Hello All,

I guess, this doesnt get any easier... its so discouraging.. having to wait on the process. It makes my days a little more difficult each day.. Being so far away from my husband. I received my birthday gift in the mail over the weekend. He made my day, you should have seen the expression on my face. I wish many times, he was here to celebrate each and everyday with me.. Yes, at hard times like this..it's great to hear his voice, see his gorgeous smile and the sparkle in the corner of his eye when he looks at me.. i miss him soo dearly.. He would say.. all we need is patience and time.. (we will be together) my husband gives me so much spirit and hope.. i love him so much... i try to keep my time occupied with work and keeping busy during my leisure times... Any advice...

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

See if you can take a break and go visit him. If that ain't a possibility, just hang in there. Remember, you're not alone. We're all with you, having been apart from our respective spouses for what seems like eternity now. Keep the faith and don't give up. Do everything it takes to keep your mind occupied.

nice very nice well go there and live withe him ......... what you think?

Errrr, perhaps you could be nicer???

Yes, i would live in tunisia with my husband in a heartbeat... There isn't anything we wouldn't do for each other. My husband would never take me away from my family... My happiness means the world to my husband, he's never selfish... He's a great respectful, honest husband and he'd always put my needs before his... The man he is proves how i'm so lucky to have him in my life. My husband's my happiness & i love him dearly...

We made a baby while waiting lol but I don't recommend it, it makes packing up and going at the end a horrendous task (sorry humor is acutally a vital part to surviving the wait)

Congrats, yes humor is great.. My husband & i have had so many discussions regarding our future plans. Who knows the processing time with any of the paperwork. If having a baby for my amazing husband would speed up our process, I'D DO IT.....l0l. If only it were that easy, couples would be giving birth left & right...l0l. We're both going to LOVE sharing our pregnancy with each other when he's living with me permanently. Share the miraculous delivery of our baby(ies) & treasure every moment for the rest of our lives.

we didn't have a baby to speed anything up, in fact the embassy doesn't know i'm pregnant! I'm getting old and we were getting near the end of our journey (we were at the NVC already. I will be in America long before this baby is born. Apparently my attempt at humor is lost here
