Hey all, hope everyone is doing well. I have honestly been too busy to check the forum here.... I have a lot of work considering i just gave my notice and soon i will have to help my students transition from me to another teacher. Already told my students i was leaving and they all started crying (and they are in 6th grade!) so it's has been a pretty long and tiring week. Still waiting for my fiance's interview... One month from today. My mom is preparing for us to get to the US, she bought a new car and kept her old one to give to us when we arrive there. So that is nice. :) it is good to see all the news here... I'm still here reading even if i dont chime in to chat.

Hello Friends. Just back from Krakow last night! Terry absolutely loved it. My parents love him now even though there was a small communication barrier ( language) , my brother and his family love Terry too so I am really happy ! Other than that he is leaving tomorrow morning so getting sad now but at least its not going to be too long now...

We still haven't received the interview date yet, it will be 2 weeks this Wednesday since I sent the pack 3 so I am hoping to hear sth this week.

I am happy for all of you who got approved and those already in the US.

So sad that Texas is still waiting! I don't get it!!!! It's ridiculous !

Hey everyone,

Thank you for all your thoughts. I have been reading the posts and staying in tune with everyone. Congratulations to all of you moving onward and forward in this process. :)

I haven't been posting here much because I simply have no news to offer yet. I am trying to stay strong through all of this. It's hard, very hard. I feel like I am wishing time away at this point - and that is no way to live. So I am trying to focus on other things. I am pretty sure that I have found the wedding dress that I am going to buy... I just haven't pulled the trigger and bought it yet. Probably this week. :)

Our file has been with an officer for more than 30 days now and still nothing. (wonder if he went on vacation or something). I am really dreading the thought of another RFE. Our original RFE evidence was received by them on July 18th. On the RFE it said that they could take between 14 and 60 days to review. According to my calculations 60 days is up around Sept 18th, so I am really not expecting anything much before then.

I thought that going through the courts and gaining full custody and permission to move with the children from my ex would be the most difficult part of this process. Once I got that, I thought we would be free and clear and this immigration stuff would just be paperwork. I was not prepared for the stress, anxiety and depression that this process has been. It has actually turned out to be the most difficult. It feels that we have come sooooo far on this road, only to hit a major road block.

My family and friends all say "good things come to those who wait". While I understand that... nobody that hasn't gone through this really understands how difficult it is to live in limbo, just wanting to have a normal relationship, instead of living on the computer, because that is the only way you can spend time with your loved one. They just don't get it... they can't possibly understand how lucky they are to be able to go to sleep beside the one you love.

This process is a serious test to any relationship. I am pleased to say that I think in the end it has made our relationship stronger and will continue to. :)

Onward and forward... days come and days go, weeks come and weeks go, months come and months go... but eventually I will be with my love. (L)

Kim
