For some reason I am very calm today.  Yes it is a slow day and I really thought this week was going to be great but reality always has a way of proving it is in control.  We can hope and pray but until that app pops up with a message or that email chime goes off or the letter is found in the mailbox we are all simply waiting to be with our loved ones.

 

Maybe this week wasn't ours but that makes next week even better.  Each day that goes by is a day closer to approval.  Please don't stress the process.  Hold your loved ones closer and let them know that our day is coming.  It will happen and it will happen as quickly as possible.

 

Remember why you are in this slow and stressful process in the first place.  It is for them.  USCIS employees are working and their bosses are paying attention.  They are not being slow just to hurt us.  They are doing the best they can.  This part of our journey will end.  Relax and smile.  No one wants to wait but think about what you are waiting for.  To someday be in the arms of your loved one and not worry that your visit is coming to an end.  You will be together forever and THAT is worth whatever hell we have to endure to get there.

 

Don't be sad this weekend.  Spend it chatting, Skyping, Facetiming or whatever else you do.  Look into each other's eyes and realize that you are a week closer to being together than you were a week ago.

 

We can do this! 

I think of it often as a blessing that we are given this time to grow and bond with such strength with our loved ones during this time of physical distance.. It really says a lot about a couple that survives and thrives in a long distant relationship. and that's every one of us. its not easy.  we experience things that most couples don't know nor will ever know because its simply more common to meet/find/marry  in person and local..  and i know in my situation, theres a language barrier so that's a whole nother set of trials that cries out for that physical intimacy that provides reassurance in emotional moments .  but we press on . and we know that the wait, while a tad painful is worth the goal at then end because it is such a testimony... we are all testimonies.... The Lord gave us strength to endure and He never gives us more than we can handle.  I for one am incredibly blessed to have met the man of my dreams in such a bizarre way, and I would wait years if I had to.  He is worth it.  <3

Not many people can understand what we are doing.  I still get the "what, aren't there any good women in America" attitude from many people.  My answer is "No, there isn't a woman in America that makes me feel as loved and as comfortable as Rose does".  She can do that from 9000 miles away, imagine what it will be like when we are hand in hand!

I’m extremely angry I called and went ballistic on the USCIS a few moments ago. A couple of points I commented:

-> I find it ironic you are named “services” when they are actually providing a disservice to American citizens 

-> I will not accept figures posted on a website they fail to maintain on a reasonable basis. No, you are NOT working on May 1st

-> The current processing time is absurd, and frankly I’m gravely concerned with the management within the USCIS and gross inefficiency on display

-> I will be contacting the White House, the senate and congress about the NEGLIGENCE which has resulted in obscene processing times. This is not about my specific case but about EVERYBODY 

-> I don’t want to hear your nonsense about a request to expedite as my experience leads me to believe that it should be called request to do nothing 

-> Why are fees required for this heartless, soulless and embarrassing entity to fail to provide even a basic level of service? I should be compensated for your failure 

 

I wasn’t able to stop myself from cursing unfortunately. In the end a change needs to be made, and that has to happen at the top. I know the people on the phones are not the ones with influence on these matters.

 

Even if my case arrives tomorrow I will still pursue this further, for the benefit of future citizens and immigrants. Even if no change will happen from my one-man mission I promise you I will try.

 

Sorry @John & Rose I think I failed at the “calm” approach. 

 

I need a beer.

It's been a minute since i last checked back in here. I left for a visit on the 29th October to spend time with my Fiance and the family until mid December so i haven't really been checking to see if any of us June filers have got their NOA2! I do keep seeing my date being pushed back though  But i guess i have a plus of being with him and his family for this period to take my mind off the waiting process! I guess my NOA2 will be my christmas gift! *fingers crossed*

 

I hope you are all hanging in there and going strong with your patience!

Well if you gave your WAC# and went off on them like that you now might have problems on your case in the foreseeable future, cause all that they have to do is put a nice note with in your case file which you will never know about and you could be denied at one end or the other.

I’ve considered that. These people deal with upset callers constantly, they just give robotic responses. In the end I highly doubt they want to $@&! with me.

I sincerely doubt that you are the only caller to ever complain about their "service".  I hope you feel better because as I was reading your rant i was giving you high fives.  I can't imagine anyone here who hasn't had those same thoughts in their heads.  I thank you for being our surrogate.  Now get that beer and relax.  It is the weekend and next week is another opportunity for them to get this done.

I'm sure they realize it was an attack out of frustration and not a personal attack.  I am guessing that they must have some training on how to deal with irate citizens who are not happy with the level of service our $525 buys.
