One more thing; about figthing with your couple. Dont worry, most of the vj members here experience the same thing. I, we experience lot of fighting, madness, angry, you name it, in getting through this whole process. You're not alone.

I am soooo sick and tire of this process... I am nervous and under LOTS of stress right now.

My lawyer says we are going to have a ROCKY road cuz we don't have a lot of convincing pictures...

Why do pictures matter so much anyway? We are just not photogenic and we just couldn't find any picture from our on-and-off relationship of 5 yeras.

We don't even have pictures with our fam...ughhhhh

And then the lawyer says because we have a same group of people for the photos AND the affidavit forms, it doesn't look good...

I don't really understand what he's saying...

I am just worried that they won't approve of us ONLY because of the photos...

I just want to hear how much evidence you guys have submitted.

I am under so much stress... :(

Please help me out here!

this lawyer knows nothing.there r lots of powerful and convvincing ways instead of pictures.also visa process depends hows ur country's relations with U.S.i know i case from israel he got his CR1 visa in 4 months coz of a repid reply from uscis.u r not alone i m also on initail review.i dont know how much time they would take. :bonk::bonk:

We will try to find more photos over the wknd and just file it no matter what on monday... I don't think I can delay this process any longer since it's REALLY stressful..And then try to take as many pics as possible til the interview date (even if they all look awkward and funny)... I had these thanksgiving photos with his grandma and sister but they just look really really awkward and the lawyer said staged photos are even worse... UGH Thanks for y'all emotional support here again. I really needed it cuz my hub wouldn't even talk to me whenever I tell him sth to do.. he thinks i'm just being a nag. UGHHH

Thanks! And we didn't have a wedding ceremony... we're saving money to have a big dream wedding in 3 years when we are both out of school...and the lawyer was just being really critical... i know that he was trying to be helpful and prepare us for the interview but everything he says just makes me think as if USCIS will try every way to separate us. This process totally took a toll on our relationship too.. :( we've never really fought before this process but these days it seems like we get on each other's nerve all the time. I really hope to be done with this process ASAP!! I want our life back!!

1.e mails

2.post recipts

3.pregnancy repot

4.photos

5.exit & entry stemps on passport

6.try to spend maximum time togater.i dont know how people living without husband or wife.

this distance is big obsticale in ur relationship and also making them to consider ur marrage A BUSSINESS MARRIAGE OR A FRAUDAL MARRIAGE.

We already paid the lawyer 2500...ugh seriously noone can hate this process more than I do. I feel like there not one person I can depend on! I have nightmares about this every night. I don't even know what was the point of having a lawyer anymore. I'm just hoping they would just set up an interview date for us whatever the h they want to ask then approve... What if they don't even interview us cuz of the lack of evidence?

Instead of paying a lawyer 2500 dollars I would plan another trip to see the wife..But 5000 dollar trips will not happen that often lol.....

It's difficult on everyone.. Me and the wife talked today and because of our age it's hard because we not know how much time we have left on this earth........I just pray to be reunited soon.. If it drags too long I will move to her country........

Without this visa or greencard thing I'm basically useless to our dreams and plans we have...its just difficult for me to imagine anything that would destroy our little dreams...did most of y'all have a lawyer like mine...?
