K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	after interview	Relax!!!! Everything will be fine. She forgot her BC, she sent it in, they put it to her file. Everything is going its way, what did you expect the Department of State to tell you? They need some time to put the BC in her file, print out the visa, put it in her passport and to send it off. Frankfurt is a busy consulate, give them some time. Congrats on the approval!	Chrito	Female	Germany	2009-09-15 15:31:00

I know, it's just that, the faster things move, more impatient and mindless I become. I'm kinda losing track of everything else now (health, work, etc). All I've been doing lately is, 'what is next, read this, fill that out, copy this, send that..' crazy!!! I hope I don't get stuck anywhere in this process. You ladies will laugh at this, but Im getting witchier by the minute, petition processing is not moving fast enough for me. No I was not expecting a approval with 1 week, I just hate this!!!!!!!!! Hate it. I have been a raving with today, Gave up sugar completley, think Im having sugar withdraws, no junk food what so ever, no fried food, nothing but healthy. low carb, high protein. I feel like Im going to burst. I wake up every morning thinking I'll eat healthy today, that is until I go out for lunch Eating helathy is not the probelm, I can do it again, for I lost a ton of weight last year eating correctly, and exercising, I actualy enjoyed it and felt better mentally and physically. Its funny when we firt filed Jan. 2008 right up to the terribel day in June when I knew we had to withdraw our petitions I was fine and calm, this time, well Im a raving witch on wheels. I've sent my husband 3 emails this morning crying my eyes out telling him that i miss him so much. Its been 5 weeks from today since I left Paris and I would sell my soul to be there now with him. Its never been this hard on me before. I feel ya! Haven't seen my husband since 1st September. We've never been apart for more than 3 weeks before, those three weeks were back in 2005 when he got out of the Army and went back to the States to see his parents. After that it was only the occasional weekend with the Reserves or me visiting relatives. Edited by Chrito, 23 March 2009 - 02:36 PM.	Chrito	Female	Germany	2009-03-23 14:34:00
