Well congratulations Carolina! I don't think you realize how different my relationship is with Loreta than almost any relationship I know about and could easily be a good movie story. First of all the fact is she has always had way too many health problems and now that she will be 37 in 4 months its not getting any easier for her. I've known about the problems since I met her, almost 10 years ago. She and I are best friends and we can never be apart for too long. She's tested me against past boyfriends and just about everything else but I've always won her, over and over again. We both need each other. I really wonder sometimes how long it will be before some health problem comes along that could put her over the edge, but I'm going to be there for her cause there's no one else that can take care of her the way I can.

So don't worry about me, she and I are fighters till the end and we've already given each other so much happiness that we will always be happy for what we have!

I think I know what you are saying Looky ... I believe we go through different stages in our lives and patience and understanding increase as time goes by - life is full of compromises ... for the interview, my best wishes - I hope for the very best for you both. (F)

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number

Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .

Yes Andie, and to add I'm one of those who believe there are only a few people in the world that are perfectly in tune with you. I'm almost 50 and I've never been married and there's only a few I ever considered, but now I've found her and I'm not letting her go.

In a way I believe Loreta and I have got the hardest part out of the way, the part where you have to build a trusting and loving relationship and can take on any problems with your partner and solve them. Of course I haven't been in the same place with her for 10 years but we certainly have been having the conversations over the phone over that time span, about everyting and know how to deal with each other.

Nothing good ever came into my life without a fight, but once you get through it you appreciate the prize much more! Thanks for the wishes! I want to believe you two have the same sort of relationship Andie, just there's a bit of a road block that you have to get through first. So best wishes for you too Andie. (F)

Road blocks and bumps in the road are definitely present Looky .. You pretty much have it summed up. I understand your determination - sometimes these things can't be explained without writing a book, so like you, we try to stay strong and deal with the bumps as they occur.

There is no other way. It is the only road. Just be sure and let us know the good news when it happens. (F)

Geor and Andie no good news, she had a fever coming on around the beginning of last week. We were hoping it would just go away. Late Thursday I found out she had pneumonia, from a cutoff text msg. Haven't been able to contact her, just praying she's ok.

Here's an update. I talked to Loreta this morning, afternoon her time. Somebody in her apartment bldg last Thursday found her on the floor and called an ambulance. She's still sick and trouble breathing and it hurts when she coughs. Pneunonia is an infection of the lungs. I was so relieved to hear from her. Will have to deal with the embassy again, but what can you do?

You don't have to say anything Andie, sometimes bad luck streaks hit us and good streaks too. She has friends over there but I don't really trust her friends anymore. Cyprus is next on the list after Greece to go bankrupt which means more and more people are going to lose their jobs. I'm helping her as much as I can. This is all a chain reaction from that taxi accident and now I'm always reminding her to wear her seatbelt. The worst has got to be over for her. I imagine for a couple weeks she will have to go to the clinic everyday for antibiotic injections and she'll feel weak from them. She'll get through this and I can now talk to her everyday. She can get food delivered to her.

Maybe this time I will try again to go there for the interview, I'll see how she is feeling.

I know that once you hit a low ebb it can take a lot to climb back to a good level of health and sounds like she has a good routine set up to do that. So that's all positive.

Best wishes to you both (F)

@Looky--Letting you know we are still out here and thinking of you. Have read over your recent posts and sorry to see the recent run of "challenges." Yes, you are right to keep mum about details (e.g., interview date) which can place you or your fiancee at certain times/days/specific circumstances. The scamming and other previous troubles may be purposely directed at you/Loreta or just a "run of bad luck" or any combination these factors. Whatever the case, prudence dictates caution. In most part, still praying strongly for Loreta's improved health and for a successful interview appointment. Take care, Looky. --RK and Inday
