[TammyandJosh 1]

And just go and get married? im so tired frusturated by waiting..I keep hearing all of you about no interview dates and we are still awaiting noa-2. Im just tired and i feel like my clock is ticking..sorry hormonal day..breakdown

Is it any quicker?

The K-1 is actually the quickest. If you abandon the K-1 you will have to start all over again and you've lost all the time with the K-1 petition

Stick it out

Good luck

K-1 is quicker than CR-1 if you already started on it kepp with that.

Hang in there...my fiance and i had lots of arguments too...simply because we were both getting frustrated, small things irritate us whenever we talk about waiting for the fiance visa process (almost broke up) but realizing that we can't do anything about it...since i dont want to marry anyone else but him and him not wanting to marry anyone else but me..so we ended up dealing with it and taking it day by day, trying to be busy did helped, i went too for vacation with friends here in my country and he did the same thing, went for the beach with his son and friends...we went away the same week...by the time we came home, he received notice from NVC that our papers are sent to my county's embassy...now we are almost at the finish line Realizing that love is patience and love endures all things

God Bless you both!!!

We are still waiting on NOA-2..We were able in the Summer to spend alot of time together and now with his career its hit or miss..we get a few days next week and a few days when they are in Toronto at end of month but its extremely hard on the kids...Plus they are missing a lot of school so we can spend time as a family..When we got engaged last Xmas it was hopefully by start of school, then it was Xmas holidays, now who knows....We dont fight alot we just dont have time to talk anymore...

Oh so i got that wrong about arguments...sorry for that...well, i do understand and empathize since the last time i've seen my fiance is last February this year, i do understand the missin' each other...since you have said the reasons why you can't communicate as much...i guess you will just have to increase your understanding on your situation...and you know what? once you received NOA2...everything moves bit faster...so hang in there, smile and cheer up...just remember everything has its perfect timing...and prayer does help

Hang in there - you really aren't beyond any timelines having only filed in April....you had an RFE in Sept so I'm sure your NOA2 will be coming soon!

I know its just we got engaged in Dec last year...And after Xmas season work picks up then its playoffs...So when all the stuff is due for pack 3 or 4 im sure he'll be in Minnesota or god knows where..(no ofeense to anhyone in Minn..Lol )..Hes just so busy trying to get paperwork done is impossible sometimes...it just should have been done alot sooner..thats all...

And with no one able to book interviews in Montreal right now that scares me too..

We are hear to listen! It just stinks to be at the mercy of USCIS....I did K1 4 yrs ago - in fact almostly exactly 4 years ago I was at my interview! The rest of the journey (AOS, ROC, Naturalization) is done together so it's so much easier! We started runn ing out of vacation days just before the interview and we were desparate to see one another. I cried just about every other day while we were waiting for the interview letter (back then they decided for you).

How old are your kids? Maybe you'll be able to move before school ends and they can make new friends!

Unfortunately you just have to hang in there. Definitely DO NOT get married in the middle of the K1 process or you'll void your K1 and you'll have to start all over again with a spousal visa and that takes even longer than a K1! The K1 is the fastest route even though it takes so long. Once you're past USCIS things start to pick up again.

When I was waiting for my visa I cried a lot and sometimes the stress and the pressure was just too much and I'd have breakdowns and sometimes start arguments. But I just kept imagining the day when I'd finally get on the plane that would take me home to my fiancee and that put it in perspective. I knew that I would get my visa eventually, I may not have known when I'd get it but I knew that if I stay focused and prepared everything right that I would be moving sometime in the future, and the thought of finally getting everything over with kept me on track.

It's horrible not knowing when you'll be able to finally see your fiance again, but just remember there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. You WILL eventually receive your visa and reunite. Just keep moving forward.

Thanks..Its almost harder bc we can juggle a couple visits every month for a couple days at a time. Sometimes he travels here for work so we go hang at his hotel while he works.Hes in canada sunday-wednesday and then we are in Toronto with him for the last weekend in Oct. Short visits and playing house makes it harder esp on the kids..

Not knowing is hard esp on the kids...I just paid rep hockey fees for the year not knowing if my son will play whole year and if it gets close to Xmas ill be paying another 1000 deposit for his spring team? again not knowing..lol poor kids..theyve been telling everyone they are moving I had a teacher ask if we were actually moving...

My big issue is we want a baby..and im not getting any younger..every day i feel like im wasting time..its tough..i dont want to wait too long..

Definitely hang in there. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do right now to speed things up but try and be involved in some other kind of project : work, friends, volunteering, etc.

It does get easier for the next part of the journey, which you can do together as a couple. Good luck
