When I first sent our paperwork in I thought he would be here in 5 months or less. I had no idea how long VSC stage was taking and no idea that Montreal was so behing until I found VJ. So now I don't even have the slightest idea when he could be here. However, here is how I feel about VSC. Whether it's logic or for the sole purpose of staying sane I don't know...
1. They tell us the timeframe for processing our paperwork...I-129F - Five months. So it ends up being 5 1/2 or 6 and its a HUGE deal. Yet it took most of us days or weeks to organize all the paperwork, wait for our SO to mail stuff, etc...but that's OK.
2. As most of you know our petitions are not the only petitions they get.
3. The way our government functions is all of a sudden a huge surprise because of USCIS? You haven't noticed our tax laws or the way IRS functions or the way our education or health system functions? Really?!
4. The firm/company I work for had clients that would pay hundres of dollars each month for our services, even though their file would be in the file cabinet for days/weeks because we couldn't get to it due to other more important matters or just the things that were put in front of us. 4(a) Ever take your car to a shop and they tell you it will be fixed in two days and when you go get it in two days they tell you we need two more days and then you don't get your car for weeks? 4(b) Ever have to wait for a bus/taxi/airplane that you paid for but something happened so you had to stay at the airport for a day/two? Not as you have planned but yet it happens............
THIS IS LIFE! We "choose" to fall in love with someone outside of our country, we choose to be with them and we choose this process, now we wait to get what we want!
I wait for things everyday here and there, for this and that, because of this person or because of that person, so it would really suck if I didn't have the patiance, love and whatever else it is taking to wait for him than none of this would be work it, now or when he gets here...
Don't get me wrong, the wait sucks, each day without him sucks, every night I go to bed and want to cry a river sucks, every day I come home from work sucks, phone and texting suck...but I have noone to blame for this and they no intentions of blaming anyone, what I want is coming and that's all that matters.....
