Thanks for your responses!

Yes, I am sure that the biometrics is scheduled for after the interview date, I have both letters. It doesn't sound right. I am going to call USCIS. I am also going to take Trooper's advice and go into the ASC office and talk to their manager with both letters in hand. We definitely don't want to reschedule the interview/biometrics.

If anyone else has heard of this or has experienced this I would still appreciate more input.

Hello Fellow Visa Journey Members!

First let me apologize; I have updated my timeline on Visa Journey but I keep gettgin "Error" in red, that my NOA dates or incorrect. My dates are correct I think.

My question: Is having biometrics after our naturalization interview going to cause problems?

The Dates:

Filed N-400: August 1, 2013.

Naturalization Interview: January 6, 2013 in Anchorage (traveling 350+ miles away)

ASC Appointment for Biometrics: January 13, 2013 in Fairbanks (350+ miles from interview city).

Not sure this is important -- but I also noted that our lawyer has not received our naturalization interview appointment letter yet, only the biometrics letter. Online when I checked the status of our case it also does not show the interview as scheduled yet but we received our letter about a week ago.

We requested our interview and biometrics appointment be in Anchorage, Alaska as it is the only field office. They do some things in Fairbanks, but not consistently because there is no permanent office. It is a 7 hour drive between cities so you see we cannot just pick up and drive over if there is a problem.

Our lawyer suggested we go on our day of naturalization interview at 10:30 we go early at 9am, show them our two appointment letters for biometrics and the naturalization interview, and request they do the biometrics. I suspect this won't work.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I will say this - I really hope, and wish that the sub-Saharan African countries could actually receive enough power to have stable electricity. When you see the affects of little or no power on the people it's really upsetting.

That being said - I really appreciated reading everyone's responses thus far to Obama launching Power Africa because there are several good points.

I think the question is - will the people actually get the power?

Will Power Africa generate more jobs and revenue for local people? Will the people who need electricity actually receive it? People in countries that are developing haven't put much faith in any governments and it's easy to see why. Nigeria is a very wealthy country that is filled with corrupt people who have consciously allowed their fellow Nigerians to suffer for their own greed. Nigeria could make their country a better place because they have resources so it is not a far jump to think they can also find a way to use this Power Africa to the advantage of only a few select people without any concern for their fellow man. Americans drilling oil in Nigeria has not resulted in the better welfare of the locals and has led to great suffering for the people there.

I guess we can hope that Obama and his team of experts has found a way to deal with these very well-known mitigating circumstances.

Even if a situation seems hopeless on the outskirts it is wonderful that someone is trying to help or invest in any way in Africa. Hopefully it will alleviate some suffering. Isn't it really only God who can take these matters and straighten them out? That's my belief. But still, I hope that it will work out because each day there are people who need help and someone has to try.

Hello Fellow Visa Journeyer's,

Me and my husband are about to enter into the naturalization process. Anyone have experience to share about the sentence writing aspect of the exam? This is the part of the exam I worry most for my husband and I want to do what I can to help him. Any thoughts or experiences would be great!

Hello VJ,

I used this website and the community here through the four year immigration ordeal we had and it was very helpful.

I just got to thinking that when people here need a lawyer to file their petition, or deal with a denial, people often ask -- where is a good lawyer. I suggest adding a new forum for people who have personal experience with good lawyers they would recommend. Almost everyone recommends Marc Ellis. I think it would be great to be able to write up a review just like you would an Embassy on this site. If there was a listing of the states/lawyers people may be able to weed out the bad lawyers everyone is afraid they will get.

What do you think?

I am more than happy to see this happening to you and your husband,congratulations.I am so excited about this and I am very glad too.I have been looking out here to read the goodnews from you guys..I thank the good Lord who made this happen.CONGRATULATIONS once again..

Wow! I'm overwhelmed by the congratulations, NLove, benny o, forchika, Zee Bee, and much more! Thank you for your congratulations. We are enjoying our togetherness, just the small things mean so much now. We're eating dinner together, taking a walk, all the normal daily life things. Our family and friends have embraced us and.. all of that love has really been a blessing too. Every day I see his face and I feel joy. I wish I had more time to write, but I wanted to thank all for the congratulations before time kept passing. ~ Thank you all ~

So my case was recently reaffirmed and today I get this letter from the NVC

Dear ....

The National Visa Center has been informed that the US Citizenship and Immigration Services reaffirmed this petition. As the NVC had previously completed the processing of this case, the file will be forwarded to the US Embassy/ Consulate General listed below. Accra Ghana

Ok please help me I am confused, I just flew right through the NVC without sending in any paperwork this time it appears my case is going straight back to the embassy. This is wierd!!! So anyone had this before? How long is the wait for reaffirmed petitions to get an interview, I mean it is Ghana? How will they notify me of the interview?

Please any guidence I am confused as I don't know what to think! Nigerianbust I will be awaiting your reply!

I would be confused too ghanagal, however the letter says that it previously processed the case, meaning the paperwork you gave them for the previous interview is still up to date. I would however recommend calling NVC, speaking to a supervisor and letting them know what happened and the letter you received. When did they receive your last tax return, W2's, etc.? I am wondering if you do go to the interview if you will need to be bringing more up to date information (i.e. latest tax returns, etc.) I also would ask how you will find out about an interview, that you knew from previous processing that you were given that date by NVC.

I assume that NVC or the Embassy would email you, but I know NVC contacted us with an interview date in the same letter as the one that says your case is going to the Embassy. I do wonder if reaffirmed petitions are on the top of the list for interviews based on some other posts, but I really don't know.

Hope this helps. I would call a supervisor at NVC. keep us posted. I hope someone else has more information for you!

Hi all,

I'm trying to prepare all the documents I'm going to need for the NVC when I finally get my NOA2.

I know the NVC requires an original marriage certificate and the original birth certificate from the beneficiary.

I'd hate to part with the original laminated marriage certificate that I received from the registry at the wedding, so my husband went back to the registry to get (and pay for) another original. They instead gave him what looks like a regular photocopy but the back of it is stamped "certified copy" along with the local government stamp. What I want to know is: will the NVC accept this "copy"? I'm just worried that if I send the real original, I might never see it again!

Thanks!

DebbyNSeyi,

I completely understand! I had to send our original and it scared me to death. I got a tracking number, asked for a signature upon delivery and then called NVC everyday to be certain when they had received the marriage certificate that they actually had it. I don't know anything about certified copies, we chose to go ahead and send our original. I know it's terrifying! Sorry I can't be of any help about the certified copy. Perhaps speak to a supervisor at NVC and get it in writing.

Take Care

Wife has received interview date at US Emabassy in Nairobi, Kenya for Oct. 5th! Am grateful and happy to finally have reached! Thank you all for the confidence you've provided that the time wold come soon!

Very exciting! Congratulations!

I am so happy for you and your husband! I wish for both of you all the happiness in the world....you guys really exemplify the meaning of faith and perseverance.

I want to thank you also, for being a source of encouragement to others even when you yourself were going through the worst immigration nightmare.

Again, congratulations to you and your husband...your visa journey is a source of strength and inspiration to many people on VJ.

Thank you DebbyNSeyi, I know we will hear good news from you soon too! I'm glad if I can be of any encouragement. I didn't get the strength from myself, I have a lot of people and God to thank for getting us through. Many, MANY people on visa journey helped me over the past couple of years by educating me and encouraging me when there were seemingly endless roadblocks. Thank you to all of them for they know who they were, and there are too many to count!

It was a battle worth fighting for. I hope you and your husband enjoy your life together. Congratulations!!!!

Nwanyioma

Hi Nwanyioma, C.D., and patient2010: Thanks for your congratulations! it was worth fighting for, I am so relieved and calm but I wished I had for the last 3 or 4 years gone into counseling to cope with all the stress prior to this because I realize looking back just how stressed I have been, and you don't have to strong arm it, you should take care of yourself through this journey. My husbands warm love, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it right now. Thank you for all your congratulations!

Congratulations for staying in it for the long run!

So what were y'all sick from? And all of that stuff regarding the interview, did that happen all on the same day? I hate it when they ask people to return with stuff that they have at the interview and refuse to look at it. It ought to be some type of law against that.

Yes, that all happened on the same day - but we had to return a week later with the additional documents they requested. I still do not know what we were sick from. We were at a hotel, the food we ate was fresh and prepared as we had done prior to be certain we did not get ill. We had vomiting, and the runs, then what seemed like a bad cough/cold and then we got sick to our stomach again - all over a course of a month. I couldn't figure it was dysentery. I thought we had a bacterial infection possibly. Though we were exposed to cholera and typhoid in the city, we both have immunization to it. Right now my cough went into my chest and I got an earache so I am going to the doctor soon. I have no idea what we had, I belong to IAMAT which is a group of doctors who are approved by U.S. standards, so if you travel you can find proper medical care but we were unable to find the two listed for Lagos. I'm so relieved to feel even remotely better. Thanks for your congratulations!

Hello All at VJ,

I am relieved, happy to report that I am now waking up to the face I love everyday - my husband was finally granted his visa after our marriage of three and a half years, a denial, being reaffirmed, having every problem under the sun happen with our visa journey and also in our personal lives.

I have to begin with saying sorry to those who wonder if I fell off the face of the earth. Where I traveled my cell phone didn't work, I couldn't go to the business center to email - so I fell off the face of the earth for over a month and a half. My husband also wasn't able to meet my family and friends prior to now, so we have been meeting and greeting so many people so there hasn't been enough time to fit everything in yet. I returned to work immediately.

I am at peace, feeling so blessed and know I owe my life and my love to Jehovah.

First I should say the Senator's office here and our attorney fought hard for us, anyone who read our previous story will know that we had every complication occur. I was quite tense and anxious about what could possibly happen at this interview some two years after the first K3 denial. I feel so blessed for the help we received through these individuals mentioned above, support of each of our families, and those here who helped me understand and research the legalities and complications of the immigration system.

We received about a two week notice for our interview, so I went to Nigeria to be with my husband at the interview. Unfortunately we both got so sick, I mean the works, we still are still sick even a month later. It all started that morning we went to the embassy. That morning of our interview I was so weak I could barely walk DOWN the stairs to our taxi. But we got there.

It's a strange scene to describe but when you drive down the road to the Embassy it's a dirt road, you pass the Embassy of Italy and maybe another country or two. There are renovations going on at the U.S. Embassy, so the Embassy was on one side of the dirt road and on the other was this covered gated but open to the air building with probably 200 blue seats facing to the front, all beside the river. They had people lining up by the river.

Petitioners were not allowed inside the Embassy even just to sit, petitioners could only come right at 11am, not for an hour or specified time period but right at 11am. A Nigerian man in uniform outside told the immigrant visa applicants to line up outside this gate that lead to the seated outdoor area by the river. This was the strange part, he told everyone they can NOT come inside unless they OPEN their medical exam outside. I later asked the Embassy American Citizen Rep. what that was about and he said it was common around the world because of anthrax scares. I have never heard of that! It worried me immensely. The American Citizen Rep did help me, I was able to communicate with him to answer questions I was confused about, he really was helpful.

So I was still sick at this time. I gave my passport to my husband to show the interviewer, let them know I was outside in hopes that if they wanted to talk to me they would know I was there. But then it became urgent because I was sick I needed a bathroom. The frontman to the embassy would not allow me in without my passport, but I also could not get my passport from inside the embassy. So I was stuck outside to sit on the ground or curb with the other people. I was wearing a lovely dress, this was a special day so me and my husband wore our "Sunday" clothes.

I got progressively ill, I almost fell over outside while standing so finally one of the Nigerian officers let me sit in the one chair that was outside - I think it was for those officers to sit in - they looked like military but I really have no idea what they do, they were standing there - probably 4 of them or 5. All of them were unhelpful, except for one who was very kind - I wish I had gotten his name.

So my stomach became urgently sick after sitting for 3 hours! My husband was still inside. I saw him cross the street and go into the Embassy, so I knew that all those 3 hours he was inside, I was sick but hoping he'd come out soon but it wasn't happening...lol. So I went to the officer in front of the embassy door and told him I HAD to use that bathroom. I ran inside to the bathroom. Then I felt really, very unwell, I fell over in the back of the embassy because I was so weak. I started to black out. It wasn't even hot outside but I was sweating as if it was 120 degrees.

The officer outside called a medic and eventually I also saw people surrounding me including an American. So the medic was a lovely woman who calmed me and I thought I was ok. My husband came around the corner in the back area and saw me crying and sitting on the step where they were helping me, he was so confused because I was sitting on the ground crying with all these people around me. He got me up and we walked outside. The embassy asked for our address and we walked outside. Suddenly everything was going black again and I started vomiting in the street. I thought I was dieing, I have never blacked out like that. When I was vomiting the people in the street were gasping. Later this was a source of humor but at the time it was frightening - I've never been that weak in my life. So my husband helped me into the taxi, though I vomited all over his lovely shirt and tie. We went back to the hotel.

That is when I found out that the Embassy gave him a 221g form for denial because of missing documents. There were documents I submitted to NVC that apparently never made it to the embassy! fortunately I brought a copy of the financial support documents, and the DS-230, I-864 and all supporting documents, everything that NVC had. But for some reason at the initial interview they wouldn't accept it from my husband, they asked him to return with them. They also said we needed a new police certificate and medical (but they weren't expired, they were only 2 weeks old). This was frustrating but I called the American citizen rep and our attorney who contacted a Washington liaison. We just thought it all so strange, but we just wanted to complete this and just got the required items. We had family situations going on in the background though that had to be dealt with so I requested an expedite from the Embassy to bring in the documents for our second interview sooner and they granted it. They seemed understanding about those events that were out of our control.

But I am happy to report, the items that the embassy said were missing and needed such as the I-864 form and all the financial support, and a new medical and police certificate - we brought them in as quickly as we could and were granted my hubby's visa. They didn't ask many questions at the interview, but our case had been reaffirmed by USCIS. We had tons of evidence, phone records and pictures, but they didn't look at any of it. It was almost like they knew what they were looking for before we came into the office. They asked our address, how my husband can cope in a colder climate, not many questions - then requested the documents that they said NVC did not give them. They gave a letter to us with that list. I also must say that the initial letter we received from NVC listed all the documents they had sent, it stated that we did not give them my husband's birth certificate but we had! So my husband traveled (at great stress) to the area where he could get another new birth certificate in case they really did lose his. But at the interview they had his original birth certificate we mailed.

When we were granted the visa, it was in the form of a letter that told us to go to a printing facility in about a week to pick it up. This printing facility was not near the embassy at all but it was in a sort of wealthy district. We chose to go a day early to see where it was, we were granted his visa and immigrant package a day earlier!

We were treated kindly at the Embassy. The Interviewer was kind. However the whole process was sort of frustrating - especially buying a new exam and police certificate. But we were ready to complete everything and be together so we just asked them what we needed to do and they told us. We were both weak from being ill, but once we realized we would not have to separate a calm came over us. This is just a little outline of how things went.

So now we are home. It took 2 days of travel to return home. I was worried about my husband adjusting to the food change, time change, weather change. He is coping but it is a big change for him and he's had some of that normal vomiting/stomach upset.. and jet lag. We hold each other at night. We went to our place of worship. We have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner together. I feel peace in my heart, now we are beside each other.

I married the sweetest man. He is gentle, humble, kind. I feel so blessed. I am thankful that we can now begin our journey... I don't know how we survived up to this point, this process has been so stressful that I thought it could really affect the health of my heart and his, but we made a promise to each other before God. Now my prayer is that I love him as he loves me, and never take forgranted the gift we were given.

Thank you all...

Last document from NVC in forwarding our case states (in reference to my husband's original birth certificate): "The applicant has informed the NVC that the required document (birth certificate) is unavailable."

This is not possible. The National Visa Center removed his birth certificate from the NVC"Response Checklist" once received. I confirmed by phone that all original documents were received. Now when our case is going to the Consulate they state the above, I'm so puzzled, does this mean our document is lost? NVC has no information and I am having a hard time getting a response to any email inquiry.

The attorney says we can bring a copy to the interview, but I have a bad feeling about that being as this is a high fraud country and we've spent nearly 5 years together and I don't want a lost birth certificate in the way.

Also there was an error on our response checklist, NVC asked for a police certificate for Benin Republic, my husband didn't live there but I am told it is best to get the certificate since it was asked for (NVC wrote it was not applicable to get the Benin PC). But I cannot find where on earth to go in Benin Republic for the appropriate police station or casier judiciarie.. The attorney advised that they will ask for it, I believe they will too.

I wrote my senator's office because at the moment all of this seems huge since I've been trying to work on the police certificate since end of April and I am wondering where my husband's original birth certificate is hanging out. I think I will get some rest because I'm a bit frazzled.

I've been on the phone and in the email non-stop it seems since beginning of May and sooo happy our case finally completed! I had some awful strange experiences along the way.

There was a man in Washington D.C. at the Benin Embassy that asked if I had children with my husband and I said no, he said why - I laughed uncomfortably in which he then recommended I call him when he is in the UK and I could help him immigrate and he would give me lots of babies!

I feel like I'm in a bizaare sort of soap opera. I imagine everyone on this site who runs into snags feels similarly. If you have any info. on the above issues I would appreciate it. If not, well I've had my "I've had it for today" moment rant.

When we were trying to get a police clearance from Vietnam, we ran into the same walls. What I ended up doing was writing a letter detailing all the steps we took to get the clearance, to no avail. It seemed to suffice since NVC closed our case. I'm not sure if the consulate in Lagos will give us problems, but we'll see. It was impossible to get the clearance with hubby being back in Lagos!

Thanks for sharing! I thought I was going crazy, no one seems to know where to get a required document (made me stunned). To hear you have experienced the same thing is a relief, I have all the emails I have sent out and I can combine it into a complete email and forward it to NVC, if we cannot indeed get this paper for them.

Have you tried asking the Benin Embassy in DC? And is there a Benin Embassy in Lagos?

I finally talked to someone at the Benin Embassy in DC and emailed them the particulars since they couldn't understand me too well. I asked them if there was a Benin Embassy in Lagos, they said no - just Abuja now. I really hope this becomes fruitful! I feel like I should have glued my phone to my ear for a week straight. My head is buzzing from the constant chatter.

Thanks very much!!

Hi,

I wondered has anyone here had to get a police certificate for a country (specifically Benin Republic) that the beneficiary does not live? I have called NVC, the Department of State, the consular officer of Benin, the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, the Embassy of Nigeria in D.C., and I cannot find a person who can tell me where or who to go to for an police certificate for Cotonou, Benin.

When the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou, Benin Republic could not tell me where to get a police certificate (the individual I spoke with said they have seen the certificates but not knowing how they are obtained there), so I keep running into walls.

Anyone have experience with this? The instructions for a police certificate are vague to say the least.

I can totally understand your frustration. I have cried, been sad, gotten upset, yelled everything, but it does not change the process or speed things up or make things any better. I believe in my heart me and husband will be together again very soon. Travelling back to Nigeria was not an option for me right now, but if I could I would. Take heart in know that your relationship like many others on this wonderful forum is dianamic, beautiful and special....you will be together again soon! Take care, God bless and be well

Thanks AzuomaObidiya, you are a sweetheart.. I'm sorry you don't have even the option to go see your husband, I had some years like that and I feel so appreciative that the circumstances are such that I could save and go see my husband.. It just so reinforces that we all have to look at what we DO have to keep that positive energy and keep going along. Thanks for sharing your stress, sadness, tears, anger, etc., I was able to stay positive so long and I could see myself lately sinking and need to adjust myself and remember we're so close, one day gone is another day closer to seeing my luv. TY for the encouragement.

Afrilaskan,

I can appreciate your frustration. This is such a stressful and tedious journey. Thank goodness for this community of support.

I'm not exactly sure what the best thing to do here. I'm not sure, but did you refile the I-130 when you filed again or was this the original?

Hi thanks for your support Cheyemo! We did not refile our I-130, but rather had it reaffirmed at the same time as the I-129 (which expired). So the original petition is there, from 2007. Early I spoke to the director at my attorney's office, they felt that people make errors on the paperwork so often that at the interview we can explain any errors. I hope she is right, she said short of refiling a new I-130, she felt that our DS-230 is the form they will look at (and that of course has the info. correctly written). I thought that NVC will not approve our case onward if they see some serious discrepancy, am I right? I am sure many peoples details change or were written wrong, right?

hmpph... perhaps I should call the u.s. consulate we interview at?

Hello Everyone,

This last two months have been so long. I miss my African family, life is going on and I am hold.. I am waiting to see my husband so when I do go, I can stay a long time AND be there for my husbands interview. My husband has had tough times and I am longing to be with him. We were trying to find a way for me to stay there even two or three months.

I'm tired. I just want to leave now but I have to wait. My sweetest grandma passed away end of April, I really thought that 5 years ago she would meet my love. I seem stuck, just stuck, physically and emotionally. My grandpa has been in assisted living, he's been dieing for some time - he had the same work my husband does, and he has dementia severe so I know he won't be meeting my husband - in this life. I don't believe this is the end of life, but for over a year it's been completely draining, running in every direction to the point of no time for myself to rest but now I have time some time to rest and I miss him so much.

That is just the American side of the family, I was unable to be there with my husband through his tough times too. This last year just been stretched beyond stretched and I miss him. I know my husband will be home eventually or perhaps some measure of stability will come where he lives so I can stay there longer, all I know is my heart is sick missing him. I feel positive about him eventually having his interview. So now the wait time at NVC also feels even longer I suppose.

Our case is still at NVC. I do have a question that relates to that. Our original petition was approved in 2007. Our DS-230 has all the updated information of course, but our old I-130 has some incorrect information that I cannot believe I did not see. There are two major errors, my mom's birthplace, and the address we used for mailing is written as a physical address. My husband traveled a lot for work sometimes, and he did not qualify as a resident to that mailing address, it needs correction as it is on the old I-130 petition and in his biographic data on the G-325.

If all this information is correct on the DS-230 form, will we be ok? If not, I am wondering who to contact. I thought about contacting the embassy direct. I don't want any preventable complications on our interview day. Once NVC has actually "received" this last package we sent, which arrived almost 4 weeks ago, our case should be forwarded to the consulate.

Just waiting... (tick tock tick tock)

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking at timelines for my fellow Nigerians and it seems no one who got approved in the past 1-2 months have an interview date yet. Is this normal or are people not updating their timelines? I just got my NOA2 this past Friday so my fiancee and I were trying to figure out how long before he can get an interview date for his K-1 visa. I really appreciate all your inputs.

According to everyone's timeline we would have had our interview by now. We paid our AOS fees back in March but our case is still at NVC.

tokyo embassy said that if you made any changes to the information to just bring the updated documents to the interview.

if things are wrong or have changed maybe make one PERFECT copy of the DS-230 and AOS to bring to the interview and give it to the interviewer??

That is a good idea, I can bring a perfect copy of the DS-230. The actual petition at uscis those years ago has an incorrect address during a time period, that is on the I-130, but the DS-230 form that NVC has all the correct information. I hope that will be ok.

Boaz,

I'm happy to see all the support for you here. This is a support site for those who go through the visa journey, sometimes that includes these sad events, you sound like you are endeavoring to see the positive through this and that clearly will be your strength. It is devestating for you, but I believe from reading your posts that you will not become bitter and you will use this to find the best life path for you. That is not easy, taking the day at a time, my heart goes out to you at this devestating time.

~ God is close to those broken and crushed in spirit ~

Wishing you the needed support and calm to recover and have peace.

Hello All,

In 2007 our I-130 petition was approved. It is now in 2010 that we will have an interview based on that petition. I constantly sent updates to uscis over the years, but even after the petition was sent to NVC all the updated information was missing such as my maiden name being changed.

My thinking is that the interviewer would be reasonable knowing that this petition was completed some time ago, that perhaps it needs updating. I sent in the DS-230, which has all the correct updated information (such as addresses).

One of the changes from our old petition was my husbands address, he's in another country. We sent and sent the updates but NVC initially put the wrong country/embassy in our case number. That took about a month to update at NVC since all changes must be updated via snail mail, received by NVC by hand.

This has been frustrating because we sent the updates repeatedly to uscis for years and it wasn't noted in our file. I filed a freedom of information act, so I have a copy of what they have. I know what is and is not correct. Any suggestion? They are minor changes, like my maiden name, and there is an incorrect date, I never saw our wedding date is backwards - but I think any reasonable person would look at that and see it was an honest mistake when seeing our original wedding certificate.

Any thoughts are appreciated. We paid AOS fees at the very end of March, here we are near the end of June and I want to prevent anymore errors before they cause another major wait time.

Thanks

I think its time I share this with you. Goes out to all those who are just like me and are waiting for their partners to be with them. LETS CALM DOWN WITH THIS PIECE..

love u all VJ Family....!

Thank you for this positive post. I was unable to listen to the entire song, but it's important to keep positive in the face of all this stress, otherwise our own negative feelings compact all the inescapable stress. I was spending time with my sister, she is able to freely enjoy her relationship and it causes me to miss my own so deeply. It has become a habit of mine, watching people who are enjoying their relationships. It is saddening when for example you cannot even talk on the phone with your loved one, or run to their side whenever you want or need to. But I was most happiest focusing on what I love about our relationship and what we have, not what we don't have. Thank you for sharing this peaceful song, to encourage calmness - for all of these things are outside of our control, and it only serves to cause continuous unhealthy anxiety.

My heart is really going out to all of the families affected by the long interview wait times for Ghana couples. Perhaps persistent prodding will facilitate the needed change in order to reduce the wait times. I hope so, as I said before, my heart goes out to all who are waiting just for an interview at Accra.
