Right now I am VERY WEAK, and stressed. I cannot take it. I just do not want to speak anymore negative words.

Not saying negative words in this kind of moment is considered being strong too. :’) I might be a bit fragile now dealing with my anxiety and depression but I will never say I’m very weak, I’m still strong but you know, not that strong.. we’re strong, and that’s why we’re still here. Do know that. YOU ARE STRONG. We all are. ❤️

Thanks for the response. WITHDRAWAL is NOT an option for me.

I hope we can feel "better" this week.

I can see that you’re a really strong person! How I wish I can be strong just like you. We don’t want to withdraw too, deep inside we really don’t want to even though we got the draft ready. My fiance keeps on telling me to give it one more week every single week, and I keep on telling myself to give it another week too and it’s been a few weeks of telling that to myself now, because we really don’t want to do withdrawal! It will be just in case it’s taking longer that we thought, then we might go with our newly planned Plan B. I just miss having a good night sleep, being normal and happy.

I am right with you.. We started this process for a reason, what other choice do we have? I am saddened to know this is the pain we have to go through to be with the ones we love, and this is a right I have as an American.

True! I understand that they’re doing this for the security but it is so painful. Everytime when I see a status changed to withdrawal, I’m really hoping that the couple withdrew not because they broke up but they decided to go with another route. It is sad and scary to see couples breaking up because of this painful process. 

Hear us USCIS. This is a really painful process for all of us.

we are at the end of our approval ... I know it is hard ... not to sleep.. nervous..stress .... but I am not going to renounce to my future with Michael  .. he is a gift of life for me ... and although I'm exhausted ... I'll continue waiting until the end ...

please....

come on!!!! patience and hope a week more!!!!! 

 

sorry for my english 

Thanks for your kind words @SONIA AND MICHAEL ❤️

That’s how it is nowadays, I only sleep for 1-2 hours everyday. Sometimes I don’t sleep at all these days. I wish there’s a switch where I can just turn it off, because to be honest I’m really tired, mentally and physically.  I kept telling myself it will be our week next week but getting nothing especially like last week, is really disappointing. I know there are people who are waiting longer than me, looking at how long they’ve been waiting, I wish I can be strong just like them!

Day 199..

This is depressing. 

Had a heartfelt session with my fiance. If this doesn't come until we hit the 7 months mark, we are seriously thinking about withdrawing. This process is brutal. 

Me and my fiancé got a draft ready for withdrawal now. I was recovering from depression before, getting better but this process has drained me. We can’t get married back in my home country and right when we thought US is gonna unite us, it’s actually making things harder.

I too have hopes, and dreams but yes I think we will all have psychological disorders at the end of this process

Thinking the same too. It sucks.

Been three days I didn’t sleep well. I’ve been awake almost all night waiting for my approval. I guess I’m losing my mind now. This waiting game is no fun and it’s killing me.

Oh I understand that, I was Indonesian too and you know Indonesia...but I am not Muslim.

 

it could be tricky with religion but I wish you the best girl !....this wait just soooooo long  

We’re gonna wait until day 200. We might send a letter to withdraw the petition and get married in Croatia since I can now go to the commissioner of oath. We really want to live in US but this waiting game is seriously killing us. Thank you @Christy&J!  I wish you all the best too!

I actually really wondering why did you choose K1 ?

also through this process how many times have you fought with your fiancé ?

 

For me, we were debating ourselves either K1 or CR1 but the fact that the whole process K1 ( was ) only 6 months that's why we chose this process. Me and J been having hard time with this process, he is patient but me---it's been rough the fact how I have to gave up my career and promotion due to too long process...today I just found out that one of my coworker got the promotion that supposed  to be mine, he's been working only for few month. it hurts but I accepted it.

J listening to my whining, but at the end he can't do anything- sometimes I am wondering, is it only me or someone out there having the same dilemma too ?

 

hahaha not sure why I am venting now...

As for us, we cannot get married in my home country Malaysia easily. Ivan will need to convert to Muslim since I was born as a Muslim (it’s written on my ID card too I’m a Muslim ) . I never did live my life like a Muslim so I don’t want him to convert and to get married here there will be a course and a test that need to be taken. I know almost nothing about being a Muslim so I would get into a big trouble. Plus Ivan can’t convert here in Malaysia as they will not take conversion just to get married. Happened to my aunt, they got married outside Malaysia without my uncle converting and when they returned to Malaysia, Islamic police raided their house and then asked them to divorce because they didn’t recognise my aunt’s marriage (doesn’t make any sense). 

To get married in Croatia, I will need a letter saying that I’m single. To get that letter for a Muslim I need to get it from an Imam where I live and to get it I need to go through the test too. Being an atheist is a big no no in Malaysia if you’re born as a Muslim. Only now after we applied for K1 visa they made a new rule that we can now apply with the commissioner of oath.  how I wish they changed the rule before we applied for this. We thought it’s gonna take maximum 6 months but here we are, still waiting for our approval on day 195.

I’m sorry if my statement is a bit offensive for any muslims here on this forum. I respect every religion even though I don’t believe in one.

The case before and after mine hot approved. They forgot me it seems like it.

Day 193 now! I really hope I won’t hit 200.

Somewhat of a milestone today: 6 months since NOA1. Our VJ estimation has kept on moving up and is now set squarely on this week! Crossing all fingers, and other limbs for good measure as well, that this week is it for many of us

 

 

Ran a mini-scan, no movement so far I can tell yet. Igor's List is quiet still as well. They're just starting their day in Cali. TODAY COULD STILL BE IT GUYS!!!1!

My VJ estimation has passed. USCIS said it’s still between normal processing time. I guess it went up from 6 to seven months now. Anyway I hope this week will be our week! I’m trying to keep positive now!

Day 191 and I’m losing hope..

Day 190. Looks like I’m joining the 200 club. 😢

I was wondering if any you guys can help me out? 

I received my noa2 on 4/9/18 in the mail and yet to this day on uscis website old and new and even on the app it still shows that my case is still pending, what made me feel stupid was I contacted the nvc In hopes to get my case number for my fiancé, but I was told that they haven’t received anything still from uscis and that I should check back in 3 weeks, what am I to do? 

From what I understand, it is called silence NOA2. You don’t have to worry since you got the hard copy of it. And from what I read here you should wait few weeks to call NVC to get your case number. Just wait and then try to give them a call again at least in a couple of weeks. Congratulations for you NOA2 anyway.

Before my case was approved today. So my case will approve tomorrow right?   😂😂😂😂😂  I can see my fiance soon right?   After 1 year and 4 months he go back to US. We can see each other only on video call.  I will see my fiance soon right. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG.  I can't stop my tear.

Mine is the same for one whole week already but still nothing. I guess they don’t do it in order.  

Day 189 now.
