Hi Moh,

Looks like you and me are in the same boat at about the same time-----AP!!! My husband's interview was on April 23 and when he left they didn't even tell him anything about AP, just gave him the white slip with NO BOXES MARKED, so I emailed the consulate and was told AP, we will contact you when completed. SOOOOOOOOOO frustrating.

I don't know about your fiancee's consulate, but I think my husband's is super slow (Cairo). I think all we can do is sit back, try to relax, and keep reminding ourselves that AT LEAST we are on the very last step, and try to remember how much we have accomplished so far. Just remember that after the AP is done, it's done, and then we will be reunited with our loved ones.

Inshaallah it will be soon, because I really miss my husband more than I can ever say.

Jackie, I think your hubby needs to book the next flight out and come home to you. I know you are going crazy missing him and not knowing from one day to the next what will happen or what he will decide.

Thanks everyone for your support.

don't know what it is, but lately I have been feeling really sad. I'm not sure if it is hormones or what. I feel like crying. Nothing really seems to make me happy. I keep trying to figure out what is wrong with me.

I don't know if it is the waiting game. the uncertainty of approval. being tired of my current life. I know I haven't been waiting as long as others and that I have a long way to go. But I am really tired of all this.

Things haven’t exactly been easy for us. Frustrations have been the name of the game lately, but like we’ve made it through before, I know we can keep making it through. I know we can get everything we want out of

life. It might take a while, but we can do it.

God I miss my husband every minute

:crying:

Zarqa I feel depressed and I'm not even really waiting anymore... I just get nervous a lot thinking about everything that can go wrong, maybe I should give up and just get some prescription chill pills.

Good Morning Everyone:

(((((((Jackie)))))))))

(((((((Moh)))))))))))) I really hope you are out of AP soon...inshallah.

(((((((Zarqa))))))))) I swear we all have those moments, those depressing times and the waiting is so friggin hard. I read your post and it looks almost exactly like something I have posted here before. So keep your head up...we will make it!

((((((MsMariah)))))) Your hubby will be here in a couple of days and you will forget all those depressing times!

(((((((Lisa))))))))) The countdown is on for you too! Yay!

Hugs to all my MENA friends. I hope this week is a good one for you.

Yes Zarqa. We have all been there and felt the same way, Im sure. It WILL pass and there is a light at the end of this hellish tunnel! It's normal to have periods of depression,emotional rollercoasterness(made that one up, it works tho eh? lol) and even the feeling of hopelessness at times. But they all pass. I hope this funk passes quickly for you. You are almost done hun

I know how you feel. I really think the issue is the loneliness. Being without your loved one on a daily basis is enough to drive anyone crazy. It really is very hard...

I know you feel depressed and feel like this is never going to end......but try to remember all you have accomplished so far: at least you have your first approval!!! From here it will get transferred to the Consulate and the next few steps go quickly. Hopefully you will not have the dreaded AP like most of us here have gotten. That's what my husband and I are caught in now.

Just try to be positive, and think about where you were a year ago. Not yet married, not yet filing the petitions. That's what my husband reminds me when I start feeling like this, he tells me to think about how far we've come and everything we have completed thus far. I know it's hard, and it's awful to be without your husband.....sometimes I put my husband's cologne on my arms at night before I sleep so I can smell him as I drift to sleep.......

Hang in there.

Thanks ladies for the encouragement my husband appointment is May 20; I'm so scared, all I think about is will they give us the visa? Will they ask for a waiver? (Husband got volunteer deported on 12/2004) I personally hire an experienced lawyer to prepare my waiver package; The I-601 is filed after my husband denied a visa. (she recommend to wait until visa interview)

I swear I'm going insane, I'm a strong person but for some reason right now I feel so weak and sad! I 'm sorry to ramble about this. I better go to sleep, good night

[Y's_habibitk 2]

Oh Zarqa. Im sure you are very freaked out. The only experience I have seen with waivers is that they do make you file them if there has been a deportation. But I dont know the difference between voluntary or involuntary(as far as the severity and need for a waiver).

Does the lawyer say that there is a chance that he may just get the visa or does the lawyer think the waiver is a go no matter how the interview goes?

Vent all you need to Zarqa...we are here to listen! I hope you are feeling a little better.

Good morning MENA ladies & Moh!
