I know, we are the same, I was devastated after the interview I could not cry. After a day I blamed myself and cried hard. My husband was trying to calm me down and comforting me. But I just learned that he was more depressed, angry and frustrated than me, it all came out this week. So it was my time to calm him down. We are not totally fine but we are feeling much better. There is nothing we can do now but to wait and pray to god. I will give you updates, lexussmith. I am happy that I have a new friend, i mean you. :)

We hope so too, this waiting will end soon. Thank you so much. I tried to call a few times but they always tell me to send email to the IV section. We will wait again until next week. My husband went to the house of representative, and one is trying to help. Hes going to sent docs or letter from them regarding our visa process. And we are hoping that this can help us get my visa soon. But many times I saw that my AP was touched and the dates changed 4 times.

it's changing everytime you call them because the callcenter is also checking online but they are just referring to your status online coz the decision when it'll be finish will be from the consul who did your interview and the final decision will be from the higher department.how long are you been waiting? coz usually it finish 2weeks from the date they received the docs but sometimes it takes longer than that...I'm trying to extend my patience and to just think that everything will fall into places.God knows how much we love our husband so don't lose hope..it's just one of the trials in our marriage.just hang on my friend..and always think positive.
