Stay positive and all will be here before you know it. We started our process in February and my fiancé is here and we were married December 24! When things seems like it would never get here prayer helped and I wish you all the best!

I know that feeling ... the worst feeling ever in my life was saying good bye to my fiancé when I moved back to the US. But don't give up and stay positive you will be back with him before you even know it.

Keep yourself busy and surround yourself with positive people. :)

I feel for you. My fiance visited for Christmas and I had to say goodbye to him again on Friday, but we are remaining positive, now Christmas is over we can concentrate on the expense of the medical and subsequent interview In London. It's not forever and I'm just grateful he came over and made it a magical Christmas.

This whole process is not for the faint of heart. But, like most things, there is an end. Just concentrate on that, and stay busy. You'll get there!!

It's rough on everybody, which is what makes this site so great. Misery loves company, right? It's reassuring to know that other people are facing the same challenges you are, and to also realize that these challenges are not insurmountable. By the time my fiancee is expected to get here, we will have not seen each other for almost a year. It's never easy, but our relationship is actually much stronger because of the extra work we've had to do to overcome the distance.

I know what you mean... I'm visiting my fiance now but I'm leaving in about three weeks... We've been together for 3.5 years and it's been hard but we managed to spend a lot of time together in spite of the distance (I'm from Barcelona and he lives near Chicago) He moved there for a while, I moved here for a while...

But this time will be different because we just started the visa process by sending the I-129F package (we got engaged this October) but we won't see each other for at least 7 months. It makes me feel so anxious that I try not to dwell on it too much...

I wish the best to you and to all that are waiting. Like others have said, we have to hang in there and hope that we'll be together relatively soon and then we'll get to spend the rest of our lives together :-)
