One of the hardest thing to attain is communication with God. Another is having patience and being true to it no matter what happens. The other is keeping peace in a world where hostility bombards us daily. In this visa journey, we have had to attain all three in order to survive. For all of us who are waiting, I only wish that through prayer and patience we may find our peacful day in the coming months. The day when we can look onto the airport and wait for our loved one to arrive. The day when we may wake up to see them next to us. The day when we can look back on our months and years here with those who have supported us.

I wish we will all get our day.

May God bless us all

This post is heartwarming and uplifting...this journey is a challenge for each and everyone....some journeys are quicker some longer....however we all suffer separation from the ones we love...and that is a challenge....I find strength in so many of you here and have found so much support in so many....thank you for your words Tammy

This brought tears to my eyes!
Thanks

Well we have been in AP for 1 year 1mo and 6 days I have No patience left. I feel i'm looseing hope. And I use to dream about meeting my husband at the airport. And running into his arms and hold him so tight. And I use to imagin the other side of that bed full. And waking up to them big black eyes. Those thoughts and dreams have just somewhere disapeared.....I hate feeling this way

Cheryl, this long process has robbed a good many of us of our joy. There is nothing worse than not having hope anymore. You musn't give up or give in. You have come so far already! Please keep your visions of the airport and the bed and never stop believing it will happen. Encourage yourself if need be. And above all else, keep praying. You cannot change yesterday and you cannot predict the future, but you have today which is a day closer to your visa.

Hang in there Cheryl, the whole thing just sucks, nothing else to say. I feel your wait will come to an end soon, and you will be with your husband.

This process has seriously sucked the hope right out of me so rarely rarely do I vision that airport scene. The hadith in my siggy is helping me along with looking forward to my operation. I think I'll start freakin' out like a crazy woman again once I'm back from that and he's STILL not here. 7 1/2 months of AP and counting.

Hang in there, I'm holding your hand! I searched ALL DAY yesterday for David Potter's email and came up with nothing!! Subhana Allah!! I'll try searching the forums to see if someone has it posted somewhere insha Allah.

For all of you that are still waiting I remember all to well the emotional rollercoster that seems never ending. I had to learn to enjoy the time that I had spending online with Hasan and also try to enjoy the day I was living in at the moment and the friends and family that I was around.

For whatever reason God's time is not what we want when we want our SO's with us now. I had to learn a great deal about God, I became so very close to Him and learning to have faith and rely on the faith to get me through it. I was in constant prayer and through VJ's learned to not only pray for my husbands visa but for all the ladies and men on here that where going through the same thing. I learned so much about others, culture, religion, faith, friendship, prayer just to name a few. If this wasn't a journey I would have never learned so much. I had to start looking for the positive in things and support and lean on others. I know that hind sight is 20/20 and it is easier for me to say these things now because Hasan is here now, I remember the journey though.

Please don't ever stop praying for the day that he arrives.... Standing there waiting for him to walk out when it seems 10,000 have departed the plane and you heart is racing, wondering if something happend, did he miss his flight and a million things running through your mind and the people stop emerging and you are very nervous and then you see the face of your loved one and a tidal wave of emotions flood though and tears strem down your face and you embrace. I will never forget the billions of emotions I felt at that moment, I thought I would never let go. The struggle, trials and tribulations that we had to endure for him to be on US soil, to be able to begin our lives, to feel whole.

all i can say is i wish my husband were going through jordan like yours did!!!! I would kill for the ap that you had!
