I was thinking the other night about when I had to say bye to Sujeet at the airport in India, leaving to come back to the US after my visit, and thinking of that day still makes me have a lot of pain even though now he has been here for over 3 years. When I arrived at the airport, we thought we could go inside and check in our luggage and then go back outside to spend time together(my dad was there too) before having to go to the flight. It turns out, they wouldn't let us out of the airport after going in and wouldn't let Sujeet in. So I tapped the shoulder of a mean looking security guard and begged that I could give Sujeet a hug across the entrance and the man said no. So we held hands across the doorway, crying, and not allowed to even hug. I don't know if it's because I am pregnant but even if I think too much about that moment I start crying and it's been years! :P It was the most horrible moment of my life. We had to let go of each other's hands and say bye. I cried the next few hours, even after getting on the plane. I had already been crying the whole day before going to the airport too. I left India in Oct 2003 and didn't see him til Sept 2004 when he came on the K1 visa. I missed him terribly and just wanted to see him again.

The good news is, this will all be a past memory for you one day. Always remember though how it was to be separated and don't take it for granted how hard you worked to be together. There will be times when it feels like how you got together was totally normal and easy, as life goes on, but to think back on how it really was keeps you sympathetic to those still separated.

Married since 9-18-04(All K1 visa & GC details in timeline.)

I miss my husband so much it is draining my soul. I haven't seen him in almost 2 years. I never expected this journey to take so long. Our time apart has made us depressed. We dont go a day without calling each other. On my days off of work we spend the whole day togeather online. But this is not the same as being with him. He is giving up hope that he will ever get his visa. I will be leaving in 14 days to go spend 5 weeks with him :dance: Who know's maybe even longer. When I'm there I think we will start to talk about PLAN B, Because the thought of coming back to the U.S alone and not knowing when he will get a visa is too much to handle.

We are the same...never thought this would take more than 6 months. So difficult....crying and missing...and thinking the Government has no sympathy for us.....maybe they don't ....but, God will join us soon in His time. Hoping everything goes well with you both too...God Bless....

Sometimes it does hurt so much - I go places and I think 'Govi would love this' and of course at night it's the hardest being without him... He is taking computer repair classes like I suggested and his teacher was so impressed that he gave him a job - I wish so much that I could have been there to welcome him home on his first day at work. The holidays are so hard - both the big Nepali Hindu holidays that I wished I could have shared with Govi and his family and Christmas/New Year's... I am just praying that once I finally get the applications filed that this time next year we will be together.

Yes...this is how i feel too...Antonette is taking driving lessons there now...I told her how I wished I could see the video...and share those moments with her...I cannot focus on much now...only thinking of her and our lives together. Christmas is coming and I do not wish to put up a tree and celebrate...it would only depress me..being here without her too. Hoping and praying we all will be joined soon!! Take care and God Bless..... Thank you for sharing Pattu Rani!!!

I understand as well. We thought we would be together this Chritmas. I remember us telling each other that last Christmas. I filed November 2006 and really expected he would be here by now. I am the same I do not want to celebrate but am trying not to be too much of a bummer for those around me. It is very difficult, sometimes it feels like a dream a dream that you do not know for sure will come true because you do not have control over the outcome. All we can do is pray and hope for the best.

Oh man. My grandma sends big cases of honey from her neighbor's farm in Greece. But she sends them to my parents, so I haven't had it in ages (or any honey at all). Yummm.... I miss my honey ;)
