I just wanted to write this post to tell all of us who are going through this journey together to be strong, and patient. I know this is so hard for many of us but i am so hopeful, and sure that we will all make it through this long hard process. Sometimes it helps just to get a pat on the back. We and our future husbands, and wives, deserve a BIG Congrats for all that we have to endure through these hard times. I have a poem i would like to write for everyone to read i hope that it brings encouragement to everyone.

DON"T QUITE

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile , but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns out: When you might have won had you stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you can never tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight with you're hardest hit. It's when things seem the worst that you must NOT QUIT.

AJ1 Good luck to all of us!!!

What a great poem. I had been out of VSC, but constantly visiting K1 threat to bring my support to you guys. I know how depressing it could be from time to time. Therefore, we all need words of encouragement, something to sustain us and boost our moral. That exactly what this poem did to moral as many of us, as we are united for one cause.

Nice poem u got there.....We have to claim everything to be POSITIVE for us to hang on.....

wow! Thanks for the lift! Just recently we were told our petition was sent back to the USCIS and I thought seriously of just giving up this fight. But true love never gives up. I realized I have no choice but to keep fighting, no matter how long it may be. Its a difficult journey we have chosen to take, some days I am strong and Bala needs my strength and other days he is the strong one while I draw my strength from him.

Best of Luck to All

Thanks OP, I needed the pick-up. Sometimes it's easy to keep going and other days (like today) it just feels like this will never end... and I've only been apart from my guy for 3 months and some change... it's going to be 5 1/2 before I see him again... But we'll all keep going because, like many have said, we have to!

It's nice to come to VJ because people actually get how much this sucks.

A wonderful poem, and so true...how we seem to want to quit right on the brink of victory. There is no question that these types of relationships are a hardship. But shared hardships make the bonds of love and commitment stronger. Keep the faith!

I'd say, never give up. I was really desperate because I could not even send the K-1 and the divorce process took longer than it was supposed to. Every week we had one more bad news that was delaying the divorce date. Then one day we had 2 good news all at once and we know when its going to be over and I know when Ill start the K-1. So yeah sometime you feel you want to give up when its so close to be over. We will all have our day. We just need to be patient.

I'm trying to hang on. Today I am in a cry mood. I'm in the long, long, long wait in the Dominican Republic. It has been a year since we started our K-1 and I'll be lucky if he is here by Dec - more likely March '07.

I miss mi novio dearly and at the same time I'm nervous and excited about our future together. I want to be together and tackle the work of a relationship together.

I don't come to VJ often - it is depressing how quickly (compared to the DR) other consulates approve.

Best wishes to all!!

... let's keep the mojo going!

That's going to be my quote for the week!

The poem made me feel much better too...but, following the rest of events in my life I was expecting things to go wrong. Not to be pessimistic, just being prepared. I will run up my life's hill like a crazy farmer with a pitchfork to go where I need to get

Everything in life you have to fight for generally ends up being worth fighting for in the end

Thanks for the pickup

.....i saw someone's timeline, they were through TSC back in the old days when there was no IMBRA and even so, it took them over 5 months to get NOA2......

Jenny

Hang in there Jenny!!!! You are not the only one like this ... hehehehehe

Look at my story, I have done the Journey before only to FAIL at the finish line. She was denied because she ADMITTED to have used drugs to the ConsOfficer.

This put me in a emotional tailspin. I was depressed and heartbroken for quite some time.

Yes - I have not been to this forum in quite some time. Now, I am finding out that there is the "IMBRA" and petitioner's police background and more RFEs than before.

But -- I fell, dusted myself off and now I am ready to do it all over again. All in the name of love.

I am not sure that this is to cheer up but to give you some encouragement as I come back to these forums. I come back to re-educate myself on the newest dealings and to get encouragement as well as give it to fellow members here.

I hope I brought some cheer to your life.

Angel.

Hello, thanks a lot for sharing your story. I'm sorry to read that things didnt go well right at the finish line like you said, i do believe that things happen for a reason, so there must have been a purpose for that to happen. Still, i was glad to read this from you: I fell, dusted myself off and now I am ready to do it all over again. All in the name of love. ....... in the end, thats all that matter and counts, so, good luck to you too and thanks for your words!

Jenny

Each day is one day closer to being together!

That is the truth. This coming week may bring good news for us. Let's hope that USCIS, collectively gets into high gear and starts to crank out approvals, in big numbers. I am hopeful of that, as I want to chat with all of you in the AOS forum!!!
