Well,

Jackies original thread was so helpful when I was waiting for my husband and I think it also helped many others....

For the ones still waiting and for future filers, come one come all. Keep each other company while you wait and if your SO is already home, be there for the ones still waiting!

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I am waiting....and this process is wearing on me ....I see other around the same time as ours getting approvals .. I am about few days from the 4 month mark so i am trying to have a bit more patience....

I did email my Senator to ask if they help in such cases if i need to in the future. his advisor emailed me directly back the same day(impressive),they advice me to contact my Congressman.. but i have not yet ..

Thanks for being there everyone....

I do find it odd that they told you to contact your congressman. Senator's can be of assistance as well. But supposedly the congressman has a little more influence over consulates (I didn't see it).

I think it is a wise idea to enlist their help in advance. Hopefully you won't need it, but if you do they can step in immediately. Good luck with your journey.

Waiting... Interview was April 15th in Damascus.

SO is not a resident of the country he is staying in (fled Iraq to Syria) so getting a "temporary resident" card is getting harder and harder as he has been there for quite a while. Interestingly-the cost keeps getting higher too but the validation dates are getting smaller. Insha'Allah the visa approval will come through soon.

ah. the longing....

We went through the same thing, watching others with similar and newer timelines getting approvals and reunions before we got approved. It was hard and I know how you feel. I hope you hear something very soon. I also asked for an inquiry from my congressman and they were uber helpful in keeping us up to date on the status of the petitions at VSC. The rep also wrote an email when Y got his interview.

Good Luck!

K3 still in AP, probley will come out when case complete with the CR1. Funny thing NVC told me Friday to ignore the $70.00 they sent me, I never got it. I wonder since they know I followed CR1 if the K3 will forever be in AP with no chances of following it. I did fax embassy and asked what happens if CR1 interview is after the expiration of his card "in a way hoping they show mercy and give us a early interview date" anyways, should hear from embassy via email in am. I dont know, does embassy care if interview is after Nov. 6th and he is still there would they issue visa? After all, France has nothing to do with it, right? he is not overstaying a visa in USA which is a ground for denial/ I know Im thinking far fetched, Im tired, stress and so drained of this whole process.
