EAbbas,

Hang in there.....you never get more than you can deal with......so that means that you are a very strong person. Which is a true complement and from the Mrs. and myself wish you a day closer to you and your Mr. being back together. I'm still apart from my loved one also and it'll be a year in mid December. It'll happen, just when we don't see any light, it'll be bright with colors again!

Take care!!

Bob

I seriously don't understand what normal processing means too, after waiting 6 months i believe it's more lazy processing instead of normal processing.

I'm sorry you are going through the long wait of AP. I hate this process. I don't really know what to say to make you feel better, but hopefully AP will end soon and you can move forward. I've seen so many couples go through it, and I can imagine how it must feel. I really don't think I would have survived it if it happened to us, I really don't. It makes me weak in the knees just thinking about it...it puts a strain every place...God bless you and lots of love and just take it one day at a time. xo

Men are like stars ~ there are a million of them, but only ONE can make your dreams come true. I found my STAR...

I admit I didn't read everything you wrote but I get a bit saddened on your behalf seeing a new post made by you and timeline hasn't been updated. I normally don't comment on your posts since they are usually about AP and things I haven't gone through so I lack words and knowledge about it. But that being said, I truly hope for you that AP will be finished soon.

I know there are a lot of us on AP during the holidays but it seems to be more depressing this year than last year. At least last year we were moving forward with USCIS and the i130 and headed towards NVC... now we are at a stand still.. at least it feels like it...

im sure they are doing work and that our case really isn't sitting gathering dust but it really feels like it.

I keep reading that 50% of the cases are completed within a couple of months with the majority of them finished within 6 months leaving only those few cases to last longer.. those being either issues with background checks, relationship evidence, field investigations etc...but who knows which case we are...

I've already missed all of my first year of holidays with my husband... now we are headed for the second round... I'm depressed... all we found out was our case was fine, no worries, fbi reports haven't been finalized but they are working on that (two weeks ago) and we are still pending AP.

There isn't much anybody can say or do except wait for the time and it will be completed... I love my husband and he loves me deeply... all we want is our chance for happily ever after.. we want to start a family, we want to be together when it snows, we want to wake up and drink coffee together...and the list goes on....

I'm thankful every day for this man in my life... I just wish this part would end and our next step in the journey begin.

Just waiting for good news for us soon and for so many others waiting this painful AP...

And I just want to say thank you to all of you who send me messages of strength and Faith... Inshallah one day this really will end and we will live our lives blessed with our spouses!!!! AMEEN

I have followed your posts for a while and I just want to say to to hang in there and I knooooooooow that is not helpful because I can only imagine how you feel .. but fortunately you do have someone so great in your life and this cant go on forever surely.. I'm really wishing this all ends soon for you both!!!!

Awwww, I know this is so hard and especially during the holidays. It feels like I am only half here and only half existing without my soulmate at my side. Happily ever after will happen for the both of you , hopefully real soon. Hang in there, and best of luck to the both of you.
