waiting for embassy contact.more then 6 months but no contact no reply from email even, i am thininkg to call to nvc to know about my case .REally i am crying badly.Wish i can die .

Aisha you need to stop,OK? Carolyn and her husband waited 4 and a half years and you are raining on her parade. Be happy for her and stop whining about your case not being updated every day of the week. The embassy told you long ago to stop emailing them and you blatantly ignored them. Hounding them 24 hours a day isn't going to help you. Learn from Carolyn's grace and patience. How many times have you threatened to kill yourself in these forums? Suicide is no joking matter, how many times are you going to cry wolf? People have had visas denied for being mentally unstable, you need to stop. CHILL OUT!!!!!!

I apologize to other members here for my rant. I check this thread every day in hopes that Carolyn and her husband finally received their visa, and FINALLY today they did. Every day Aisha is in here having a melt don over not having her case updated, I am tired of reading it.

A big HUGE congratulations Carolyn, your patience paid off and hopefully this whole nightmare will be a thing of the past. Please keep us updated on his progress and when he arrives. I'm so happy for you both!!!!! Happy dance dancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gif

Very happy for you Carolynhotstuff ! You have been an example of patience and gracefulness through it all.

I have been on a 4 year journey too with my fiance and starting over after 16 months AP and case returned.

So to see someone being successful in the end of this roller coaster ride makes me very happy. Today is the day to celebrate

you and cheer you on ! It is not the time to be moaning about ourselves but to be happy with you and for you. I hope others who are still

waiting can look beyond themselves for a brief moment, bringing positive energy and celebrate with you and allow your good outcome

to inspire them and bring them hope not despair. star_smile.gif

Aisha my dear, my name is Fatima I am Mohsin wife, and I am a USC and I most definitely dont hate anyone, my husband is a Pakistani, and I love him very much,

you are not the only one who is going through this, although I know that it's not easy, I have started this immigration process since 2011, firstly as K1 and when that didn't work out for us, we got married and file CR1, my husband had his interview last year and is on AP since then.Carolyn and Eabbas have been my inspiration when it comes to patience in thus forum, so please keep the faith and you will be with your husband soon. I have been visiting my husband at lest three times a year in Pakistan, when I dont go to Pakistan we meet in some other country, but it's not the same, because at the end we still have to part. Anyways be patient and pray,,,, Carolyn,, I know I wish you on fb,, but once again,, congrats to you and Ahmed,,,, you guys deserve this,,,

This is the most ridiculous statement from you yet. No one is punishing you, and no one said you don't have the right to be happy. You are in AP because of people who have gone before you in your OWN country of Pakistan who committed fraud to get into the US. Blame people from your own country, NOT the embassy, and NOT American citizens. You are your own worst enemy at this point!

How on earth can you reach this conclusion that every US person hates you. Seriously stop it ! Your imagination has taken off like the

energizer bunny. Please think on how you can express and articulate your grief in a more productive manner that reflects reality

rather than this constant pity party of "they all hate us." Dig deeper and gain some insight and awareness on who to hold responsible.
