I agree. This whole thing is very hard to get through...last time i saw my wife was 8 months ago and i know our interview wont be in november...I know my wait hasnt been as long as some people here but that doesnt make it any better. When you are recently married, all you want to do is be with your spouse...i hope my visa journey is reaching a successful end soon.

Good luck to you Nutty and everyone else that is apart from their loved ones.

This was copied and pasted from a post I did in the downunder thread a week or so ago,...

I just did a quick calculation,.

Since the first time hubby and I met in real life May 2002, I worked out the amount of time we have spent together. I calculated our actual time together as a couple,.

May 2002 to Oct 2007, so far ( i didnt calculate, the previous 11 months we talked before we actually met). In that time, minus, his two deployments to Iraq, visa waiting time, his away on school time, his training time pre deployment, and 3 months when I had to go home to look after my kids,..we have had a total time together of 17 months. and thats out of a total of 65 months, or 5 years and 5 months....BIG SIGH....

Just to put things in perspective...And I know what I was getting into when I married him, just wanted to tell my lil piece about the seperations i have faced, and believe me, i have had my dpressed moments also!!

No matter what the reason is for the seperation, it's hard. But for you, issues of long seperations will continue since your husband is obviously in the military. My best wishes to you....

I completely agree with all the posts. I am myself going through the same situation and even worse. I moved back to the US and started from scratch more than 1.5 years ago. Now, after everything was finalized my husband got stuck in administrative processing and has been stuck in it for over 8 months now without any timeline or guarantee as to when he'll get it. Contact DOS, Embassy, letters to congressman, Laura Bush...nothing has helped. My weekdays and weekends are all same to me...i keep myself so busy that i don't have time to think about the good times i had when i had a life with my husband...it's so painful that it's not even funny...i don't feel like US is my home anymore even though my entire family lives here...home is where the heart is and my heart is in Canada...why should I call this country my home anymore when it doesn't even allow my spouse to enter while i see illegal immigrants in every nook and cranny of this country hanging out with their families? Every day i feel more displaced and unsure of why we started this process in the first place. I am definitely moving to Canada in January if he doesn't get his visa by then...sometimes enough is just simply enough!

Thanks,

Kiny
