Anja,

I do not know, i asked that very question when i was in Romania and was told on both american and romanian sides that if born in Romania, He would be a romanian citizen and he would need a visa to get home to USA. I asked this several times, different people, even in person while pregnant i went to the embassy and asked, and i got the same responce. Its stupid. It was better this way anyway, our medical facilities are much better, and our hospitals are up to date and cleaner. I am happy that i made the decision to have our son here in florida, though it has taken alot of time away from me and my Edi.

Viki/bala i have had the same thoughts as you, and i think everyone here has, its ok to feel that way, we are all in stressful painful situations. It just helps so much to have people to talk to about it all.

Anja,

The baby's father is the Romanian cit and I am the US cit, youd think our son would have automatic US citizenship, i guess not, the visa process would have not taken long, but still, it was easier to go through ONE visa process than two, not to mention, at our sons age, im glad hes not in Romania. The Bird Flu, there was an outbreak of measles that killed many babies in the last months, and so on. Even my fiance is glad I had the baby here, though he misses us tremendously.

Just wanted to add that in there, i forgot

MrMrsKnight your sweet, and i guess i try to stay strong. I spent my first 5 months of my pregnancy with my fiance in romania, and was hoping to go through the whole thing with him, but found it safer and best to do it in the US, plus i found out id have to apply for a visa for both my fiance AND the BABY!! insane! i think i used my noodles wisely when i returned here to florida.

Ive been waiting now 93 days for my approval, i hope its soon.

Again it feels so good to have people to talk to. No one i know around me knows how i feel, they have their husbands and fiances with them, and im so tired of the "i understand" when they dont.

I pray for you MrMrsKnight for a speedy approval and arrival of your loved one, the same i pray for EVERYONE on here.

Tina I know how you feel too. Me and my fiance celebrated 5 years together over yahoo msger, and it was nice to be able to talk to him, but so darn depressing that it had to be over msger, and later over the phone.

This forum as well has helped me alot as well. To know there are other people in my situation its like a comfort. I lived a year in Romania with my fiance,and its been a year since I have seen him, and no matter how long I have been back in the states, it just does not get any easier to not have him there next to me in bed, or walking me to work (we didnt have a car in romania),or calling me at work asking me what id like for dinner, or reading to me at night before we sleep (his english is good, but he read aloud to improve his pronunciation which worked great), just the little things. Everyday is lonlier and more depressing, especially when im checking my email and not seeing that approval. My daughter, and mine and my fiances 8 month old son keep me fairly busy,but everytime i look at my son, it destroyes me knowing that he is not here to witness all of the firsts with me. And my daughter who is 10,anxiously awaiting my fiance because she says she loves him and cant wait to call him daddy for the first time. Its amazing that we can feel that enormous feeling of love, but be in such pain at the same time, the visa wait is the biggest pain i think ive ever felt, just because its the longest i have ever been apart from someone i love and adore so much.

I know alot of this was just rambleing, but its nice to get it off my chest, even if no one listened.

Tonight is one of those bad nights. I have my good days and bad days. I think nights are worse. You get used to that cuddle time at night, and now its just me,the tv,and whatever i can find on tv to watch. But tonight nothing is even coming near partially filling that emptiness even for a minute.

We just all have to stay strong some how, keep our memories fresh in our minds,and look forward to making new ones real soon.

Ok, I have a question. I tried to update my timeline. Well I had the NOA1 date wrong, i put the 19th instead of the 14th by mistake.Anyway i tried to fix it, and i pressed save. Well now all of a sudden i have 2 timelines. How do i fix this? It said to contact the admin about it, i have, some days ago, and havent heard anything back. Stupid question, but hey, gotta ask if i wanna fix it

I spent my pregnancy alone here in the US. Our son is now 8 months old. You can inform them about your pregnancy, but it wont help. Its a first basis kinda thing. Being pregnant will not help your chances. If it did, wed have ALOT of people getting pregnant and then filing for the visa. I didnt even bother to ask them, i filed my petition, and with it i added our sons birth cert. They will see it. If anything, its the best way to prove evidence of meeting your fiance within the past 2 years.

And congrats on the bundle of joy.

The medical in his foreign country is enough. If he has no proof of vaccinations he has had, then they can do some tests to see which ones are necessary so that he is up to date.

so he should not worry about his shot record and medical records since he was born being tossed away?

I know he has all of his shots, his mom even knows,as long as they can see what he needs without a paper stating hes had this and that, then thats fine.

Will he need a physical? i believe i read somewhere, that the embassy sends you to a private doctor in bucharest, that you pay for, and they give the physical and all of that. Thats fine, we are prepared for that, i was just worried about his Romanian medical records no longer in existance. I still cant believe that after you turn 10 years old they would throw away your life medical records. geez

My fiance is in Romania, and when he went today to his family doctor for his medical records they informed him that after 10 years they throw them away!! This almost caused me a heartattack!!!

Does he need THESE? Or just the medical exam they will have him get from a medical doctor in Bucharest? If he needs these from his town, since they are thrown away, what in the world is he to do? Can someone give me a shed of light on this? Im freaking out on my end over this.

that is good news, gives us all more hope!

and CONGRATS!!! it must be such a WONDERFUL feeling!!!

I too know what you are going through. Me and my fiance have been apart now a full year. I would have been able to file for the petition sooner but some major problems came up and then i had a hard pregnancy and after that it was just He**. I am sick of the bad connection phone calls, the text messenging, and the online chats. I have also at times questioned all of this, but it was more about, will our relationship hold out until the visa is issued. I have the option of moving back to Romania to be with him, but i know it wouldnt be good to our 8 month old son. I dont feel its safe to take him overseas just yet. Me and my fiance argue so much now, it is because of the distance, and the stress over the visa, i know this. But we always find a way to resolve things, because we love eachother, and the only thing we want in this world is to be together as a family.

If you love him, give it time and resolve all of your issues. Alot of people are right when they say you have time until your visa is issued. If you really have hard doubts about your relationship, and i mean super hard doubts, then maybe marriage would only ruin the relationship. Its not healthy to go through with something you really are having doubts about just because the wait is almost over.

I wish you all of the luck, and remember your not alone out there. When your apart from your loved one, anything and everything can cause hard feelings, especially when you have to resolve them over the phone or chat. Its heartbreaking, but as long as you love the person, anything is worth being together, even this long drawn out visa wait, and the arguments and fights inbetween.

gabby4ever, I lived in Romania for a year with my fiance, and all Romanians think that way about not getting animals fixed, this would be why the streets are over crowded with homeless animals in Romania. There are more animals on the streets than there are people! People get their pets fixed for health and pet population reasons.

I too have been waiting for my NOA2, i got my NOA1 on November 19. When i did a timeline on this site, it gave me a statement of "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as March 20, 2006*. "

I dont know what it means. My husband is getting so cranky because of the wait, he hasnt held his 8 month old son yet, and hes causing me to stress more than i was before. im 29 and have one white hair that i named after him to prove it.

I say we all go to CSC and sit inside til they give us our NOA2's

Im just so very glad to be able to go through all of this with other people. Before i discovered this site, i was alone with no one to talk to, or share feelings with on this wild,long,stressful,nail biting adventure.

Hugs to all!

May 2000- met my edi in Romania

May2000-December 2003 talked online,phone,emails, snail mail

December 2003- moved to Romania to be with him

January 2005-came back to go through pregnancy in USA

November 14-2005 sent I-129F

November 19-2005 NOA1

January 30-2006 never touched,still waiting NOA1

My FIANCE is getting cranky we call eachother husband and wife to saying that and out of saying boyfriend and girlfriend, b/c hopefully SOON we will be husband and wife.

venting is healthy, but after you have a reason to vent. Im on day 80 waiting for my NOA2, and ive given my opinion, but not vented yet, i think ill get to the venting stage when it passes day 100. The thing is, no one is going to get their visas in a matter of 2 weeks. The visa process is not for weak people, if you havent learnt patience, then this is the time to do so. If you cant, then you have a longer and more frustrated waiting time on your hands.

11-14-2005 sent I-129F

11-19-2005 received NOA1

1-29-2006 still waiting for NOA2
