Teague, it's so frustrating, honey. I wish I could do something to make things easier for you. I know you've done everything possible that you can do. Even knowing what it is they want would be helpful, wouldn't it? I'm not a praying woman but I keep you in my thoughts.

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

08 Jul 2013: SSN received (at SSA office)

07 Aug 2013: Green Card received

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

15 May 2014: Received formal residency/work permission (GNIB card with Stamp 4, one year renewable) for the ROI

Filipinos and Filipinas, I was just talking to a good friend at work who is also a Filipino. He says the road is long and hard from the Philippines, and the wait can drive you crazy, but please don't despair! He and his family had trouble with their petitions as well. It seems to be the rule rather than the exception for applicants from the Philippines, but on the other hand there are a LOT of people here who have been successful after all the trouble is over! It is cruel to be separated from our loved ones, but as my therapist says, delay is not denial. She said something else recently that I took to heart, and that is, "Worry does not give strength to tomorrow; it steals strength from today." Don't let anyone or anything steal the strength you need to get through the day.
