Yep. Pretty much dragging like a zombie at work and home, trying to keep busy to keep my mind off of it. It sucks that his cologne scent is still somewhat on the couch and on his pillow but I'll miss it when it's faded completely. Our fur babies already noticed he's gone and they go around the house looking for him which breaks my heart.

Oh you have kids with him.. :(

that must be very hard

haha, well, they're furry kids. I've got two cats who are attached at the hip with my hubby when he's home. They forget I exist. sleepy.gif

p.s. Yay, another Houstonian! :)

Thanks jenmatt! It's clear to me now.. ?

You're welcome, krispykreme! I didn't mean to instigate the tirade of nasty comments that ensued. But, just wanted to inform you what some of it was about... :)

Thank you, Jen smile.pngsmile.pngsmile.png

I-129f form is used for both K-1 and K-3 visa.

I-129f/K-3, in theory, is meant to shorten the physical separation between spouses. K-3 process has been very inconsistent.. and these visas are rarely granted anymore.

It can only be filed if there is an I-130 already pending.

rofl.gif

Blueberry, you know you're more than welcome, girl! OK...then you should whatever you can to shorten the time you are apart!!! Definitely! If you think it has a shot of working.... I can't believe that this process is taking so long for people. My hubby and I were just saying...we are paying our fees..if we were not paying fees and relied on the good will of the government to do this, we could understand long delays...but when we are paying for slow service, that's just unacceptable. Argh! If you do the K-3, will it speed you up, according to the current processing times????

Hey guys got a email from uscis saying they sent my case to dept of state n not nvc is there a reason for that has anyone else had their's go to dept of state?

That's ok. Some of them are going to DOS. It might be a good thing since yours is being expedited. :) I have a feeling DOS is higher on the totem pole.

Yep. Pretty much dragging like a zombie at work and home, trying to keep busy to keep my mind off of it. It sucks that his cologne scent is still somewhat on the couch and on his pillow but I'll miss it when it's faded completely. Our fur babies already noticed he's gone and they go around the house looking for him which breaks my heart.

k.dlg, I can totally relate. When my hubby left me in September, I dragged...couldn't sleep well coz I missed him. I kept wearing his t-shirt to bed until it was just too gross...and when I washed it, I lost his "smell" and cologne. Totally lovesick. It's horrible. My 3-year old son keeps asking where he is and when he'll see him again. It's just hard. Last night, we were up on skype til 4am my time...coz I'm just having one of "those" weeks where I'm missing him. At least we know there's light at the end of the tunnel and this won't last forever. The in-between is horrible, though. My hubby's English too, by the way--just living in Holland. good.gif

APPROVED 2/13/2014! dancin5hr.gif Day before heart.gif day. rose.gif

That is an offensive comment towards the people who are here for visa journey support. I appreciate the people who have been here to help and support myself and others on this page. If you want to start another thread, you can do so and invite others who agree with you.

I agree, Blueberry. And you are an awesome person on this thread. I appreciate EVERYTHING you post. Personal and about visas. :)

hey blu my noa2 came from lee summit missouri

Congrats Luv! So happy for you!

On a positive note....my AOS fee was invoiced, so I was able to send in my AOS paperwork today. Can't believe it! My hubby also got his police certs...at LAST! One more step down. We just have a form and one more packet (IV packet) left...before it's all sent off to the consulate for the interview.

I agree 100% smile.png

Whereas, I disagree 100% with that remark.

Thanks Blueberry! I'm so happy about it...I'd love it to be done by Christmas, but, I think it might be too tight of a timeframe by the time we get this AOS package accepted, entered and then the IV invoice sent, paid & everything mailed in. Everything is a step by step process & takes a week or two in between, even at this stage, it seems... So, I'm trying to be patient (my poor hubby...coz I'm not.) I hope you're here with me soon! Did you decide to do the k-3????

I see... Well, still- fingers crossed, girl :)

We keep going back and forth on K-3 visa. I think I will start filling out paperwork today, though.

60 days until I see my hubby! Looking up flights for him right now :)
