Well everybody, I have very terrible and tragic news. Some peoples lives, at certain points in time, are just a lot better than others. Unfortunately, my life and Diana's are at low points. She has active tuberculosis and will be going on Tuesday to start a 6 month treatment in Juarez. She doesn't even know the bad news yet, all she knows is she is going to Juarez. Her aunt is going to tell her sometime within the next week. I can visit when I can afford to, but other than that, I won't get to be with her until December of 2008. You definitely will not be seeing me on this site a whole lot in the next 6 months.

India, gun buyback and steamroll.

Here is what Roberto writes about his interview day: Mi experiencia fue de la siguiente manera: Fue tardado y tedioso todo el proceso de la visa. Al decir lo anterior es en función a la espera ya

I am so sorry for that, I hope she will be fine. It will be hard on you waiting this additional time but you can get through it.

I would contact the consulate and see if the appointment letter could be extended until the treatment is completed.

I'm so sorry. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts.

Why does she need to return to Juarez to begin her treatment? That seems harsh. 6 months is a very long time, but you guys can do this. Maybe she can use this time to study her English so that the transition will be easier for her. My husband wishes he'd studied more before he came.

And about us not seeing you around for the next 6 months, this is actually a really great place for support. If you'd like to practice your Spanish, there's a great group of people in "Fuera del lugar" in the Latin America/Mexico part of the Regional forum. We chat about lots of things and people are in various parts of the immigration process. Honestly, it helps to have support from other people who know what it's like to have a loved one far away and to be at the will of the US Bureaucracy. I'd say give it a try for some support.

again, I'm so sorry.

Heather

Also, I'd also post your question as it's own thread in the k-1 forum so other people can answer. I'm sure people from other countries have had to go through this before.

Unfortunately, I don't have any answers for you- but I just wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry to hear what's going on. I agree that 6 months in Juarez doesn't seem very practical- how come she can't just stay where she lives? I hope that everything will be ok with her and you are able to make this work until you can visit her and she can come here. Hang in there and I hope everything works out for you.

I didn't see any dates on the open appointment letter besides her birthday.

The I-129f approval has an expiration date but the consulate can extend this I believe if they choose to. Does she have to stay in Juarez or will she stay with her Tia and travel for her treatments?

She has to stay at a medical clinic in Juarez. She is isolated for the first 2 weeks. Everyday she will have to take medicine. It is free and she is allowed to leave and come back after the first 2 weeks.

India, gun buyback and steamroll.

That sounds more reasonable. From what I understand, treatment involves taking a daily medication. It's a strong medication but a common one since tb is pretty common.

the greatgate,

Hang in there, you will see how all of this will turn out fine in the end. It must be very hard on you guys, but it will make your love for each other grow stronger. None of us in the Juarez thread can understand what you are going through, but that doesn't mean we cannot offer you words of support and encouragement. I also agree with the previous post that said you should still check in with us every so often. No one else will understand what it feels like to have your loved one many miles away from you. Not many understand why our long-distance relationships work out, ONLY OUR FELLOW VJers CAN UNDERSTAND US. So hang on in there and you will see how this will all turn out to be okay and before you know it, you will have Diana with u in the U.S. :thumbs:

I'm really sorry to hear this. There are so many things we deal with when going through this whole process, and in the end, it makes us stronger. On a good note, it's 6 months and it'll fly by fast. And she has a curable condition.

And I hope you can visit her as often as you can, at least once before December. I think it might be difficult not to see each other, and even if it is expensive to fly for a short period of time there, seeing each other is so valuable.

Hey Greatgate,

I feel for both of you. Eventually she'll be by your side but I know the time is what kills us all. I'll send a lil prayer out for both of you. Good luck.

Does anyone know how to go from El Paso, TX to Juarez? Is there a bus?

...From where I live to El Paso, it costs around $400 by air. From where I live to Juarez it costs around $600.

There's a trolley bus! It's cheapo ($12.50): http://www.borderjumper.com/routesAndRates2.asp.

The airport is not far from the bridge, take a taxi to the bridge and then walk across, then take a taxi to where you want to go.
