June 2017 I-129F Filers, Part IV

[Lotts 1,433]

I am holding my passport and my visa.

The big, sacred envelope... It's. In. My. Hands. 

 

This whole process has now just punched me in the feels. It's done. 😐

 

More goodbyes today to people I will probably never see again. Gonna be a tough one. 😭

Damn woman that just made me tear up.

Lots of big big hugs for you and your loved ones. It will be hard but you'll get so much more in return.

Grandparents and uni folk. Probably won't see any of them again, to be honest.

 

This whole week is going to be tough. 

I think the worst one will be saying goodbye to my sister. She bought me a heart charm with "love you, dad X" engraved into it. (dad passed suddenly in 2008) and she keeps saying "one last ride" to me, referring to taking me to the airport. This is all so bittersweet.

 

Thank you, waterproof make up 😂

 Planning to spend the afternoon in the sunshine in a beer garden... Enjoying the 78° weather. 

Hey, Americaland... You still stuck in winter over there? 😉

 

Depends on what part of Americaland - we've already had 80+ degree weather here in South Carolina. I'm actually not happy about it. LOL

Finance and I crossed the border saturday in Port Huron, MI. Very low harassment level. The CBP agents were all joking around with each other and seemed generally happy for us

Never gonna see them again? Is that because you don't like them? Why not travel back?

 

My wife is getting her approval to travel by approximately August, but we likely will not go back to Cambodia until later 2019. That is when I will see everybody again.

That one was tough for my wife as well, her sister. They were very close, so many tears at the airport. 

 

They do have video calls (FB Messenger) a few times per week now. We are looking to get her sister a tourist visa for our wedding ceremony in Nov/Dec but it is very difficult to get one for Cambodia. Worst case we will see them when we travel back at least

Hang in there...I know this is hard. No end in sight for my case but trying to keep positive

Does anyone know how long AP take and how are we notified if we are approved or not? Feeling so frustrated and at times very sad. This is definitely a trying time I our relationship 😥

You can visit there again.  You are making me think of Rose and the kids leaving their friends and families to move half way around the earth to be with me.  It already makes me sad.  I will get them home as often as I can.  At least that will be a few months a year.  We are already planning a trip to see Rose's sister in London.  This is not the end.  It is a beginning!

Update: Noa2 4/19/18 Approved

Finally after almost 90 days RFE received.. There has not been an update anywhere. The notice just came today in the mail! My SR said on the 17th pending security checks. So patience is a virtue. Thanks God 🤗

 

I hope everyone else gets approved soon. Best of luck to all..
