Brian - you should look into using SKYPE. I have never used it myself but when my cousin what deployed he was able to SKYPE with his kids everyday. That way when you are all finally together he will know your face and voice and you won't be a stranger.

Sara - I just keep checking on here hoping for some good news, but it never comes. I am soooo sorry.

Wendy

Sara -

I am so sorry for you and your family. I didn't realize that if you go the whole family must go too. Thats horrible to have to uproot 6 people because USCIS can't get their ###### together. I hope you and your family find happiness in India. Someday I hope you find that this was the best road for you to take and that God had a plan for you out of all this pain and suffering the past 2 years.

Love,

Wendy

Hey everyone (anyone?) I just recieved my NOA2 after 313 days of waiting!!!! You can imagine how happy I am! My Fiance is in Malmo, Sweden. From your timelines it looks like Sweden moves extremely quick!!!!! How soon do you think I will have my baby back here in the states?

Thanks!

Wendy

I just filled in my timeline (I've been working aLOT lately) and found out it took 313 days for me to get the NOA2. That place makes NO SENSE AT ALLL!!!! There is a post here from someone who said "Approved in 85 days!"

I just can't understand that place. Sara I am so bummed that you are still waiting I feel guilty that I got mine and you are still waiting. No one deserves it more then you. I guess it is just fate that you should move to India. Can't he apply for a work Visa to come here? I am a Nurse and at one hospital I worked at the Doctors were almost 100% from India, Pakistan, Iran, etc. And they all had gotten their medical degrees in their native countries. Maybe you could move there, get married and then he can apply for a work visa to come back here?

Thanks everyone! I really thought my day would never come! Yeah, last Friday the congressman told me they found out I will be in security checks for a LONG time, then I was APPROVED on MONDAY! I went to the infopass on TUESDAY and they had absolutely no idea it was approved! This system is Sooo messed up! And No one knows ANYTHING! Everyone has a different story.

I'm just happy this part is over and hopefully by Summer I will have my man back here with me!

Sigh.......

Maybe we will have another NOA2 Rain because.......

I JUST GOT MY APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! It was in my mailbox when I got home from work just now!

I can't believe it!!! Of course the website still says "pending" But it was approved on March 2nd! The funny thing is that I went to the info pass appointment on March 3rd and they had NO IDEA it had been approved!!!!

I'm only sorry it was me and not Sara!!!! ####### is going on with our dear Sara?

I think the IRS is easier to deal with than CIS.

yes because its logical it is all about digests with decennials and x amount of write offs and dependents,

csc is a bunch of people that will tell u anything they feel they can to get u off the phone even if u know its a load of garbage......and getting an intelligent supervisor is as difficult to do as solving the national debt

Good One!

Just got back from talking to a second lawyer. Now she just told me that background check is Bullshit and that all they need to check is that you are both single and have seen each other in the past two years. She said they don't do the "Background check" until it gets to the American Embassy in the fiance'e country.

I'm starting to wonder if all these Lawyers, Congressman, Senators and USCIS employees have and idea what they are talking about?????

I feel like USCIS is like "The great and powerful OZ" "Don't look behind the curtain!" No one knows whats back there!

Sara - I'm so sorry to see you are having such a bad day.

Maybe you should just start counting down the days until you move to India.

I was crying yesterday after my infopass appointment and my 16 year old son even told me I should just move to Sweden for a year and leave him and his brother here with their dad!

I feel like my heart is on 2 continents. Here with my kids and family and there with the love of my life.

I'm off to see another lawyer tomorrow. She wants to look at my case and see if she can find any errors in it or be able to help in anyway. I seriously just want to shove him in a suitcase and drive him over the border.

I'm so sick of all this #######!

Wendy

yes i know what u mean completely and i am counting the days until june because at this very minute that is all that i can look forward to i dont see anything good happening at csc anytime in the near future. my future father in law is here visiting and he is being very supportive and helpful im really happy that he came for a visit it has improved our relationship so much with perviz family.

i hope that you get ur noa2 before mine, i think it would just be too hard to make the choice between ur man that u love and ur children even if only for a year it would be heart breaking, and these are our wonderful governmental employees that are suppose to keep families together? personally i think they should be renamed home wreckers!!!!

sara

Thanks Sara -

Yeah - there is no way I can leave my kids and I can't expect them to leave everything behind and move to Sweden either. So here I sit. We'll see what the lawyer has to say today....

Everyone takes different amount of times. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

Soon you can join my 6+ Month waiting club thread, But I hope you get it before the 6 month mark.

Wendy

Just got back from my INFOPASS apointment.

What a joke. I walk up to the window and the lady says to me...

"Why have you let this go on for a year??"

"You haven't been trying very hard have you?"

"Are you guys even still together?" Now why would I be here if we weren't?

Then she says she can't help me, I should write to them in California and that they have not served me very well.

Wow! Am I glad I drove 110 miles and spent 4 hours of my time to hear that!!!!

Grrrrr!!!!!

Oh My GOD!!! This ####### is never ending. I'm about to stuff my boyfriend in a suitcase to get him here!!!!

Don't worry baout what that idiot said, they really don't know anything.

I'm off for another info pass appointment today. I know it won't do any good but it makes my boyfriend feel better.

Monkey Juice, Sara and everyone else, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

As far as security checks I have heard it both ways. My Congressman and Lawyer said they are checking him, but then on here I have heard they are checking me. I don't think its me because I don't have a criminal record and my last name is BODZIOCH. Practically NO ONE has that name. And Wendy is not very common either.

My Fiance's last name is LARSSON and almost EVERYONE'S last name in Sweden is Larsson.

So I don't know... But I was talking at work today and said, even if I have to wait another year, he is worth waiting for.

Sara I am so bummed that you haven't heard anything yet! I check every day waiting to see good news from you. When you get it I am going to be as happy as if it were my own!

Thanks Everyone!

Wendy

Wait till you hear this.....

After 10 months of waiting my congressman's office called me today and said that they talked to their "Special Contact" at USCIS and that person said we are going to be in Security Checks for a LONG TIME!!!!

What the hell does that mean???? 10 months isn't long enough????

I was really hoping on getting approved this week. Things have been looking so good with all the approvals lately.

Whywhywhywhywhywhywwhy??????

WOW!!!! 444444444 in ONE DAY!!!!!!???????

This is soooooooooo FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Keep it up!!!!

It really does seem like they are cleaning house all of a sudden!

Grrr no more today????

I hope we finish off this thread tomorrow with the remaining NOA2's

Can you believe people from NOVEMBER are getting theirs already.

That hurts so bad!

Wendy

THIS IS SO FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

I hope Sara and I are next!!!!

It would be nice to finish off this week by blowing this thread off the board!!!!

Congratulations to everyone who was approved this week!

I am SOOOO Happy for you!!!!!

Wendy

WOW!!!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOO FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Dreams DO come true!!!!!!

Now if we could just get Sara approved and then Me!!!!

My heart stopped beating when I read your post!

I'm Sooooooooo Happy for you!!!!!

I'm still waiting too, From April! The worst part is it seems that there is no way to get any control over this process.

You are completely helpless and no one who knows anything will talk to you.

I check the website sometimes 6 times a day. I have good days and bad. One girl on here has a great signature line. It says "NOA2 - its what happens to other people!"

Thanks Sara.

I'm checking here everyday waiting for your approval. I know its coming soon! It has to be!

Grrrrr! Now I have a NEW problem!!!

While my Fiance was here on a tourist Visa He got into a bad car accident. There were lots of medical bills and it was the fault of the other driver.

Now my Fiancee's lawyer just called me and said if my fiancee is not in the country by April to testify in court then he is going to have to drop the case because it will have been 2 years.

Which means we will get stuck with all the medical bills!

My situation has gone from unbearable to hopeless with one phone call.

Does anyone else here feel like that things always have to be so hard for them? My life is always so difficult.

36 years of difficult!

Sorry to whine but I have to vent.

Wendy
