I'm sorry Yasi it's taking so long. I know it's frustrating and many other words that i can't even write here. I'm in the same boat here, just waiting a little less (13 months since i've filed). Take one day at a time, try to live your life (or pretend for your healt and wellbeing) like it's going as you want it to. My last 'deadline' was to see him by the end of summer, lol. Now i'm waiting till November. I know it's not something you wanted to do - wait, but you will get through and it will be all right, girl! I know it will, and i believe it too; same as for me. OK. I don't remember if i read if you got anyone else 'working' on your case like a Congress person or someone like that. Have you tried that? I know so far it's not helping my case, but who knows? Maybe it'll help.
I keep everyone here on VJ in my prayers, so you're in them too.
hugs
Tanya
Thank you Tanya... I have contacted a congresswoman, Senator Boxer, emailed FBI, and called FBI yesterday. I was told they can't say since the checks are being done in Washington DC and they're back logged. I just have to wait.... I will keep trying to find a way.... Thanks for your prayers... You're in prayers as well.

Yasi, I want so much to offer you some magical words of wisdom, but I just don't have any. All I can say to you is what I keep telling myself... at some point in time (and only God knows when) this part of the journey has to reach a conclusion.
As I said in another thread, Mohammed reminded me to stop thinking about the visa and about "tomorrow" and to just be happy with eachother as we were before the whole visa nightmare began. I know it's so damn hard to put those dreams away. It's like cutting off an arm. But the dream remains, your love is real, and tomorrow always comes.
I'm feeling you. I'm here to help if I can. Hugs.
I know what you mean. It is very hard and the worry keeps getting in the way. Every morning I wake up the first thing that comes to my mind is when and how long more... when do I see him again. Sometimes I have no energy to think about it. I am mentally exhausted... BUT I still go on and pray that God takes me through this.
Best of luck to you Jean... You're almost there... Hang in there. You're in my prayers.
