we never going to be together like before. It just gets unbearable sometimes, and yet I have to go to job everyday to maintain my business. Smile to customers and make a happy face.

Why I'm writing all this here...Maybe it is easier to send it to nowhere instead of holding my pain deep inside of me every second I breathe now. No point really, sorry for the long post...

PS. And yes, good luck to all of you. I envy all of you who went through this lifelong process and soon be happy together with each other. I envy but whit the good envy....

Oh no, I'm so sorry. That's awful. It's terrible what she did to you. Hopefully you are able to take some time to heal. I know you probably don't want to look on the bright side right now, but at least you found out relatively early in the process. It would have made your life so much worse if you had already gotten married.

Again, I'm really sad to hear this and very sorry.

Sorry to hear that, it must been really hard for you, but on the other side, at least you have found out that she was never in love with you from the start, must have been worst for you if you'll marry her cos there's no love on her part. Time will help you move on, keep on praying, you'll get through. :)

I won't even say it worked out for the best or look on the bright side or anything like that because when you are hurting, sometimes those words just do no good. I used to hate it when I was going through something and people told me that. Most couldn't even relate because their lives were fine. Bottomline, you have the RIGHT to feel the way you do. Wasting time and money and emotions to find out the love you gave really was not reciprocated back. Who knows maybe she thought she loved you at the time but this process takes its toll on people and can change them and change their minds. Just take it a day at a time and heal at your own pace. We all respond differently to pain and don't feel guilty if you don't bounce back as fast as some want you to. Keep moving forward and doing what you do. When the time is right, you will get better. Long distance hugs! Stay strong.

Thank you all!

I was waching this thread for a long time now. I understand how everyone feels when you wait and wait and wait and nothing happens in months. I was in the same boat, counting days... And only now I understand that all that waiting is actually not so bad, because you have something to wait for... And it WILL happen, sooner or later but it has to. And for me....well.....It is not like I care about something right now, but, perhaps, I need an advice, what to do next. Sooner or later the petition will reach the embassy. Should I do nothing, or should I write them some kind of leter explaining that we do not wish to pursue the Visa?

You can let USCIS know that you want to withdraw the petition and a short explanation of why.

Sorry for your pain, I understand. Been through it....believe me I thank God it didn't go any further because it would have been disastrous for my life knowing what I know now. There is someone better for you. Believe that.
