Anyone dying from waiting already? Lol

Next week would be 6month since last time we met. And don't know when will we meet again. I know I'm not the only one in this tho. We're 2days flight separated and 12hr time zone difference. 

So how long since everyone here met their SO? and please share on how you keep yourself from growing grey hair.

We knew how long this was probably going to take when we filed the petition (other than politically-related variability once it hits Moscow). Still not fond of waiting, but we're managing. Helps to have another vacation together to look forward to, though.

 

Last met in early May (first visit to Russia, met her family), planning on next in the first week of October. Which is always a 12-13 hour train ride to Moscow before getting on a plane or meeting me for her, and a trans-oceanic flight (usually after a 2 or 3 hour drive to LA) for me. 10hr time difference means a lot of early morning for one of us/evening for the other one messaging and video calls.

 

And I clearly don't have much hair left on top anyway.

I went in January March June and again in October. Trying to hold off for New Years since I’m expecting the interview in feb sometime. I’ve been studying cases similar to mine from DR and it seems it takes a month after getting to NVC to schedule one. So let’s hope. We text all day and video chat. Calls too... time difference is the same until daylights saving time. ☺️ It gets rough sometimes and I usually visit every 3-4 months. I know money will be tight for my trip for New Years then i want to go for the interview so that may have to not happen. But I’m also busy with work, and finally getting my apartment decorated and etc. I’m such a procrastinator.

I'm expecting to get approved by November or December then have my interview February. Not assuming it but just thinking positive Positive thinking makes positive outcome..

 

We have 15hr difference. We do a lot of things in front of the camera aside from calling and messaging everyday.. We play uno and battlefield on messenger (you should try it, it's fun!), Answer test on messenger (It's a fun game! You'll know your partner more with their fun questions), read a book together (intro for upcoming newly weds), plan our wedding, talk about baseball, etc.. 

 

This whole process is worrisome and stressful so we do something to keep us busy and to talk about something just to be distracted from too much worrying cuz it wont help. Not everybody could afford or have time to go back and visit fiance/ fiancee in their country due to our loved one's work. 

 

This process is a test of time, patience and love. September is coming next week. We are almost there May 2018 K1 Fillers 😁

It is such a great idea! Where can I get this answer test game thing? Yea I should be more creative.

 

What I'm doing so far is write a one or two sentence everytime I'm missing him and I plan to mail it them all to him sometimes next month just as a surprise.

Awie! That is so sweet :')

 

You can find the game on you and your fiancee's chatbox. Click + on the left side. Find "the test", click it and play it. The questions will test of how much you/we know our partner. Have fun! I hope you like it :')

February had a bunch of approvals and March even had a couple. We are real close now folks, looks like we picked up more May 2018 filers in our group. I suspect there are many more out there (May filers) that are just lurking. Nevertheless folks we are close another month has gone approaching 120 days / 4 months. Everyone one still hanging tough?

122 days here, just patiently waiting. Some are approved on their 180 days but I’m expecting 200 days. So I won’t get hurt lol

Hi Sarge, I hope your well. How it’s going with you?

 

We are good I just got back from visiting my Fiancé and a lot of FaceTime. I have to tell you it’s tough no question BUT it’s worth it we have grown much closer and with God. 

 

Its hard to to believe we have about three months left until NOA2, I’m praying for the end of November. I see some approvals from March so it’s roughly a six month NOA1 to NOA2.
