This process is taxing on your emotional well being. What makes it even worse is the lack of control; the mere fact that you don't know WHEN your case will be adjudicated drives people crazy. A coping

Took 6 months for my hubby and me to get NOA2, my thoughts to you would be to study the information in the guides on this site, and read the forums. You will get a good idea how long the process act

This has got to be the worst process. Married but apart.... This is too much now.

Terribly sorry,

but

your NOA-1 date is 2014-09-05 .

What lead you to believe that you'd trip under the 5 to 6 month normal processing duration?

Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Thanks for the sympathy. (I think). I don't care if it's 5 weeks, I want to be with my hubby. And at the end of the day if I want to vent let me vent or trip as you stated in peace! Thanks :). I obviously know it's a long wait. That Doesn't minimize my desire to be with my hubby or to complain about the process

Darnell...thanks for making me laugh. It lightens the load. I will read up on your case when I get home tonight. Oh and I didn't know about the september filers thread. I'll join tonight as well. I guess I was hoping for a miracle like some others received. But it's all good. Take care and thanks again homie!

Hint: Switch to using a PC for real research here at VJ. Using a handphone will suck, major suckage for real web portal Immigration DIY stuff here.

Its like I dont get it how there are petitions getting approved in less than a month!!! smh...

Neither do I. Either there luck is very good or ours just sucks....some approved in a few weeks. Why can't I be that darn fortunate. Like life is so short and time is so precious. Tired of skyping, texting, calling, etc etc. I want the real thing!! Ok ...I'm done ranting.

Omg why 11 months? Did you get your Congress involved? Did you place service requests? What was the hold up?
