This Wait is Like A Slow Cooker

It’s been 181 days since I-130 was received by USCIS and boy oh boy! I’m ready to call somebody. I miss my doggone husband. We probably should have done K-1.

They take about as long and when you come to the US on CR1 you can work right away. On K1 you would not.

I’m aware of that. I’m not concerned about him working right away. We got married first to avoid all the AOS business. But gee whiz! We ended up at Potomac.

You couldn’t pay me enough money to do a K-1, no way on earth. Keep the faith and it will happen in the end. 

 

The wait is horrible, it causes real physical pain. But I promise you it’s worth it. The moment I walked through the door into the arrivals area at the airport on December 19, 2016 (my POE day) and saw my husband waiting for me...I have no words to describe that feeling.

You are right, whatever pain of separation it is all worth it when your fiance/spouse arrives.  My spouse was just approved after a 3-1/2 year wait. It helps when you can visit each other in between.

Girl! I could taste it. Thanks

I’ve visited 4 times in 15 months. The time in between trips is getting shorter because every time I come back I miss him more. Thanks
