So thought I would share some update with the people who are regulars on this post. Today is my birthday! And for my birthday I asked my fiance to complete packet 3.5 and get it mailed. We had some issues finding her birth certificate and getting everything together I guess it was a matter of luck it would get mailed today. So she sent me s picture of the receipt and tracking number. I guess I got my birthday gift! So now the official wait begins!

Btw she keeps asking what I want for my birthday what do you all do with this long distant relationship? I hought about asking for a lap dance but I think that wount go over very well.

I will pray for you and all of us. I know what it feels like to have your heart and dreams ripped out. It is apparent to all of us on here just how much you love each other. If I can help by sending y

We, including myself, have been waiting for one another to start a petition. I know someone suggested that Mushashi do it (as he brought up the idea) but it seems unfair to dump it all on one person.

Just stopping by to send my thoughts and prayers to everyone still going thru such a heartbreaking time. We continue down the road of reaffirmation but its time consuming and a long process but we ar

Happy Birthday. For our first birthday, anniversary, and valentines day we just talked on the phone for hours. It's doesn't compare to a lap dance. Btw good luck on your paper work.

Happy birthday!! Glad the papers are sent!

Sometimes we send packages like for EID this year My husband met with someone who was visiting family in pakistan last week and put togethr a package for her to bring back to the states and she is mailing from here. I sent packages sometimes but other times i go to a gifts to pakistan website and send a cake/flowers/gift basket/fruit etc or something to them.. for mothers day i sent Ammi two dozen red roses for $25!!!!!! Can't get that here! Other times i wire money to my husband to help buy the children bday gifts etc... this year for his bday we decided he needed an iphone so when he finally comes here he can get connected at the airports so he had half saved up and I wired the other half to him. (surprised him with a bday card in the mail.. i never put money in that obviously!)

I guess it just all depends on what's going on and how quickly things can be sent and how logical it is at the moment.

Happy Birthday! It's my husband's birthday today too - go Leo! ;)

I send care packages w/treats & health food (granola bars, etc) - my husband works late hours and during Ramadan he doesn't always get to have a proper meal so it's nice to have snacks around...even though it probably costs 5x more to ship it than the actual value - it's worth it because he enjoys it :) I also tried to order him dinner at work - but I discovered they don't have delivery in London like they do here in the US...

Ordering online through is generally easiest & cheapest if you can - saves on international shipping rates... This year I just asked him what he wants and so I am letting him order lighting equipment on my credit card cuz he is a photographer and it's what he needs/wants most...I always prefer to get ppl things they actually want over guessing and getting something they won't use...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :dance:

God delays but doesn't forget.

MBA2012, Eabbas and carolynhotstuff..... Thank you for the wishes!

Lian, Yeah surprise in my office there are 2 other guys same birthday! Its kind of strange because there is a total of maybe 43 People in our branch and 3 peoples birthday all on the same day.

OH yeah is there a way to track the Packet 3 once it has been mailed from the American Express drop off location or what they call the perfered or authorized mail locations.

I called DOS today and the lady who answered the phone was more helpful the most. Of course she stated that our case is still in AP, but told me that the reason why its in AP is because the embassy is reviewing to see whether or not we are eligible to receive the visa or not. There is no time frame on how long that will take. I am beyond frustrated with this process. I hate being in a gray area of anything in life. We sit here in this gray area while life just passes us by. Not sure of what to do.

humm... i guess she really impressed you "more helpful the most" lol! jk jk! I tottaly understand what you are going through, and agree how irritating and fustrating it is! Unfortunatly the operators that pickup the phone get asked the same question and they are nothing more then just operators they dotn have your file in front of them. So essentially what they do is give you a "Pill" ... its kind of like a pain killer, you believe it for a while and then the affects of the pill wear off and then the pain is back and the phone is back on the ear in hopes for a better pill for next time. Needless to say nothing will make you feel better till this issue is resolved and your in the good graces of an approval.

So true! I'll be taking another pill tomorrow before my flight to Pakistan where I will be recieving permanent treatment (my wife in my arms). Best case scenario is something will be resolved when I'm there.

There has to be someone or something we can do. If not we will all just sit here for god knows how long while life just passes us by. People around are getting married, going on their honey moon, enjoying one another. We haven't done anything wrong. We all deserve to be with the ones we love and cherish.

Apologies to everyone I am just frustrated. This process is draining me. I feel as if I am in a dark room filled with keys trying find the right match so I can get out. Lately it just feels impossible.
