Checked this morning, and I'm touched again. I'm hoping approval comes soon.

Kits, I know it's tough and it's heartbreaking and the time apart is heart-wrenching and it feels like u can't do anything at all to make the other person feel better. I am guessing we have all been there at at least 1 point during this process and may be there again before it's over. Take faith in that u are taking the steps to say to your partner I am willing to go through this horribly, long, extended, stressful process for u and only u. I love u more than words can say, and I'm willing to go to whatever lengths to spend the rest of my life with you, because u are my soulmate, without whom my life would be incomplete, and I won't be whole until we are married and living together forever. It does look like there is a lot of action at the CSC these last couple of weeks, so take heart and keep courage. It's a long process, and ur screen name is appropriate, cause we all gotta have faith in God and his plans for us. He will lead us through the tunnel and through to the other side. Good luck to all who are still waiting!!! (I include myself until I hear of an approval for sure

)
Thanks a lot.. Faith is her name.. so she is MY FAITH.. she keeps me strong.. I know I couldn't not do this without her.. and I know without God I cannot do anything.. so thanks and let's continue to pray for each other and those who are still waiting for their approval.. God bless
Kits, I really know what you are going through. My fiance and I have been going through it OVER and OVER for the past 2 years. Seeing eachother for 2-3 months, then being seperated for 4 or more months until the next time we saw eachother. The waiting is excrutiating- and I can admit that when we're seperated like this, we're stressed and easily bicker even about the most ridiculous things because we are way to emotional from the seperation. Your NOA1 is after mine- and I just got my approval last week. Just hold in there. I know everyday seems like an eternity apart- but I can honestly say (that for me at least) having the approval will relieve a lot of the worry and stress. Please hold on (for yourself, your fiance, and for all of us here hoping for the best for you at VJ), because the odds are in your favor to hear about your case this week.
I spend a lot of time crying about how much the seperation hurts- but I also feel relief knowing that once this is over with- then we can (all!) be together with the person we love for the rest of our lives. And, I also like to think that perhaps the worst will be behind us after having to go through such an ordeal before even getting married.

Don't blame yourself so much- I know that my fiance has no idea what to do when I'm upset- and I'm sure he feels just as bad as you (and he's not the USC!). You blame yourself because you love your SO and you don't want her to hurt- and that makes you a good person- the problem is not you- its the appauling way that our government deals with (legal) immigration.
You two will be together sooner than you think.

And until then- you should both know that everyone here is praying for your approval!
