My heart goes out to you, looking at your family photo you can see the love there.

At times it just doesn't seem fair that there is such a long wait. I refuse to put the tv on  Valentines week we've tried face time dinner for two ..but the novelty is wearing real thin now.  I wish we could make a deposit payment so we could be together while the visa process went ahead 😞

I know right? I really wish there was a way to speed this up. I really don't care if it would be extra money. I'd rather give that money to the USCIS to be with him sooner than an airline just to be there only for a week

I am going to visit them in early December.  They have all been great.  There is stress but when we all talk on FaceTime it is all fun and laughter.  We all text everyday.  I call to wake them up for school (3:15 PM for me, 5:15 AM for them) and they call to wake me up for work (7:50 PM for them and 5:50 AM for me).  I dont know what I would do if I didn't see their faces first thing in the morning and last thing at night.  I know we are getting close but the wait is killing me.   I will be with them in 25 days so I am very content and happy.

Aww Thank goodness for FT it's certainly a great help we've even played battleships together lol. Such good news to hear you are seeing them soon. I fly out in 23 days and hopefully stay until Jan 5th. So for us having an in between countdown hopefully helps with waiting for the long game. 

Still I can't wait until the day we don't have to say goodbye anymore ...I keep walking through airport security to go back to the UK looking like an extra band member of Kiss! ...waterproof mascara...ha

Amen.  When I started this journey I had already decided that I wasn't going to be the richest man in the cemetery.  I am putting both of my kids through college and I will gladly do the same for Aira and AJ.  There are more important things in life than money.  I am visiting in December and If I have to go back in January and bring them all home I will be poorer in finances but so much richer in life.

You've made me tear up John what a wonderful man you are. I truly hope you, Rose and all your children have your happily ever after very soon.

There is no doubt that I am a different man today than I was when I met Rose.  She even stayed with me when I was trying to scuttle the relationship.  She has taught me what real love is.  I have never had that before, including my 18 year marriage.  I can die a happy and content man but I hope that isn't too soon.  LOL

I completely agree. I can feel the pain and pressure of this long wait for you right now. I wish you guys all the best and for a speedy NOA2. I can already tell that the interview will be a breeze with all that love

Thank you so much for the kind words.  I am truly blessed that God allowed me to find Rose from halfway around the world and through the bizarre circumstance that brought us together.  

 

I wish you the very best and I hope that your journey is much faster than the May and June filers are facing!  May we all be in the arms of our loved ones while we reminisce about the wait time and laugh.  To quote the Grateful Dead...What a long, strange trip its been!

anyone else whos an October filer still hoping on being with their other half in May/June 2018 :(?

I'm getting used to the idea that I won't have my visa in my hand at least until July 2018. It might be sooner, but I rather be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

I really hope it goes quicker for you than that but who knows?  When I filed I was expecting an early September NOA2.  Now I am hoping for a very late November or early December NOA2.  There is a part of me that believes January is possible due to the holidays.  It is a small part but it hurts every time I think of it.  I'm on day 161 today and I don't feel any closer to NOA2 than you do!  Expecting Christmas together and now realizing that Valentine's Day is a long shot really hurts.

I hope you get your NOA2 end of this month or beginning of December! I was just hoping to be flying out by end of May, planning/booking wedding stuff as soon as i fly out to Jake & getting married in late August... not sure if thats possible atm if things dont pick up at the USCIS  its worrying that NVC is taking longer than usual too?!

@Meisha&Jake, you're almost to that one month mark!

Tbh the month has gone quick, lets hope all the months go quick LOL

I gave up on the idea of planning a wedding because of the backlog. I'll just be happy having a courthouse wedding. Afterwards, IF I change my mind and really want to go through the whole planning a wedding process then I'll do all of that. Until then, I'm getting enough stress from this USCIS process as it is right now
