Day 319 of ‘the wait’
Just a vent session. Feel free to scroll by.
Hubby (🇺🇸) filed for me (🇨🇦) 319 days ago. In these past 319 days, we (like all of you) are supporting two households, and traveling to see one another when finances and work schedules allow. It’s breaking us mentally and financially. In August, my grandfather passed, and due to finances, my husband could not be by my side to say goodbye. In October, our first grandchild was born. Thank God hubby was here for that, because our sweet grandbaby princess died 20 mins after she was born. Hubby had to go home two days later, and was not able to be here for her funeral a couple of weeks later. It broke him. Then, my grandmother passed away this past Friday. Hubby refuses to miss another funeral, so we’ve scraped together the insane $1200USD to get last minute flights up here to Canada so he can be with our family. I understand the importance of good, solid background checks and screening. I understand wanting to keep the US safe, and not overwhelming the health system, and housing system, and everything else. As a Canadian, this is vitally important to me, as Canada has FAILED dramatically in its immigration programs. But the front of the line hasn’t moved in months, and families deserve to be together. We chose to file this way because we are both in our 50’s, previously divorced, and have to work to support ourselves and our commitments. We could not have filed any other way, and have me not work while waiting in country. I have bills to pay! However, those applicants are getting their visas in 6 months , and us consular processing applicants, who have obeyed all the rules, are waiting years!!! I’m so frustrated.
Ughhhh…thanks for listening.
