O.K........I just talk to a NICE lady at VSC.....she said the petition has been with a case wroker since November 1.......and was then transfered on November 17 to someone else......and it has been with them ever since.....she said she was unsure why it still has not been worker on......I told her it appeared that they were working cases in July and she would send a note to the floor to ask but was not able to report her response from them but she said it may stimulate something......she said about 1/3 of the case workers are OUT OF THE OFFICE on leave this time of year but she does see I am outside of the service target goal........but??????....................nothing......well Virgil Ric and I are probably together with a on leave ajudicator...........AUGH......NOW WHAT.......I AM GOING A LITTLE CRAZY.........OOOPs........I do not want to be back in the hospital......I have not had aproblem since I got out of there......so I am trying to only be a little upset........thanks guys....Lora

I would think that if adjudicators are out on leave they would transfer their cases to someone who was actually there working. It does not make any sense that they would keep some people in limbo while letting others get by

At least you know it is with an adjudicator Lora. Hopefully it means that your approval is coming soon.

We're gonna get it! (before Christmas!!.. i can dream. i just really don't want to go to yet another family gathering having to say I don't know. Thanksgiving was bad enough) I'm just trying to keep myself distracted. I've been getting into the Christmas spirit and santa-ing and baking and keeping busy. It'll be here one day!

No doubt this is hard. Just remember that this will be over someday, hopefully sooner rather than later

thanks........He let his last visa expire 2 years ago and there is no way for him to get another.......and travel is not possible for me until the first week of January......anyway I do not know what the airfare in Dec to Europe is but south America is triple.......I am not rich.....so I guess it is better that I have to wait until January February for his interview.....I am trying to find a bright side to all of this....but God I miss him...........Just like all of us.........sigh.........

I will, as long as they let him in! But I'm not terribly worried they won't. He's come and gone like 9 or 10 times in the last three years so, it looks good that he always goes home. Do you guys have webcams and skype and the like to keep in touch? Or vonage for bizarrely cheap long distance ?

oh yes...what would I do without webcam........but nothing like just holding hands.......and our first big snow is coming and he has never seen snow.....I wanted so much to see his face when my kids and Oscar and i play in the snow the first time.....snowball fights, sleding making snow angels......I know that sounds corny but this is what I dream of.......a family life with a man that I love and loves me.......Come on VSC........please hurry

My husband had never seen know either.....he was taking pictures of an inch of snow and ice because he was so excited. He is in for a treat tonight with this storm we have coming!

Also, i used skype but it tended to make me upset. being able to see him without being able to touch him was torture. As much as I hate AIM, I almost preferred that to Skype

It doesn't sound corny at all! This is what we all dream of... a NORMAL relationshiop. It's the little things, like you said, like just holding hands. Just being together. Apparently, it's a lot to ask for us though.
