Honestly, I want everyone on this forum to get through this process as quickly as possible and be with your loved ones. But most of all right now, I want Val and Gary to get out of the black hole they are in. I think it's ridiculous! You both are keeping your composure on this forum and being so encouraging to others. I'll be really praying for you guys this week I hope you hear good news soon.

When is enough is just enough??? Geez!

I'm also so disturbed at these RFE's? Like all these months have passed and they are only now finding fault? I really would love to be a fly on the wall in both CSC and TSC's office.

If this wasn't for love a lot of us would of threw in the towel by now. It's emotionally, mentally, and even physically for some, just draining!

Yet, I still remain hopeful that good news will be received come this week's end for some of us, wish it could be all of us.

Thanks! good.gif You know, we are all in this together, and it really seems to be the luck of the draw. It's almost like a lottery. What can any of us do, I mean really? This is almost barbaric the way we have all been treated. Prisoners don't have to endure the psychological torture that we have ALL had to put up with.

On Nov 26th, we sent medical documents to TSC, and were approved for expedite. We have a ton of evidence ready to go to the NVC as soon as we get our case number, I am almost sure they will ship us straight through to London....but what can we do? We're approved, we were promised shipment to NVC last Wednesday,or Friday at the very latest if the weather got bad. Three emails, and three phone calls later, and we have heard nothing. The only thing they HAVE confirmed, is that our case is still in Texas.

What more can we do?

It's a living nightmare for all of us, and approval is only the first step. Good luck to the ones that managed to escape - I suppose we'll all get out eventually, but until we do, we have to carry on and keep the faith.

We appreciate your support. Thanksgood.gifgood.gif

They don't know what they're doing. My exemple is the evidence of their lack of knowledge regarding the US spouse visa process.

The strong impression we are all getting is that we are dealing with, at best, a disorganized, almost unaccountable process and culture. For example, my US Representative's Aid called the Congressional Liason at the TSC over 3 weeks ago. The Liason "looked up" my case and said that it was (1) already with an inspector, (2) was being adjudicated, and (3) to expect a response in 2 weeks.

Well, none of that was true.

My petition was actually at the bottom of a box full of petitions that had never been looked at since arriving at the TSC. It appears that well placed communication (right person, right time) is making a difference. Thank God I am out of there - I will be praying for the same for all of you.
