Why is it taking soooo long!!!!!!??

I just need to vent my frustration. The IV bill was generated on April 3rd and I still haven't received it in the mail as yet!! I'm sooo anxious and frustrated. Why in the world would they take so long to put the thing in the mail after they generate it? What are they doing---staring at it? Come on!!! Each day that passes is one more day that I'm not with my husband. I'm tired of this #######.

Why don't they send you ALL the bills at once-you pay them and then they send you ALL the packets at once, you send them back; they enter them in the system and close the case? That would save sooo much PRECIOUS time and families can get to be together sooner. That sounds much better than to be playing tag with the mail.

This is ridiculous!!!!!!

HI,

I understand your frustration. I also went through this frustration of waiting for the IV bill. It took almost 5 weeks for it to get to my husband. Anyway Now I am waiting for the interview date since March 3.

Hang in there it will be there with you soon.

Hi...

I have often thought that myself. Why not send the bill with the form and pay it upon submission?

Why generate so much paperwork to begin with? All of the back and forth stuff buys them time, I imagine. Sucks for us though...

The waiting took it's toll on me so much that I actually felt like I was about to break last week.

Sadly, I took it out on my husband (which was terrible), and spent the weekend with a big frown on my face. Worst part is that we never really argue and I was being SO horribly difficult. We made up-but I still feel so horrible.

The reason was- I am in the middle of waiting for my co-sponsor's birth certificate to be corrected-the city spelled her name wrong-TWICE !!!! So, I am stuck in I-864 purgatory. I have hope that this whole thing will be resolved today, as she is going to city hall to show them how to do their jobs properly.

I needed to take a step back from all this stuff-it was literally making me ill.

I understand you completely-but a little piece of unsolicited advice...don't let it take you down with it.

Time will pass, and you will be with you loved one. Take a deep breath and keep that thought in your pocket at all times.

Best Wishes,

Rose

FIVE weeks!!!? Oh my goodness-that's scary!!! Thank God you passed that hurdle though. Well hopefully you won't be waiting much longer for your interview date. Regards,

Hi Rose,

I'm sooo sooo sorry to hear about the drama you're going through will the birth certificate. That's crazy!!! I know it hurts to know that that one piece of document is holding everything up.

Thanks for your encouraging words. I can't sleep, concentrate or stay happy--this entire process has been going on too long (from California Service Center issues to this)--but as you said-"time will pass". Thank you.
