NOA2 and Christmas

[Mark-Ina 4]

Dear USCIS,

I hope that you are enjoying the most wonderful time of the year with your loved ones.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and to be alone. I've been waiting for 7 months to start a new happy family like yours. We have waited for a very long time, and we are still waiting....

Guess they will never understand how it feels like being away from your love one for a long time and be in this waiting game...

Hope they experience it too for them to see and know how hard it is...

Merry Christmas to all of you guys !! Let's hope we all will have some news soon - after holidays, especially you guys who are waiting so long !!! Its heartbreaking to be away.

We will say a prayer for you, hang in there.

Your seperation is by choice, our men and women who serves in the US military to protect this country that is offering your love one an opportunity to live in is separted from their loves ones not by CHOICE.

We each have decisions to make in our lives, the decision to love someone from afar is not one that is forced on anyone by the US government. If being together is what what you wish for christmas, then the choice is there for you'll to make.

Everything worth having in life has a life cycle, so if this visa is worth having than waiting through the life cycle is what needs to be done. Each and everyone who went through this process to migrate to the US has gone through the wait and being seperated from their love ones to live to talk about.

Have a happy holiday and lets give thanks that we are alive and healthy to share it with our families far and near.

I am responding to this post "Guess they will never understand how it feels like being away from your love one for a long time and be in this waiting game...

It's not a great feeling. The RFE after six months sure didn't feel good.

I think you are understandably feeling down and lonely. You are spending your time concentrating on the difficult side of this journey rather than what lies ahead. Every day that passes brings that family closer to you. You should feel lucky to even be able to have a wonderful place such as the USA to bring them to. You could have moved to her country I suppose. When you chose to bring them here you also chose to follow the legal processes to do so. Prior to that you like many others were completely ignorant of what that involved.

Here at Visa Journey those of us that went before you endured all of the things you now must go thru. My own case took 408 days; far more than yours at this point. You will find just as I did that there is and end to this part of the journey. The remainder is a little easier because you are together as you plan the next phases.

USCIS isnt paid to worry about your emotional state. They are there to get the job done. They are working on about 2.5 million cases of which yours is one. You better hope they are all having a good day at work.

I understand that it is my choice, and I should wait as long as they want us to wait... I only thought that my case is a real simple one... I work for Uncle Sam and have an active security clearance...

Being a full time (24x7x356) single dad that makes it a lot more than just an emotional need... I'm not sure why did I get myself and my kids into an open-ended situation like this... I should have known better.... But I wasn't thinking straight.

I sometimes want to just breakdown ... But I can't for my kids.... Marry Christmas everyone...

Don't give up..Everything will be fine!

Hang in there. It's really hard right now, but you'll get through it. We are waiting on a decision at the Embassy after a 221g, so definitely it's a tough Christmas, but there is still a great deal to be thankful for. Hopefully when we are done with this part of the journey we can look back and laugh, because we'll be able to laugh together... IN THE SAME PLACE!!

[JensJrny2Ray 367]

For me, I know that being apart has made us appreciate each other so much more. I don't wish anyone any heartache or for anyone to be separated from their loved ones. I know that USCIS is working hard on our cases even though it often doesn't seem like it. I hope that everyone who has waited so long will soon receive word regarding their cases. Merry Christmas everyone!
