At this point we are both so stressed out. Khallid even asked me today what the embassy would do if he asked for his passport back!!! He does not want to give up,but he is even more discouraged than I. Poor guy has not worked for a year now because he is not willing to sign a contract to teach. He has had many job offers and there are days I fear he will buckle and sign one. I have been having serious chest pain today. I don't know if I'm on the verge of another panic attack or if it's something else. This whole process has totally shot my health to hell. Seems like there should be an easier way to all this.

Amy sorry to hear that your having a bad day today. I know this process is causing me health problems as well. If you need to see a doctor again please do so. Hang in there and it has to come to an end soon. Hugs

I know you are having a hard time Amy. Please try to stay upbeat. I hate seeing you so torn. I don't know what is up with TNT, odd one day they had all his information and a few days later they knew nothing. Maybe they were just playing with his mind. That seems to be the game with the embassy so maybe they are being like them too. I know it's hard. Really, if I was not here with my love now, I would be out of my mind. HUGS

This is the hardest part Amy when you actually did the interview and are waiting when they will give ur fiance his visa. Believe me I know how you are feeling. It's just an out of control feeling and it starts to interfere with ur daily life. The hardest part for us is to be out of control and totally at the mercy of someone else. That just made me feel like i was going into a depression. You would think us Nurses would be able to handle a difficult situation like this, but when it's actually happening to you and you have no control over what is going it just totally takes control of your life. Finally i just said you know what i have no control over this situation and i just have to wait for them to get their act together. It's easier to say that than do it, but once you accept that it's not in your control the feelings get better..better but not easier. If the stress is getting to you. You might want to talk to someone about it. I know you can come here and post, but it doesn't take the place of sitting down with someone and telling them you know what this whole process is starting to affect my health. That's the bad part. You need to stay healthy and keep yourself well.

I hope this ends for you soon because the unknowning is a b*tch and can play havoc on ur life if you let it.

Take care yourself first and foremost!!!

You know, I know this probably won't make you feel better right now, but what Angel said made me think. Going through this has to be a good experience for you as a nurse, to help you understand how difficult it is for your patients to do what you're telling them when they are stressed out, after having been through it yourself.

I've always believed that we go through things for a reason, and maybe this is to help make you a great nurse. I know that isn't terribly encouraging, and I do feel for you. I know the wait would be making me crazy too.

Has he tried giving them some money to help them remember to deliver it? Abdel had to do that to get his packet from the consulate or I don't know how much longer it would have sat at the post office undelivered.

LOL oh yeah, he has even mentioned money to them. They just say now they have no records of that darned visa
