Pointless circles

Day #310-
   It's almost been a year now since I last saw my husband. One might think I'd get used to him not being around. One might think I'd continue on with my daily business until I saw him again. But this is not the case. Each day I grow more and more depressed, more lost without him. Chloe asks about her Daddy more and more. She talks about him a lot and says she likes his hugs and kisses best.

Bye bye waiver

Day #299 -
   Well, where to begin. Our lawyer attempted to fight the fraud charge with the Consulate in Dublin. They just sent us the completed form, with both the fraud charge and the overstay charge, along with the box checked stating that we're eligible to file the I-601 waiver. They haven't responded to Lois Capps office, who has sent two inquiries now. I'm really frustrated but not surprised.

Go fraud yourself

Day #289
   After running around like a maniac for the past few weeks trying to get everything to our attorney to get the waiver together while going to school full time and fighting separation anxiety with Chloe, we have been hit with some very bad news. Right now I am so sad, I can't think straight. I know the anger will come soon enough.

Is it over yet?

Day #275-
   It's been awhile, I know! Life has just been really busy. We were also in Huntington Beach and the LA area visiting dear friends of ours between summer and fall semesters. I got a week off! I started back to school full time on Monday and Chloe starts Pre school too! I think it was harder for me to drop her off than her. I'm still finding myself looking down to make sure shes still beside me and catching myself asking her questions. I'll be known as the local crazy lady here pretty soon!

Interview date!!!!

Day #257-
   Yesterday I was putting Chloe down for a nap and had my phone on silent. She finally fell asleep and I checked my phone. Our lawyer had called and left a voicemail. My heart stopped. No breath was flowing. Our lawyer never calls, he always emails. I dial my voicemail as quick as one could and impatiently wait for his message to start.

Case closed!

Day #253-
   Great news! Our case at the National Visa Center is FINALLY closed! I called yesterday, as I kept receiving emails requesting one of the tax information forms that I had sent out weeks ago. After waiting on hold for only 15 minutes, I was informed that our case has been closed!

So close....

Day #249-
   Still no husband, but I do feel a bit closer to getting him home! I met with an Immigration Attorney and he has, thankfully, agreed to work with us as a pro bono case! I can't tell you how excited and grateful we are. He had contacted Cynthia Lambert, they reporter from The Tribune, asking for our contact information.
