Now what?

Vienna told us they would not be receiving our paperwork and that it will definatly be staying in Albania due to our aproval date. Albania told us the same thing (this was all about 2 weeks ago). We sent in packet 3 in early November. I guess we were hoping for an interview letter (packet 4) by the end of this month, but so far nothing. Albania used to be very good about answering questions via email and phone. Lately, they are not answering anything from phone, fax, or email... it always either says just be patient or no response at all.

I am trying to plan my future and I am really not 100% sure what to do, My husband and I said we'd give this 1 year then I'd go wait it out with him. Being that I'm a teacher, that would basically mean that as of this coming June I'd go there. I really don't know whether to sign another 1 year lease on my apt, I am utterly confused and worried that maybe I have been given incorrect info.

Any suggestions or advice? After reading many posts on here, it does not seem likely that my husband can come wait here with me on a tourist visa.... is that probably a safe assumption?

Thanks for any help, suggestions, words of advice, etc,

Amy,

My personal opinion would be to give it 1 or 2 more weeks before making a decision. I have the I-130 packet in my hands right now waiting to either go to the Vermont Service Center in the next few weeks or Sydney in April (when I visit my wife again). I am seeing some glitter of hope in the near future from the posts in this forum. You are far along the path already and just need your packet 4. You've also received confirmation from Albania that your paperwork never left. As agonizing as it is, hold on a little longer. Just keep saying, "Good things come to those that wait...".

Good luck!
