You may have been turned back at POE anyway if you have insufficient ties ... that's the situation I'm stuck in, since I'm not working. I would have been if I'd known I would be waiting so long, but all along the wait, there hasn't really been any way of knowing how long I could commit to any available job. Just been delay after delay.

I'm happy about the visits too... nice people on this thread :)

Yes my fiance was stuck in the same situation... She got denied on the tourist visa ... we tried that first ... a waste of 125 dollars ...

My fiance has been telling me the past few weeks that we will not be married until after march of 2013. I am starting to believe her now... :bonk:

Hopefully it happens sooner. I really keep my fingers crossed for you.

My friend has been to the US in July 2011, twice this year and they didn't deny her.. and she has no job, lives with her parents.. I guess it's just a matter of luck.. My fiance cannot come to visit me and I have plenty of time and I'm stuck here... Well, nothing we can do :)

We are on the verge of doing the same.... I for sure am going off the deep end... I used to be a nice guy... :)

You're still a nice guy!! It's just this darn process!! I sit at my desk at work grumpy these days. Every text I receive I look quickly in anticipation!

Noooooo don't say that.... There's still hope

yes... sometimes its not so much fun living down here at the bottom of the world... flying and layover time between us is around 24hrs.. but I don't have sufficient ties here anymore and can't get a visa and he can't leave his work, dogs etc..just too complicated. If we'd known it would take so long we probably would have organised something, but who would have thought it would be such a long time apart. In theory it should happen soonish - I can only imagine the meeting at the airport when it finally happens.

Wow that is a huge distance for sure!! The NOA2 is coming!!
