Pics were screenshots from our phones, not screenshots of my laptop taken with a phone. We sent not more than 10ish screenshots. 

Oh okay I'm not sure how many I should send I have messages from 2013-2017. Originally I sent at least 40 pictures

I wish I could give you some precise and helpful information. We chat on a daily basis with FB chat so I had logs from conversations for the last 3 years from every single day we weren't together. I had tons of screenshots, but the lawyer said that's way too much and he said: "pick no more than 10", that's what we sent. Of course we sent all sorts of other supporting evidence so they might have not even looked at the FB chats by the time they saw all the letters from our family members, plane boarding passes, passport stamps, pictures, bookings etc.

Hi,

 

It's been a while that we were waiting. 167 days application yet no NOA2. Does anyone of you knows what's going on?

 

[rachied26 127]

This is random but just wondering and i dunno guess my anxiety is just on a all time high today but just wondering as anyone thought about moving there and missing home and like how you'll all make new friends etc... I dunno I'm just hoping when Matts at work and I cant work for 3-6 months that I'm going to feel lonely. Anyone thought about this or just me lol Hope all is doing well, I'm hoping I start to feel better later on today.

Yep absolutely! Sometimes it really gets to me when I think about the long hours my man works and how much time I will just spend at the house alone missing my son, family and friends.. I'm really really stressed out lately too because my GP is giving me hell with my medical summary, basically they've put so much wrong stuff on there and now they're just not getting back to me.. I've sent them 4 emails since last week and emphasised the importance of the medical summary being accurate and I'm not getting anywhere with them. I'm getting to the point now where I'm thinking is it all worth it... I love my fiance so much and I cant imagine being with anyone else but I've been living in limbo for nearly 2 years now, this process is just getting too much.. I hate that so much depend on other people providing us with the things we need in order to move forward and just the thought of still putting my life on hold once I get there being alone most of the day and continue to have to wait for approvals etc for this process is really starting to put its toll on me.. But.. I'm sure I'm just having a bad day and I am sure that we'll both meet lots of new people and make new friends. Saying that we'll probably be in Jacksonville from time to time cos we have friends there so if you ever want to get a cup of tea and talk about back home just let me know

Have you tried going down to your GP to see them in person? I found that every time I call the doctors I really struggle but when I go down and speak to them in person there a little more helpful. I hope you get it sorted soon though, I can imagine how stressful it is. I feel the same, I've never not worked from being 15 so having to depend on someone is stressful. Awhh thanks babe, that'll be good   We'll actually be in Georgia (Ringgold, right next to Chattanooga) for the first couple of months staying with Matts dad. What part of  Georgia are you moving to?

Girl I've been to see them, I've called, I've e-mailed.. getting no where. I'm really getting to the point of starting a complaint or even calling Knightsbridge for advise. They gave me my full medical history with every single consultation note, and half of what it says is inaccurate and I'm thinking it could cause issues at my medical.. I'm flying out to the US on Friday for the weekend so i might just leave it alone for the rest of the week now and pick it up next week. That's really cool. We'll be in Tennessee in the beginning, not far from Chattanooga!  Same, I've worked since I was 18 and I just hate that i won't be making my own money or having to ask him to pay for stuff that I need. I think I'm gonna look into doing some volunteering as soon as I get my license.

YAY! Just got NOA2 Approval Notice in my mail. The USICS site still says "Received" and it still isn't updated.

NOA1 was April 24/ 2017

NOA2 September 27/2017

So good five months but now I am happy.

For everyone else who is still waiting - good luck, and don't rely on the gov website alone, your approval might be on your way.

Congratulations on your NOA2

Got an RFE did anyone submit FB conversations as proof? If so how did you verify the account ownership and how did you present the conversations?

We submitted FB Messenger conversations and emails as proof of relationship (additional to the proof of meeting in person in the last two years).

I used Messenger on my computer to get bigger screenshots that I arranged in a document, 2 per page. They showed both our pictures and names and the date and time of the messages (it displays by putting the mouse over a message blub). I think we sent about 30 to cover over 2 years and a half period.

I think each and everyone of us has those thoughts.

For me it's not a big concern, as I'm more worried about finding a job and managing to have a good performance there than being at home.

Actually, being home alone is a good thing in my opinion. It gives you the time to build your own personal space and routines and feel more at home. At least that was my case when visiting early this year for three months, with Gary working 8 to 5, compared to my previous visit of two months in early 2016, with him working 16 hours shifts the weekends plus the occasional 8 hours shift during the week.

I love reading, so that's a good activity to help time goes by when you are alone and everything is peaceful and quiet. I would clean, cook something sweet once in a while (and I'm not fond of cooking, generally speaking), play videogames, watch Netflix, which is great to help out with your English... And yes, be glad you don't have to deal with the language barrier, because that sure makes things harder on you, I can tell you that.

Time difference means you can communicate easier with your people back home, because usually it's their afternoon/evening when you are home alone in the morning, so they keep you company too. Internet makes this a small world.

We adopted a cat, which helps with the company part.

If you are a social person (I'm not), you'll find a way to meet new people.

 

It can be hard, but it doesn't have to be a big deal.

I worry about this all the time. I'm 22 so I'm used to having a pretty good social life, I rely on my car a lot, have a lot of friends at work and still live with my family. I'm gonna have to give all this up. Of course, it's all worth it to be with Collin.

 

The main thing making me feel ok about it all is knowing that Collin is off work a lot when I first arrive. Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas and then new year too. I'm hoping to meet some of his friends gfs/wives and luckily for me, the military base is going to be full of other people in my situation who have left everything behind when they moved on base. Some from other countries, some from other places in the US. 

 

I think itll be hard for us all. But I know that it can be done. Stay positive and optimistic!
