@blondedoc, I'm truly sorry to hear you and your husband going thru this.your story really breaks my heart. I wish you the best in your endeavors

As I´m sorry for all of you.

I made a promise to myself that I will create a blog to explain and show everyone who have been through this how hard is, but at the same time how it works for us to be a better person and a closer couple.

We all worth the best wishes because, have your loved one away from you is like live the real hell.

I don´t want it for anyone in this world.

And I´m thankfull for your words.

Thank you very much and all the best, from the bottom of my heart.

Sounds to me like you need another medication or perhaps some counselling.

All those medications have a lot of side effects (I tried some already) I found one that works ok, but not the way that is needed... I can´t make an upgrade with the dose anymore I´m at the daily limit already... Counseling? Ugh... Unfortunatelly no time and no money...

I´m living a day by day situation and let´s see where it gets.

I just need to be with my husband. The situation is so visible that when my busband is here, people from work dont need to ask. They look at me and know, because they say that my looks and face changes a lot.

Oh, I´m sorry for all of you...

Since me and my husband we stay sick without seing each other (I can´t be away from depression medications since "everything happened"), we could make a deal with our finantial life that we can see each other at least every 2 months, but is just for 6 days always.

I´m paying a price for it... 3 jobs, 90 hours weekly work to support the kids and everything here, while he raise money for the ticket to come, once we are in 3 here and he´s by himself to come.

It seems that by the time that the time goes, I stay more depressed even with medications and his support (by skype and coming here in a regular basis). I think I´m loosing the control of it - lost 5 kilos in a month and having rashes all over my body and loosing hair, cry at work, cry for everything, no sleeping -

I hope i´ll not loose all my health to join him the rest of our lifes together...

I don´t know what else to do. I´m lost. I feel hopeless many many many times. I feel a pain in the chest and just to write this I´m already crying.

That´s it.

I wish I could give some good words for those ones who cant´see their partner like me, but I can´t for now. I´m sorry.

I´m freaking out about it too...

I´m a doctor here in Brazil and even us (doctors) are not 100% secure to talk about how many time the virus remain active in the body.

I have been studying a lot about it these last days, and WHO (World Health Organization) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) are just saying: "we still don´t know"...

Maybe that´s why my I-30 is taking forever...

I´m scared that they will delay our process because of it. I even had a talk with my lawyer about it and he said that there´s nothing to do about, for now. I´m not pregnant, so... Nothing to do, unfortunately.

JUST AN OBSERVATION: We need a concerted, coordinated approach to the Zika outbreak,” said Møllmann, “one that fully respects the human rights and autonomy of those at risk." - See more at: http://physiciansforhumanrights.org/press/press-releases/zika-virus-highlights-limitations-to-reproductive-health-policies-in-affected-countries.html#sthash.e29o6pa6.dpuf

Handle their future immigrants from these countries. Once no one knows exactly the time frame that the virus stay active, these immigrants if they get infected, they can give birth in America kids with microcephalic condition.

I wish I could hear an opinion from someone who works or used to work in USCIS about this.

Thank you for joining me at this conversation!

So, the point is: why transfer? Lol

If it has the same timeframe?

Same workload? At least don't spend with mail...

I can tell you guys that I feel so ridiculous... I feel like a stupid, I swear... My kids had their I-30 approved and I didn't... What I can understand about that: they touched mine but they didn't made... Easy, right? sure that kids don't need background checks, but come on... Put a mother in panic like this? That's why I feel so bad...

I would tend to go with the CDC. Personal opinion.

Thank you for your opinion!

I'm so sorry, but I really don't understand what you mean. What do you propose to give up on? Having a baby? Immigration? If you are worried about having a child in the future (?), I would suggest you consult a physician who is proficient in your native language to learn some facts about the virus

Oh, I wish you coukd understand!

I´m saying about give up on having a baby after all this situation with this vírus in my country.

And... I´m a doctor!

Even the doctors doesn´t know what to say... There are no scientific statements about this vírus.

I don´t want to risk a situation like this.

I´m just worried... really worried...

What do you mean by "willing to"? The women should wait to get pregnant until after they've safely arrived in a Zika-free country. They shouldn't be "willing to" take the risk of having a severely ill child in my opinion.

Ok, I´ll give you an example (my example):

I live in a Latin country with the biggest recurrency of Zika and I´m waiting my immigration process.

I´m waiting my process get done and I get together with my husband to have a baby.

If my baby born with microcephaly?

I´m willing to have a baby after the process.

So should I give up?

No one knows how this virus works. If it gets a week to don´t make anything to the baby or if it gets forever.

This is the point...

The greatest risk of microcephaly and malformations appears to be associated with a Zika infection happening during the first trimester of pregnancy.

"Zika virus doesn’t stay in the blood for very long, only a matter of days. The CDC says up to seven days. But it doesn’t stay a long time like Ebola or Hepatitis C,” said Daniel Lucey, a infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University. Once the virus clears the body, it shouldn’t be a threat to women who might want to become pregnant."

Well, there are no studies enough to say that this is a certain thing, even because, this disease is an old disease with a huge recurrence in Africa and this is the first time that something like this is happening.

All the health authorities all over the world are saying different stuff.

I know CDC statements are respected all over the world, but I have no clue how they stated that before scientific studies about the subject. Every virus is a different one and they can react differently.

The risk?

And if someone could prove that the virus is ok after a week, great. But if it will be different?

Why CDC has an overview so simple and WHO is so concerned, once WHO is a worldwide comission and it dictates procedures all over the world?

Unfortunately I see a very bad future for those ones who are in this risk. No one cares. And it can have a huge price in the future. For the families and for the Country too.

It's being advised against becoming pregnant in these countries. Being in the process of waiting for a visa doesn't change that advise.

For sure the recomendations don´t change.

But It already happened in Haway a case of a brazilian who gave birth in America a kid with microcephaly.

Reports said that she got the virus in Brazil and went to Haway.

I don´t know about her story (if she immigrated or not), but the point is: what about the women who are wiling to have a baby after the immigration process? If something like this happen?

What do you think about?

Hi there!

I just want to read opinions about a situation.

WHO (World Health Organization) this week announced for the 4th time in the history a worldwide emergency with Zika virus. They asked people from all over the world to avoid to go to Latin America, specially women who are planning to get pregnant...

What about we (I'm including myself in this situation) women who are willing to have a kid after get together to our loved ones, and we are "stucked" in Latin America?

Who will "pay the bill" for possible babies who were born and will be raised in America with a possible microcephalic situation?

What about these families?

How immigration will handle that?

Thank you for the information, Kirankaur2997!

I just knew that my case was sent to NVC!!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

For me is even more weird... My kids got the NOA2 in 17th december and I didn´t until now... My PD is 08/19... I don´t know what to do...

So, I could write something about each drug on this supplement, for you to understand what is there a little bit!

- Mytosterone: have inhibitory effects on both 5AR and AER (5AR it´s an enzime responsible to convert testosterone to another type of testosterone to be used in the body, AER it´s another enzime who works almost at the same way as 5AR), so it works for the body to boost the testosterone production;

- Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens): science doesn´t know exactly how it works, but some studies heave being conduced to show the effect of this herb to boost testosterone, is now used for men with enlarged prostate conditions, without cancer;

- Astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvialis): it´s a beta-carotenoid (something similar to carotene from vitamin d) and it works as a testosterone booster too;

- Rhodiola crenulata: reduces the cortisol (stress hormone) and boost testosterone (not completely discovered by studies, but scientists are working on it);

- Ginkgo Biloba: antioxidant, slow down the platelets on the body and at this way works at the blood flow and makes oxygen saturation ratio better in the whole body;

- Bornon Citrate: is nothing more than boron, that mineral on the top of the periodic table, and this mineral in bigger amounts in the body can balance hormones and even balance diabetic patients.

I can´t tell you if they tested that or not... I wish I could know better the way that they perform these statements.

I can tell you that I saw already some companies (supplement companies) who were in trouble to put more than exactly the supplements that they stated in their capsules. Tha´s why it´s always good buy from those famous ones.

I wish I could help you more. I can´t exactly say what you can do about these statements that they did.

I think is better you ask a lawyer.

If you want to read more about and know where I got some of the informations (in healthcare it´s important show where you got the information), there you go the link of a study talking about these components.

If I can help you more, please, feel free to ask.

Good luck and all the best!

Ok... They are not anphetamines, but ok. Probably just some components that are simply prohibited in Canada. If they said anphetamines I can tell you, as a doctor that they told that just to give you an answer.

I hope you will never have problems back again and you can be free from all this situation!

I have a solo I-212! Mine, you can check on my timeline (I filled that in October 2015).

Yesterday I got the notice that it was sent back to Long Island and its under review.

Do you at least received a receipt?

Where is your POE?

Just to let you know OP... These components of the formula are not steroids. They stimulate the body to release steroids by itself... Even because steroids as supplements are prohibited in America. So maybe you had no records because they made a research and find out that this is just an oral supplement and not exactly steroids.

Welcome to the forum where you can find amazing people and you can find those who will judge you and make you feel horrible!!!

Remember that the most important information that you can get is from a good immigration lawyer, because here... Who knows who is who...

Share experience, give strengh is the best thing you can find and do here!

I wish you a fast and healthy K1 journey!

NOA2 was Nov 24th...... thanks

Thank you for the information! And Congratulations!

Called NVC this morning... they received my case from USCIS today!!! No case number yet though.

When was your NOA2?

If you were attacked in the USA, have proof & was seeing a psych

even if one VD or was deported they can petition for a "U" visa

from outside the US.but they will do consular processing You

should speak to an atty (USA) or have someone in the US

check with legal aid for you. The petition would require

I 918 & I 192 forms to be filed

All of that was in Brazil.

In Brazil, you don´t have any kind of security against this kind of people and in a situation like this.

Even if you make a complain at the police, they don´t protect you.

My case is just a spouse visa.

When I was removed, they offered me to ask for asylum (I explained ALL the situation during my interview when I was removed).

But I was scared... I don´t know how is the process for asylum and I couldn´t be out of Brazil for so long.

By that point I was with a job and my business, properties and I can´t loose that.

So, everyday, I pray and I hide myself to be safe and wait until this process to be over and finally make my family together.

I still have not seen anyone from the Potomac center get a case number yet. Anyone on here? Technically if you count only the work days I understand I'm not at the 35 full days but it looks like a few people on here have hit over 35 working days and still no case number from the nvc. so I'm so confused

Same here... NOA2 in 12/17 and no motive from NVC...

Interesting, you never mentioned the kids before. Were they with you the first 9 months you were here, or did you go back, scoop them up, and try to re-enter.

The real story is really starting to flesh out here.

Why you are so interested in my story? Are you going to help me? If you want to know more, send me a prived message. I'll be glad to answer all your doubts. I don't want to change the subject here at this discussion, ok? Thank you!

Oh and I forgot one thing! If you read my messages all around as you are so interested, you will know about my kids!
