Nothing you can do but wait patiently. The usual reason for delays is that they are waiting for some information or documentation from another government (Ukrainian) and it can take time to get a response.

Thanks for the reply Gary. The wait is killing me. We celebrate our first anniversary Feb.21 and I guess we will be 5000 miles apart.

That's a shame to be sure. But you have to look at it this way, Phil...you just have to or you will go batsh*t crazy...

This is a process you chose to enter to be with the most incredible woman you ever met. I cannot have a bad day after meeting Alla, I just cannot. I am sure you feel the same way. I miss her horribly when she is in Ukraine longer than I can visit, I am so spoiled rotten by her. I can "feel your pain" so to speak. The process takes 4-5 years and this is part of it, there will be more to come and it is a pain in the @ss. But nothing more than that and well worth any wait, trouble, expense. Believe me please, this will be over and she will be here and you will forget all this (until time for the ROC) and then citizenship and it is such a relief when they take the citizenship oath and you are done with this.

I would do it again a thousand times over and wait 10 times as long. My family brings me all the joy and pride in the world. You'll get there.
