I WOULD feel like that, but there is absolutely no movement in CSC. That does not bode well :( I feel like I am on hold.

I'm right there with you at CSC, pachacuti, and I'm feeling the same way. There are days when I'm feeling really down because there is absolutely NO sign of movement or life at CSC (July 17th STILL? they were processing July in November when we filed, and they are STILL processing July!). We had really hoped for a summertime POE, which would make life easy given my teaching schedule ... at this point I have no confidence that he'll even get here before Christmas, certainly not summer. Makes the days feel extraordinarily long and lonely.

We're now re-evaluating whether I should try to fly over in the summertime just to visit -- we were thinking I might be able to come and help him pack up/say farewells, but at this point I'd be willing to spend the $1000 plane ticket just for a hug again. :(

I feel that way :) I try and think to myself that another day equals another pile of applications they have gone through, ultimately getting closer to ours -- anything to try and stay positive :)

That's the spirit! I know while we see no movement it is really painful, but I trust it will soon. It has to!
