I was just wondering how long it has been for most of you since you have last seen your significant other? It has been 79 days for me.

95 days. Last time I saw my husband was at 9:35 am, March 13, 2008 at the Hilo Airport.

But Chris arrives in 2 weeks on Canada Day :D

Well, with the working together and living together...I can't shake this guy! ;)

But, I will say that all of the waiting and all of the missing him has been worth it-so now we are together and making everyone nauseated with our cuteness. Our evil plan is working. Muahahahahahah!

I guess that's why I like VJ so much, seeing couples get united after waiting for so long.

There are some strong people to be able to go through such a long time apart!

The longest we have been separated is probably about 2 months, but since we have gotten serious enough that we both know that we want to be together always we have been lucky enough to see each other every two weeks or so. I was pretty worried that once we submitted our I-129f I would not be able to visit until I got my visa, but from what I have read on here it seems like it should be ok as long as I carry a lot of paperwork with me. I am going to have a pet visa file copy :lol:

  • 7/7/08 -- I-129f sent
  • 7/9/08 -- I-129f received at CSC
  • 7/24/08 -- NOA1 (finally!)
  • 12/2/08 -- NOA2 (WOOT!!!!)
  • 12/8/08 -- received at NVC
  • 12/22/08 -- packet 3 (with packet 4 attachment instead of checklist :P)
  • 12/29/08 -- packet 3 sent back with bits and pieces that I pulled together to make up a packet 3
  • 1/5/09 -- actual packet 3 received, but found out by via e-mail that they were satisfied with what I had already provided
  • 2/10/09 -- found out via call to DoS that my interview is scheduled!
  • 3/16/09 -- interview!!!! APROVED!!!
  • 4/7/09 -- MOVE!!!!!!!!
    Crossed at Detroit/Windsor Tunnel... pretty painless, about 45 minutes, inexperienced officer, asked for and received EA stamp
  • 4/13/09 -- Married in New Orleans!!!!!!!!
  • 5/30/09 -- Filed AOS/AP/EAD
  • 6/1/09 -- AOS etc received in Chicago

I last saw my husband on Monday, Jan 21/08 so I guess it has been almost 5 months. That is the longest we've gone since we met and it has been hard even though we have both been busy with work/school (thank GOD)!!

Michelle (in the UK) you have my sympathies...

We have always met in Canada (he is in Spokane and I am in small town MB) but we have had a house for over a year now which I have not yet seen (in person) and I just can't take it anymore so I bought a ticket to visit July 2 for 2 weeks. I was super excited for about 45 seconds... now I am just super anxious about getting across the border!! Please send me your positive energy for early, early morning July 2.

Michele

A few deep breaths on July 2 and you'll be through Customs before you know it. A couple of weeks and you'll be with your loved one. Very nice way to spend 4th of July and get to see your new home!

I last saw him March 3, 2008......hoping to be with each other again by August on his 2nd visit. Though we haven't missed a day of talking online. It's worth the wait.

Good luck to everyone!
