Depressed

[AUBGER 0]

Hey everyone.

Just to complain about this being tied up and not able to do anything about it. I have this 2 years home resident requirement because of my first exchange student visa and I'm going through so much stress with "paying my debt to society" it's not even funny. I mean ok, all together I have about 20.5 months and there are about 3.5 left but they are not allowing me to go with the process while waiting. The funny thing is hat even the embassy doesn't know how to deal with things. When I was still studying in Bulgaria and the consulate there said i will get refused the visa if processing, we called the American Embassy in Bucharest since I was moving out of Bulgaria. They said that I will not get the visa refused and it is fine to go with the process and they will just stamp the visa in the passport when I am done with 2 years. I move home to Moldova and get Package 3 that tells me.......that i have to WAIT until i have the 2 years and then apply. We call again...."Who told you that? It is not how it's done". What would be the pain if they set the interview date on a day when I can PROVE that i'm done with those 2 years? WHY CANT THEY JUST LET ME do the Medical and Package 4 and all that while waiting? I mean do I really have to be away from my baby 1-2-3 months more than I'm supposed to?

I dont understand

3.5 months is really fast compare to 20.5 months, just keep holding on you wont regret once its over. I waited 18 months to be with my love and thought I would be insane before the end of the process. We had to wait for his divorce to be completed to apply for the K-1 and believe me I would have loved to have the K-1 in process while we were waiting for the divorce. But we had to wait 2 times.

When I arrived at home for the first time ( it wasnt my first visit to the US) being on that road for the first with all my stuff in the car I started shaking and crying because the last time I got on that road before was when he brought me back to the airport to say goodbye.....

Believe me. Its worthed to wait. Hang on Its all going to come to an end.

I am so sorry that you are going through this and if there is anywhere that you can go and get support it is VJ. My fiance too has to 'serve his country' for a year before he can leave and so we kind of timed the K-1 that way so that the process would not interfere with his work.

It has been 10 months since I have seen my fiance. In September or so I told him that the next time that I would be able to see him would be in July and he was all like "That is soooooooooooooooooo far away. Why can't it be earlier. I wish July was tomorrow" and on and on and on. In the meantime we talked every day and kept ourselves busy with work.

Yesterday when I was talking to him he said "I can't believe it is June already and you are going to be here in less than a month". He now thinks that the time has flown by and wondered why he ever thought 11 months was going to be such a long time.

Just keep yourself busy and finish your obligation to your country/debt to society. In no time those months will fly by and you will be with your honey until the end of time.

Keep positive!!!

Hey everybody,

Thank you so very much for your replies and kind words.

I know that I dont have as much right to complain and be impatient since there are so many more people that are going through the same and maybe even worse hell than I am at the moment. I guess it's the selfish me speaking.

I really hope that every single one of you guys are going to be with the loved ones in no time. I honestly hope so

Once again

THANK YOU

Elena

Hey El, Sorry to read about this. Time will pass quickly! You just hang in there lady! I may be in Odessa around the August. Maybe Karolina, you, and I, can meet up and have a celebration. It will be near the end of the 3.5 months! Also, Karolina's birthday is on August 29 too!
