Vocaledge has the perfect combination of humor and also telling me to F off when I need it. That's exactly what I look for in a friend. Cheers to @vocaledge for the laugh

That is the truth!

Man - you're a good guy - everyone here is.  We don't all have to get along all of the time, but at the root of it, I want the best for all of you, and I actually have genuine thought in my heart for each and every one of you - even @John & Rose who I feel real heartache for with every passing day despite our differences in the past.

Love you all - midday scan is in progress.... fat lot of good they are lately with such haphazard online updating but it won't stop me!

Running late for work. 

Mister has been really sick over night so I've been on the phone to him helping him regulate his breathing, encouraging to sip water, and check his blood sugars (he's a type 1) 😿

This is so damn difficult, upsetting, and infuriating that I cannot do more from here. 

Makes me feel sick and useless hearing he is ill or having a crash and I can only shout to to try and make him eat/drink and level out. 

 

Distance SUCKS. 

 

It's nearly a year since I last saw him. Cannot afford to see him until POE either. 

Ugh. This is a difficult few days. Lost around 4lb in the last 7 days from stress, running around and working extra. No amount of coffee or muffins seems to be helping. Almost at 200 days now and nothing. I just want to be there to help him now. Sod all the soppy, slushy stuff. I just want to help him get better. Then may w a hug. Maybe. 😹

 

Sorry about the rant. You Junecats are lovely, understanding, and empathetic. 💜

 

These are the kind of things which get me so riled up. I had an issue with my son where he had a leg injury and the doctor found nothing in the X-ray but my son could not walk for 2 months. I have little faith in Cambodia doctors, this is why I went to Cambodia in November because I needed to take care of my son and I was concerned for his leg. I flew him to Thailand for more scans.

 

Doctors tried to convince me to get an MRI whilst he was under anesthesia ($3K more). The insurance would not cover it, it is not brought in to the emergency room it was through an appointment. My coverage covers him fully IN USA and for emergencies only outside. 

 

Good news -> now he is totally better, it was a ligament strain not evident on x-rays. 

 

I wish you the best Lotts, my point is I totally relate. Normally I am known as calm, jokester, pain in the ### but I'm a bit on edge due to the distance from my son and his mom. I am so happy he is better or I don't know what I would be like now. 

 

Like I have, I hope you get the news you have been waiting for and your man stays well!

I also just wanna say, no disrespect to those who 'disappear' after they get their approval, I totally understand, but I'm not one of those people.

I'm in this with you all for the long haul.  Scans won't stop when I get mine, and I wont abandon you all... I'm here until we're all approved (at least the vocal people that I have come to know and recognise)...

 

Lets have some High School Musical - how much more American can you get, really?

I feel we're lacking GIF action lately so I'm gonna bring it from now on.

SIDE NOTE: That girl in the back row really needs a better bra.

[Jolie&Charles 172]

So fiancé tried to Call USCIS for the 1st time. The lady told him they are working on 1st June case !! He said that it wasn't true and is being deployed this week so would like to have some answers.. And SHE had the BALLS that she do not have to say that I (the beneficiary) can go to the US embassy in my country to ask them to put the petition on hold !!! 

When we know (tell me if I'm wrong) that this is not even a possibility ! And that at the NOA2 waiting stage there is pretty much NOTHING the beneficiary can do as its only between the USC and his country ! 

 

It's unbeliveable to be given such bs infos on the phone from them !! 

[Jabberwocky1969 127]

I currently work in Document Control processing. Hundred and hundreds of things moving around. I'm wondering if there are scenarios where newb employees are given really simple cases to cut their teeth on, the rest of the processors take the bulk of the cases and the supervisors get pulled in on the really tough cases. 

 

Are there fewer cases getting approved per day compared to other months in the past or has there been a flood. Who knows the total K-1 case load for, say, Apr thru July? This situation seems extreme .. what happened to the scan drops ?

 

What is certain is that they are not paying attention to processing legal cases as a priority.  The focus seems to be on border enforcement (USCIS boss riding around on horses and talking tough) , amnesty (DACA and TPS expiration for Hondurans) and deportation (massive raid on convenience stores yesterday.)

Contratulations!! 🤗😬 What was your NOa 1 date and how did you find out?

[Cabovercat 179]

Looks like it the patition was approved on the 4th. 188 days from NO1. 

This is seriously the best day of my life! So worth it!

I think I have the strength to survive all the paperwork and waiting ahead of us.  It just gets to a point that no matter how strong you are you just run out of gas....well we got it back! 

It's funny I was looking through all our texts messages from the 4th...😬 it must have been the most miserable day....it makes me laugh to think that it was really my best!! I just didn't know it yet!!!🤣😆😂

 

Thanks for all the support guys! Especially you talkative argumentive ones;) it helps me remember that despite it all we are all humans trying to get through life together

See you all in line at the NVC 😅🙄

I already know that I can be difficult at times.  You all have no idea how much Rose has changed me.  Maybe you can see it here if you have been around a while.  With all of our differences there is not a single person here who I would not stand up for.  Most people dont realize that it takes some very special people to not only fall in love with someone from another country but to spend the time, energy and even money to try to make their dreams and the dreams of their partners come true.  Most people think we are idiots because we cant find someone local.  The truth is we have a better understanding of what love is and what love can be.  It is so much more than most people realize.  What we are doing is not easy but it is worth it.  We will not settle.  We will fight for each other and occasionally against each other.  We understand what is truly important in life and we also realize that we are more similar than different.  Think about all of the countries, religions, cultures, skin colors, sexual preferences that all get together here as one big family.  We are the world.  We will not always agree with each other but we always respect each other even when we argue about minutiae that truly doesn't matter.  

 

It also seems like I really dont want to get back to creating those talking points for next weeks executive meeting that my boss  asked me to put together!!!!  😁
