I understand your frustration This is how we felt, we did everything and beyond. But this is just the way it is. At least you know that you will be just fine! You wont face any major problems and no one will stop you from being with your spouse Yes the waiting sucks but it sure is worth it, right?
You may have a distorted view on illegal immigration though. It is not easy for them to immigrate illegally. They are troubled with way more problems than us legal immigrants are, I can guarantee you that. Law, no way to work legally, fight to get a legal status, anxiety over anxiety - not knowing what will happen anytime soon. Trust me there are illegal immigrants living here without a GC for years and years... it's not THAT easy to become legal. Even though the media makes it seem easy, it is not. There are tons of requirements they have to meet.
On the other hand you just wait patiently and your wait time is a cake compared to their problems (escaping from their country and finding an illegal way to stay, hide etc.) Would you not agree? We went the legal way and it is the biggest pleasure to know that we did everything right and nothing can ever stop us Trust me, it's more than worth it.
I hope you wont wait much longer!

People fear what they do not know. That's true in Bavaria, or in Arizona, maybe especially in Arizona! My fiancé is from the UK, and there are a few people in my life who think it's ok to make jokes, "if he was from Mexico you wouldn't have to go through all this, he could just walk over the border like the rest of them." Hey, guess what? My engagement is not an opportunity for you to proudly display your ignorance!
Perhaps now would be a good time for you to learn a little "Southern grace," U.S. style. The next time someone says something hurtful or stupid, you just smile as sweetly as you know how, and say, "well, bless your heart," (or the German equivalent.) In Savannah, GA, where I went to school, that's Southern for "go $* yourself," and when done properly, it can make you feel a whole lot better. Best of luck!
