Yasi,

You hang in there girl. I know what you mean and only the ones that endure the longer APs understand the stress of this situation. I am praying for everyone to be reunited and it has been a long time since we chatted and I was hoping things had improved in your case.

Mary

Hi Mary,

Thank you... I appreciate your support...

I never experienced soooooo much frustration in my life. I pray everyday for guidance.

Thanks again.

Yasi,

Hang in there but vent like crazy on here.. thats what we are here for!!!

yell, scream, call them mother truckers. but, what ever you do realize you have support here.

maybe one day some offical will give us the cure for the AP disease.

That will be the day... Thanks Shon... You made me laugh...

I hope you hear good news soon.

Well... it was supposed to be in summer of 2005... now who knows... since we got stuck and lord knows when we're going to be unstuck....

Congratulations to all of you...

Yasi,

Thats terrible! then after he is cleared he has to go through this Chit again.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Yasi are you married? - please tell me you are.

ask your attorney once he is cleared from NVC can the case be Expedited..

thats ####### if you have to wait once again once it leaves the Embassy.

Damm NVC..

oh smokes. Yasi your doing all this waiting for a k-1.

oh my god!!!! we filed CR1 and will proble turn to IR1 before long.

You got it Shon... all this for a K1... And you're right we're not married...

I AM SICK & TIRED of all this #######... all over his name because it's a religious name... I want to yell and scream.... but I keep telling myself and him hang in there.

Thanks for your support Shon... You and a few understand what I am going through (no offense to anyone)... Like you said before when you're on AP, it's like you have a disease... and you know, it IS a disease... damn bad one too... since it seems there is no cure for it...

Peace

we are still pending

Sorry Shonnie! Durn it all.

p.s., when I first saw your new Avitar I didn't think about halloween and thought you had found something to express how you're feeling about the whole process...

That is actully how I feel..

tired of the lies and the waiting. 1 year 9 months from my Bingo...

it has to end any day now. we are day 101. in this one bloody security check...

I seem to follow you Shon...

DOS doesn't tell me anything since the case is still at NVC... NVC says they can't say anything since the clearance has to come from Washington agencies... I sent a letter with copies of everything to USCIS Ombudsman in Washington asking for their help... I don't know if they can help but it's worth a try...

I keep thinking he should've been here by now... this is the third Ramadan we're apart...

Do they realize what this waiting is doing to us? Any compassion? None obviously...

Pray for you shon...

Good luck... bring home the visa

Sorry I'm late...

Happy anniversary... may you have many many many more to come....

We're both born and raised in Iran. I came to USA 19 years ago. He left there 7 years ago and immigrated to Germany.

What makes him stand out... he is compassionate, caring and has a great sense of humor... I miss him soooo much

Congratulations Noura... So happy for you....

Happy B-day JP... You're just a baby...

Thanks everyone for your support.

Please keep praying for us.

Henia, congratulations on your decision.... I wish you the best.

Monday... hmmm... was up at 5 am couldn't sleep.

I am soooooooooooo frustrated.... Please this is not directed at anyone in particular...

I just can't believe that we have been waiting this long and nothing still... When I read others have their petitions forwarded to the consulate and have their interviews, it kills me... I freaking had it with this process. Why couldn't we have an easier time at NVC???? I keep asking myself why why why???

His mom has been calling him and crying that she wants to see him... she said to him "I don't want to die like your father and not to see you again". It has been 7 years that he hasn't seen his family. I don't know what to tell him anymore... He can't go back because the government will give him a hard time... he petitioned for his mom last year for a visa to Germany, she wasn't granted one. They didn't give her a sound reason. Just denied...

I feel sooooo alone and think no one really cares for us anymore. I pray and pray and nothing. 17 months is a long time...

Sometimes, I just want to forget it and say the hell with the whole thing...

Sorry, you guys had to read this (if you do)... I have no patience left...

Hope you all having a better day.

All I can say is WOW... I was not planning to visit VJ today... here I am and reading your post. Allah is watching over you...

Hope will come back to your life soon.

((((((HUGS)))))

Yasi

Congrats on approvals and green cards and EADS, SSNs, all that good cheery stuff.

I am sorry i have not been posting much on VJ no more. life sometimes tosses curve balls - gotta catch them or miss them. I am so tired of this process and reading this stuff its slowly killing my sprits. I cant keep being like this. its pure hell. people just starting out get reunited faster than us. so you may have noticed my postings are few and far between. keep us in our prayers and I pray for some strengh - I am having a hard time coping.

I'm there with you Shon... It has been very difficult for me too. I don't know how long more of this waiting I can take

I'll pray for both os us...

Ok honey, I know you just got here but here is the guest lest for the wedding... we're inviting all my friends and family and all the VJ members... I think that would be about a couple of thousands people... hope your in the mood to party...

He tells me we can only have 16 people at our wedding...yeah right...

You're in my thoughts and prayers... This must be very difficult for you.

Listen to your heart... I know it's easier said than done. You will be fine. God is watching over you.

((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

Jean, I know how you feel... I crave hot tea and I can't waite to have some when iftar comes...I appreciate eating and drinking much more during this time and think of those who for different reasons don't have the luxury of always getting a meal or getting very little. I pray for them at iftar time.

You will be rewarded...

Congrats on your visa

Happy B-day... Wish you a wonderful year and many more...

Congratulations...

Congratulations....

Great news...

Mrs. Forgetful,

I have one word for you PRIDE. That's a very big issue with ME men. They've so much pride that it really gets in the middle of the things and doesn't make things easy. I have been dealing with one for 2 years now. You just have to let him be for a while. He needs to be in charge then he'll come around. They always do.

Good luck. I hope everything works for you.

One thing though, comfort him... not with words... they always say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach ... it shows you care for him and you're there.

Best wishes,

Yasi

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! It's hard because I'm having to be the support through this for me and my fiance, who doesn't really realize all that's involved in the process. And I might have given him false hopes because when we were researching our options back in late June, CSC was processing applications from early to mid May. So we thought it would be a lot quicker. Then IMBRA came along, and I've had a hard time trying to explain to him the beaurocratic process here!

I know how you feel and the waiting can be very frustrating when specially your other half doesn't understand... but you know it will come... you have a time frame that when it passes you can complain or voice your frustration. Imagine being on a name check for 17 months without any progress and there is no time frame. No one tells you anything... why because we're from Iran and have to pay for being from that side of the world even though I've been in this country for 19 years and he is been in Germany for 7 years... So stay positive and believe that you will have your day.

I wish you luck and more patience.

Good morning all,

Just got to work... no one is here yet... yipee... I'm trying to get some work done....

I had a dream of my honey too last night... He was going on a trip but he decided to stay with me since I was alone in a hotel....right where it was starting to get good .. . my alarm went off....

Have a good day everyone...
