Yes, this is a terribly long process to endure when you're so far apart and you're reliant on government processes and permissions to be together. It's understandable that each little step of acknowledgement from that process becomes very important in your life, and it becomes frustrating to see others achieving those milestones ahead of you.

The nice thing about time is that it passes. Each day is bringing you one step closer to each other. Today, you are further ahead in your process than you were yesterday. You are filling your time wisely and you will soon be together. When that time comes, all this will be a distant memory.

Hang in there, Sparrow. Your time will come. All the best in your journey to be with your loved one.

Thanks, I know we're 86 days closer to being together than we were.

Called VSC today and got someone who works there instead of one of the USCIS call center drones. She said our case is stuck in security checks. I don't know if that's a standard answer or what, but I felt a lot better when she said there appeared to be nothing "wrong" with the case. lol

I wonder what's holding everything up so bad. I gave them copies of like...every bit of paperwork I had including copies of his old visa & passport from his previous stay in the US hoping it would speed things up a little. HA!!!!

I really do feel good that I talked to someone who actually took the time to punch in our case and didn't just tell me it's within processing times. She was super nice. lol I was off the phone in 11 minutes, including all the time spent on hold & navigating the menu.
