    December '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

    Well keep us updated if you do the infopass appointment! Does it cost anything? I might do one too.

    It's free (except for gas, lol).

    Someone told me that after going to an infopass appointment, the people there made a request, and she got approved a few days later. I think that's the best-case scenario. Worst case, I'll waste about 2 hours. But after hearing her experience, I went ahead & booked it for tomorrow @ 11:15am.

    Good Luck for tomorrow. I truly hope they can shed some light on your petition. :star:

    Frustrations of LDR and the Visa Process

    everytime we had conversations about his move to the US he always complains about leaving everything behind in Germany and starting all over again here in the US.

    As far as I know, that's completely normal.

    I'm the beneficary, and I know that sometimes when the conversation comes up, I feel excited about moving. But more often, I complain about it.

    I have to leave people behind and that's the most important part to me, and I have those people complaining about it to me all the time. I'm talking everyday, someone is telling me that they don't want me to leave, asking about what I'm going to do with myself out there while I can't work, pointing out potential problems in our relationship that means it might fail. I also have so many things to take care of that means packing my life into boxes, getting passports for everyone, cancelling accounts, visiting people that I might not see again, making decisions about "is this really important to me that I need to move it abroad"... it's really hard.

    I understand it's hard being seperated from the one you love, because we are seperated from you petitioners too - but we need your support because we are going through so much change that even if you adapt easily, it's almost impossible not to mourn for your life before you've even left it. I tell my fiance everything, and I know that he gets annoyed sometimes when I complain about his country or my sacrifice, but at the same time, I like his reassurance and that's why I complain. I need him to tell me that everything will be OK, I will find a job, make new friends, visit back home, etc.

    Gemmie, your words are so true, especially about having to "pack your life into boxes". I'm at that point right now, and it aint easy.

    Best of luck with your move.

    I see your POE is Boston...will you be living in Boston?

    Cynthia, I can relate to how Simon is feeling. I am the beneficiary living in South Africa, and having/wanting to give up my entire life here to be with the man I love.

    It is scarey for us to make this huge change in our lives, thoughts of the culture shock, adapting to the weather (we dont get cold here in SA) the uncertainty of how long it will take to find a job with the economic situation as it is. I will also be leaving my son behind, but luckily only for a year and a half to finish his final year at school before he joins us... but we have choices and sacrifices to make

    My fiance, like you, also has times when he feels selfish, he often tells me how bad and sad he feels about me having to give up everything, friends, family, my pets and my posessions to be with him.

    But you know what... we as the beneficiary have choices. It's a question of 'do I have to' or 'do I want to'. For me, I have made my choice, I know I want to be with the man I so dearly love and Im prepared to make the sacrifices to be with him.

    Believe me, it's not easy on us, emotionaly it's draining, but looking beyond the visa process there is love and happiness and thats what counts.

    So, NO, you are not being selfish, as long as you give him the support he needs (which you seem to be doing) you dont need to be a 'walker'.
