Thank you Mrs. Akindel for your very encouraging words. I have been praying incessantly every single day and so has my Tani. That is the only thing that keeps me going through the day, prayer and knowing I have the deep love of my fiance. This has just been a very extremely frustrating process.......one I really was hoping we didn't have to go through but.........we're here and I know we will get through it. We just wanted to marry before wintertime here. Hopefully we can still do so. Thank you again. May you remain blessed.

Hi Anika and Tani. I'm also from Philly

Keep your spirits up, things are going to work out, God does reward our sacrifices. Making a little trip to the state reps office is a good idea. I have struggled with the system in the past (outside the visa journey) for MONTHS and I got no where. Within ten minutes the state reps office solved my problem. Give it a try, what do you have to lose?
