Today is officially the 6th month of waiting for NOA2. I do not know whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing. I guess the majority of waiting is done, but also, I am a nervous wreck because we haven't heard anything yet.

Not only that but my fiance is going through a hard time dealing with me not being there, and he is very depressed... to the point where I think he might want to break up. (Could it just be cold feet)

Sorry, I'm ranting. No one around me can offer me real advice as they do not know what I am going through and what 6 month of waiting can do to you. Except you guys and gals... I'm stressed, worried and scared of losing him, I miss him and I wish I could be with him already. :crying:

It's frustrating because I feel powerless. I just want to be with him :help:

Don't be nervous, hearing nothing isn't a reason to be alarmed. They likely haven't looked at your case yet.

I can understand how this can be a strain on a relationship, but this initial visa process is less than a year out of your entire life together.

Indeed, tell him you are past halfway. If he is a sports fan, tell him he is in the third quarter of a four quarter game. He will understand that the end is near but there is much more game to play.

The wait is impossible but typically it is approx. 10 months, you are at month 6 so 4 months or less to go. If you can afford a visit, that would be great for both of you. The best thing for loneliness is time together. Otherwise, get creative. Skype (not just conversation but watch a movie together, dance together, something...). Find a way to pass the time with each other so you become closer.

You can file an e-request when you hit the 6 month mark, at least that's when it allowed me to submit one.
