Well I mailed all the documents for my fiancees interview last Monday by USPS. They charged $68 for 5-8 day delivery. It finally arrived yesterday..two days before the interview. No kidding, I was sweating it!!!! So, in 7 hours my fiancee will go for his interview!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Pretty sure I am not going to be able to sleep tonight.

Can't believe after all this time, it is finally happening. It seemed as if this day would never come...but IT DID!! I know it is easy for me to say now, but for all of you still waiting..hang in there. IT WILL HAPPEN! Nothing good every comes easy and it will all be worth it in the end. And don't forget that all of us are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers too!

(L) Sending love today!!!!

UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

ohh why is it like that in Poland! Our case left NVC but now I have to wait for two stupid letters from the Embassy. I sheduled my medical examination for next Tuesday but supposedly I should wait for the packet 4 which contains info about the medical... I called the embassy and the lady said that the medical is valid for 6 months but they cannot guarantee that I'm gonna get an interview date in less that 6 months period. I guess it's just a standard piece of information they give to everyone.. I don't know what to do... I guess I'm gonna cancel my appointment and wait for this letter :/

OMG! HIS VISA WAS DENIED!!! I am so upset right now I can barely concentrate! They wanted more proof of our relationship. It didn't matter that there was 8 months of Skype conversations or that I LIVED with him in Macedonia for 4 straight months, had a dozen pictures of us together and with his family or the confirmation of our planned wedding....she questioned why we didn't have "phone" conversations and why we didn't get married in Macedonia. WTH!!!??? First of all I was in Afghanistan and, until 2 weeks ago, was with him in Macedonia. Second, who wants to get married in Macedonia! That doesn't even make sense.

Oh and she asked why he didn't work in Macedonia when he came back from Afghanistan.

I am now gathering up every SINGLE piece of documentation I can find...ALL emails, Facebook posts, etc. To be honest, I don't even know what else to send. :( Just waiting for my attorney to come in his office so he can tell me what to do. Who knows how much longer it is going to be before we get another interview scheduled. :( Thanksgiving is ruined...I am sure i am going to have to reschedule our wedding now. So now...if I can quit crying...I can get this done.

I so hope I don't scare anyone with this, but I wanted to share. DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT!!! My attorney and I both thought we had enough.

What a horrible day...month...year. I don't wish this experience on anyone. How can a person just sit in an office and with the swipe of a pen, determine your entire life. Nothing about this or this process is right. I have spent the last 10 years of my life, six of them in the military, and the last four in Iraq and Afghanistan, on and off, to protect our freedoms and pursuit of happiness and this is how MY OWN COUNTRY thanks me. I am just totally sad and angry right now.

Sorry about the rant. :(

I am so sorry! Did they actually deny or want more proof? (221g)? You might also want affidavits from friends and family. Oh, and thank you for serving... I do appreciate what you have done. Fingers crossed for you!!

Based on my current status I have very little heart remaining but what I have, it goes out to you and your fiancé. I hope and pray things turn around for you quickly.

This is rudiculous! What else they need? Isn't that enough? And who would use a phone and pay a colossal bill when there is Skyp and Face Time and God knows what else. I feel so sorry for you but at the same time I am so mad at this whole process. As you said, "How can a person just sit in an office and with the swipe of a pen, determine your entire life"!

Soo can you provide them with additional evidence and they're gonna consider it again? My thoughts are with you.
