I'm actually quite shocked at the lack of empathy shown here in the responses. The OP obviously is very lonely and has no means to get around, to socialize or even go grocery shopping.
To the OP: I know things are hard at the moment, and you could be waiting a long time to hear back from the USCIS, but it will get better. Stay strong, Skype with friends and family to take the edge off of the loneliness, and maybe take some online courses or study for a GED (if you do not already have equivalent qualifications or better)
I hope this one little posting makes you feel better, you aren't alone, I was very much in your shoes feeling like a caged animal at times. I hope things get better for you

I filed last February too and transferred same date as yours and yesterday my status was on card production. I hope yours will be there pretty soon.

Why America, why? Your bread tastes like cake and lasts a ridiculously long time in my cupboard without going green. Lots of my food time is spent dreaming of white bread cheese sandwiches or white bread bacon butties with butter and HP sauce. Warburtons blue packet usually. I spend wasteful dollars on all these different kinds hoping one will taste normal. I don't fall for your 12/8/6 grain, wholewheat, bran nonsense anymore because I know they all taste of sugar and ruin my toast and sandwich experience. The list of ingredients are enough to send the health board into a spin.
It's not normal and it hurts.

Thank you to everyone for your replies, sorry I haven't replied sooner. I've been forcing my husband to take a day off here and there and just for him to relax and unwind. I've told him that 23 is no age to be giving himself ulcers and getting so stressed out.
Things have been happening:
*A few nights out socializing with our friends - who neither of us have seen because of work commitments on his part for a good 6months+
*After making him take me to buy pots and pans, all manner of kitchen gadgets, and a huge amount of grocery shopping I am content with spending my time teaching myself how to cook -he's also very happy with the outcome of that too, we're both losing weight ^.^
*I've also taken a liking to using my elliptical more!
*In our recent excursions with friends I've also made a couple of female friends and we are planning on going out shopping together soon
*My driving permit is on the agenda for next week!
*I'm also studying for my GED (only finished school and left college without certification in the UK)
I came to truly realize that I wasn't alone in my feelings but I also realized that I was the one who had to change a few things too. Complaining about what I couldn't do made me lose focus on what I was good at.
Needless to say that my husband snuggled me into his chest last night and told me that he was so thankful he fought to have me here, and that he's the happiest he has ever been. That was priceless to me ♥
So again, thank you all for your advice and kind words.

Today has been a long, tiresome, anxious, stress filled and eventually a wonderful and teary day.
After a light grilling at the interview over my arrests, the CO was happy that I am a good person and APPROVED my visa!
I got home to be greeted by an uncle and aunt who took me out to dinner for a nice celebratory evening
My uncle also presented me with my grandmothers wedding ring. She had told him before she passed away that I was to have it when the time was right and I had a real man and a real future
My flight home to Justin is booked for the 8th of November.
I can't wait to see him again
I haven't slept in almost 36 hours, so I am going to sleep soon. Tomorrow I will put up a post on my blog for other VJers to see what to expect at the LONDON Embassy~

As a lot of people have been PMing me about the arrests, I'll give an overview of that part. This is taken from one of my conversations earlier.
Also I put up a short blog post on the days activities like I said I would

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for the help and advice, you've all definitely pleasantly surprised me with how helpful people can be.
Nich, on the other hand, as I'm sure you get a lot, your attempt at a condescending tone is neither cute nor effective. If you'd stop to read instead of jumping the gun to flamebait with words with supposed negative, condescending connotations like "Mommy," you'd see it was for a medical exam, not a "bride shop." So before you offer your obviously flawed and unmerited supercilious response, try to comprehend a little more.
You also chose to conveniently overlook the offer for employment, as it couldn't further your attempt at demeaning a stranger only asking for polite input. In short, if your advice was accurate, yet your attitude bad, it might have been permissible. The former was obviously not true, based on your deliberate avoidance of important aspects, but the latter obviously is. Thank you anyways, but your "help" is neither wanted nor needed.
As for the rest of you, again, sorry for my brief sidetrack, but thanks everyone for the responses!
