the good news eventually it will happen!! We got approved fast and i am very happy about it but at the same time i do feel guilty too. I don;t know why some go faster than others all i can suggest is contacting your local governement offical and start them looking into it for you.

I literally feel sick to my stomach when I read about people getting approved in “21 days???” when I have been waiting almost 11 months. I don’t get mad at the lucky people; I don’t blame them.

I get mad at an unjust bureaucracy that supposedly works for “the people” and yet tells you one thing and does another and doesn’t care about lying to the people it is supposed to represent and serve. It makes no sense at all that new cases get worked on before old cases. A computer system can keep track of application received dates and queue them for processing in such order with no problem at all. It is one of the most basic concepts of computer processing and even manual administration processes as a whole; FIRST IN, FIRST OUT.

I get mad about life/destiny/whatever for allowing two people who want the same thing and are following the same exact path to be treated totally differently for no apparent reason at all. One gets approved and gets to be with his loved one quickly and the other must wait and wait and struggle and suffer.

Then I think about God and that there is a reason for everything, and that all challenges are opportunities to grow, and the big one; that “it is all a learning experience” and that there must be a higher reason or purpose for the separation, and that we must accept our destiny and have faith, and that at the end every thing happens for a reason and will make sense, and that we must be patient and have trust and think positively.

And it all sounded great and inspiring when I used to tell other people. But know that I’m living it; now that it is happening to me; it makes no sense and it all makes me sick to my stomach. All I know is that I have spent another day apart from the one I love. All I know is that it is night again and I wasn't there to hug her and kiss her good night.

Hey all,

No, obviously I'm not angry at any petitioners/ben's for transfers or quick approvals... I'd have to be a raging ###hole to project anger at those who had no control over the process... just as I'd be an ###hole to discount other's suffering just because I thought it was less than my own. It's really only fair that those transfers to CSC happened- and while I selfishly want our case approved now, at the end of the day those waiting longer should be approved first. Bottom line.

And I probably should get a hobby. Thanks for the advice.
