I thought i might come home to good news. Sadly mistaken

I would call today. If they say to call back in 180 days, I'd call tomorrow again. If, tomorrow, they would say to call back in another 180 days, I would ask them why isn't it to call back in 179 days since a day before they said that. I think it'd make them speechless..........

Ask them if their refrigerator is running. When he says "yes"... say to them "Well,,, you better go catch it! I just saw it running down the street with my petition file!" Ha ha,,, Awww,,, i know,,,, LAME!!

Goooooooooooood evening from Miami my dearest VJ family

Just got caught up with the day's posts- lots to read!

It's obvious that a lot of us, especially the ones who have been waiting 6+ months, and even more-so the ones with health/kids-related issues, are getting more and more dismayed as the hours pass throughout the day.

All of you who have posted on this thread have helped me cope with this painful partition from my better half. To some, hearing of other peoples' approvals has induced anxiety amongst other emotions, and I guess a very small part of me feels the same way, wondering "why not me" every time someone gets approved- but that's just human nature. I try to dismiss this feeling as rapidly as it enters my thoughts- if one doesn't do so then this thought simply self-perpetuates and spirals the individual into a darkness called depression.

As a couple of you have said before, one of the most important things we need to do is to keep our eyes on the prize! We all have used this forum to share information (irrespective of whether the info was helpful or not- we SHARE), to help console one another, and to make each other laugh when we need it the most. Point is, I'm happy I found this forum, and just like so many of you have voiced, I'm happy for the folks who've been approved

Each day that passes brings us one day closer to being reunited with our loved ones. For those of you with health issues and kids in the mix, STAY STRONG!

Very well said! I completely agree!

This comes after Officer Garza's email yesterday.

So interesting. I NEVER get emails like that. Just the stock form letter.

OK so no approvals so far but we have a couple of hours till midnight eastern time so lets rock and roll!!!

[nab 74]

Let's face it. It's our spouses who are really to blame. I'm glad I decided to be born here.

yet another reason to hate MIL (deleted all the hate filled description of HOW MUCH i hate her ... shocking even for me)

Celldoc - you don't sound happy. Come on now? Be happy

BTW, you should have written back and say thank you and that you wanted to take her out for drinks to celebrate this happy moment and that your spouse won't know anything. It'd be your secret between the two of you..........

I agree, it IS interesting- I don't think I can make anything of this email though. Except maybe that Officer Carole's got style

lol in case anyone is worried I may have contributed to somehow clogging the TSC approval line, let me say this- i DID NOT "flood" any TSC email addresses with email inquiries

I've only sent one email, which was this past Sunday night.

Cheers

Saylin - why are you giving me such big eye. Come on. Celldoc wouldn't probably wait that long to get a drink than the I-130 approved. Live a little guys. I am tired of this. My spouse has given up already entirely. I'd truly would not be surprised if this takes another year, two, three, whatever. Who cares now......... Who cares about us........

You're SO right- that post was way too serious- I should be like- "hey, how YOU doin'?"
