Don't whine, be patient. NOA2 is just a step in the process that may take longer than Sept. Filed in January & got the NOA2 in June. Fiancee just received the packet, last week, which involves more info gathering & appointment setting on their end. Originally, we set a 7/30 date - ain't gonna happen. Next I was hoping process would be done by her b'day, August 12 - ain't gonna happen either! So maybe by late Aug or Sept, hopefully. :whistle: - So don't whine, just whistle & wait! :thumbs:

Totally perfect quote!! (L) I feel just this way, it's unbearable!! All I want to do is marry him and be together again, unfortunately I'm an idiot who picked a foreign boy and thought it would be a reasonable process (as if I had a choice, he's my soulmate, don't get me wrong!), so now I have to ask the government's permission. The least they can do is be efficient, treat us all with some respect. I sometimes think, how long would it take people to rebel if EVERY young engaged couple had to do what we do, had to wade through government forms and bureaucratic nonsense. PROVE to me that you are financially soluable. Haha yeah right, have you ever been 22?? I'm just trying to land a job. Luckily my parents are 100% on my side, or I wouldn't be able to marry him (yes I am back in the 1800s, please daddy can I marry him). Hopefully by the time we start the AOS process, I'll be financially independant. Phew okay rant over :P Just, dammmmnnnnnnn. Thanks VJers, we'd be lost without you!!!

NOA1: 4-08-11

NOA2: 6-24-11

Those two parts totally made sense to me...You can't choose who's gonna be your soulmate, it's just natural... And I said that to my fiancé the other day... What hurts/frustrates me is the fact that I gotta wait for somebody else -who I don't know, who never met us, who never seen us together, who doesn't give a ###### to us, etc etc- to believe that what we have is real... this is just CRAAZAAAYY!!! :wacko:

And the yes lol tell me if you was ever stable in your early 20's!!! Not even those officers at USCIS, NVC, Consulate, whatever!!! Ahhhh I'm whining because I just miss him so bad, and every day gets harder and harder to stay away :cry:

I thought once we actually got our visa I could relax but waiting for the summer to be over is driving me nuts. We decided for her to spend a couple of months wrapping things up and visiting her families and I swear the wait now is worse than the silence from the USCIS :bonk: On the plus side at least she has her visa so it is just ticking the days off.

I can't remember summer taking this long since I was about 8 years old and bored to death waiting for school to start

surely you can my friend! We all can whine here...

I'll do my last whine of the day, here it is:

I cannot stand being away from my man, I'm not waiting too long to see him I know but I'm almost dependent of his love that it makes too hard to be apart. I wish NVC could be smooth on us, and to many others here waiting, because I miss him like mad this month. We just sign off of skype has a couple minutes and every time we do that, it breaks my heart not being able to see his face until the next day... I want to be there, to wait for him to come home, to make him dinner, to ask about his day, take care of his injuries if he has any, to hug and cuddle, to be goofy watching a movie, to go sleep right beside him and whisper that I love him before falling asleep. I wanna be his wife, that's all. I know others could be hurting more than me, and I feel for them too... but I'm the only one who knows what I'm missing. :(

I want to wish you all a great new week, that is beginning. I want to wish you all more peace, more love and more patience (that applies to me) and luck, especially to my march filers! They're great!!! Love you guys!!! :luv: Good night from Brazil!

Totally perfect quote!! (L) I feel just this way, it's unbearable!! All I want to do is marry him and be together again, unfortunately I'm an idiot who picked a foreign boy and thought it would be a reasonable process (as if I had a choice, he's my soulmate, don't get me wrong!), so now I have to ask the government's permission. The least they can do is be efficient, treat us all with some respect. I sometimes think, how long would it take people to rebel if EVERY young engaged couple had to do what we do, had to wade through government forms and bureaucratic nonsense. PROVE to me that you are financially soluable. Haha yeah right, have you ever been 22?? I'm just trying to land a job. Luckily my parents are 100% on my side, or I wouldn't be able to marry him (yes I am back in the 1800s, please daddy can I marry him). Hopefully by the time we start the AOS process, I'll be financially independant. Phew okay rant over :P Just, dammmmnnnnnnn. Thanks VJers, we'd be lost without you!!!

NOA1: 4-08-11

NOA2: 6-24-11

Ditto to both! However I have more... here goes (clears throat):

I miss my baby and I'm sick of waiting. I fell in love with him close to three years ago and it has been both the best and most difficult time of my life. He showed me how to truly love and how to love myself as well. He showed me that I deserve the love of the most generous and gentle, kind and loving man on this planet. Every moment spent with him, every night beside him, glimpses of his perfect sleeping angel face during the night has been pure heaven and the moemory of those precious moments is what keeps me going. He is my soulmate, and to all of the people in our lives that say "oh well you shouldn't have picked someone who lives so far away", well they can just f**k themselves because we didn't choose we were chosen. Chosen to experience the love, trust, partnership, and pure miracle of finding your soulmate, the one person who utterly completes you. Many people go their whole lives without finding this so once you are lucky enough to find it don't ever let go. We say goodmoning over the phone every morning, text all day long, chat on webcam every night, but it's bittersweet. I can see his face but I can't see the most amazing glints of green in his beautiful eyes. I can't smell the scent of his skin. I can't feel the warmth of his breath. I can't kiss his lips. I can't feel the comfort of his embrace. I carry all of these things in my heart, and each night I take them out and visit with the memories of them as my tears hit my pillow while I wait for him. I love this man so completely, I only pray the government sees this. I pray we don't have to wait too much longer to begin forever...

D'aws. Sorry yours is still at USCIS, but considering the NVC climate right now, maybe it's no different. I'm sure you wish you could hear SOMETHING. I wish you the best of luck, you have the rest of your life together to look forward to, as my annoyingly pragmatic fiance reminds me :P (I still want it now though)
