This is sad that some people wait for so long. It would be more humane to be honest and reject the application, so the spouses can work on alternative options. One viable option that we still can control and follow thru regardless of the USCIS is to call ABC News, tell them your story, and have them film you selling everything, quitting your job, and leaving this country to be with the spouse. And state clearly why. There is only so much isolation, helplessness, and hopelessness a person can take... A less extreme option is to take long leave of absence (I'm thinking 4-6 months) from work and try to work things out there, so you'll have the time to be with your spouse and also time to maybe find a job there and live happily ever after. If you have to eat only twice a day and work three jobs to accumulate enough money to do this, well DO IT. We have become slaves of our current jobs, can't even imagine the life without them. It's time for alternative thinking, time to become free from USCIS, free from everything a person can be free from. Time to reclaim some of the power and control we think we don't have, or we think we can't have, or that we readily gave up a long time ago. Wake up, turn off that TV running "Friends" rerun and change your life. Yes, you can (to borrow a line from Obama ). Go for it folks, life is only 1, make sure to do it your way!

I will hit the 200 day mark this week. I have contacted my senator and was advised I have to wait until 6 months from the NOA-1 date has passed. It matters not that it took over 3 months to get that NOA-1.

After sitting in the Canadian immigration system for nearly 2 years with no progress (I orginally left the U.S. to join him in Canada), my husband and I have run out of countries to live in (legally) together. Not sure what kind of options I have left if the U.S. system drags on much longer.

It's a wonderful post you wrote, however, it's not always an option to pick up and go to your spouse and live there happily ever after when your spouse's country is in fighting, ppl are locked up in their homes for days because of all the rampant shootings and bombings. Let's face it, not all the countries that our spouses are from are safe. So we have to come up with an alternative to packing our bags and leaving. I'd like to wake up from the VSC nightmare. But ABC is welcome to hear my story of the sad life we ppl 200+ days are living!

I'm so sorry to hear about the K1's waiting for 200 + days too. I hope they will approve all of us soon.

Yes we are just sending out some letters. We have to wait after the 60 days for the RFE is up before we can write i think.

It's truly unfair they don't include the months waiting for the NOA1, it just adds to the frustration.
