work, sell some of the stuff I won't need, I am already prepared for the interview even though I haven't got my NOA2 yet so I am gathering information in regards with AOS and everything around it so we are ready to go once I move and we get married :) I am looking for a wedding rings, planning what will I be doing those months when I can't work in the US, organizing stuff I'll be taking with me, saving hard so I am trying not to go out that much which is even harder as the time would fly by if I did... In between I spend hours on skype, phone etc talking to my fiance!it's hard but it's doable :)3 months gone by, how many more? we are about to find out :)

Working and taking some yoga courses on my extra time, trying to keep my mind busy! saving money as i'm not going to be working for a few months once i'll be in the USA. Preparing my departure ( sale my car, rent my apartment...) getting papers ready once we receive the NOA2! My fiance is coming visiting me in France for 15 days in May definitely can't wait, we haven't seen each other for 3 months and will enjoy this time spent together while waiting for NOA2!

Hey guys!

I have been paranoid with all this visa stuff, tell me what you doing to kill your time, do you all work or just waiting for visa? What is your planning to do after you move to USA???????

Good Luck to all!!

took up a short course in Interior Design. And time flies fast if I'm keeping myself busy w/doing something I love. :D and if time comes I move to US.. I plan to look for a job that is in the field of Design, if its destined to be:D anyhow, just keep yourself busy w/sumthin'.. So u wont be able to think much of the long petition wait.. patience is a virtue.. You'll then realize that time really is fast :D

Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you..

I am the USC and husband, then fiance, the beneficiary, We both worked, saving as much money as possible, I planned our wedding, that was stressful with not knowing exactly when he would be here, actually had to change the date once. We spent alot of time on skype, it felt as though we were in love with computers, but as soon as both of us were home from work, skype would go up , we would play games with the kids, he would help them with homework, while I cook dinner. It is so difficult and time seems to drag, my best advice is to stay connected as much as possibly and try to live as normal a life as possible. It was good advice from one of the other posters to try and sell what you can now, because once you are leaving and or have left that makes it extremely hard. We are still trying to sell assets even now. Good Luck, once this is over you will look back and it will seem like it flew by.

Good Luck to all!!

I'm the petitioner in this case, I work and have take on quite a bit of overtime. Not really to pass the time but to make some extra money for trips (have booked a total of 4 this year and leave next month for the 4th), or some extra spending money, as well as he also works. Once I'm off we are on Skpye or MSN chatting or playing video games. All in all we just don't think about it, just sorta do our thing in the mean time.

Best of Luck to you.

Guys,

I know the feeling.I am the beneficiary from abroad,when me and hubby been to this situation (waiting) it was horrible it came to a point that tried to gave up but I always encourage hom not to bcoz I know we love each other & he said that he is not use to a long distance relationship,we were dating almost 3 years b4 we get married.what I did while waiting for approval was I study driving while I was abroad coz in usa driving lesson is quite expensive.I prepared the paper work slowly slowly for intrvw.& we talked a lot in skype funny thing is wherever I go he always checked what I'm doing & who I am with,kinda frustrating tho buh yeah long distance is hardest one.sometimes u always think what your partner doing and who he/she hang out with

My hubby worked hard save money so he was able to visit me couple time.we talked on the phone 4 times a day/texting each other,email,&I sent him.snail mail & cards every month.buh its worth we r married now and we r happy he stil work and I do chores inside and outside the house.we spent weekend at his moms house.

masipag.

I just got back home today from a visit in the US and now after my last exam on thursday I am trying to figure out what to do with my time.

I planned a visit back to my hometown, as I live in the UK but my family and long time friends are in Italy and after that I hope I will manage to get an internship for a couple of months in the summer.

I have been busy up until end of march with university, so time flew by, now I am a bit scared it will all slow down. Plus the fact that a lot of friends who lived in the UK have now moved back to their home countries is making things a lot harder.. hope the nice weather is gonna make days more enjoyable!!
