Hang in there. Waiting is hard. We had delays which made the wait longer. One was because my (now) wife had lived in many different places since she was 16 and it was not possible to get a police report from all of them. She found a place in Moscow that could generate an acceptable report but when she arrived to pick it up, she discovered that the place was being raided by the police. So, she started over. I had enough vacation time that I could visit for a week every three months. Spending a week together helped keep the relationship fresh and helped us tolerate the wait.
