Waiting for Your Visa Anxiety

So have I! It's like sickness, I can't stop reading other people's stories and comparing them to mine. It's driving me crazy!

I 100% agree. I know It's bad for my anxiety, but I can't help it! I'm glad i'm not alone.

I'm glad i'm not alone.

That's one of the best things about this forum!

Agreed.

OMG My nerves are shattered. lol
This whole waiting game really sucks and being separated just makes it so much worse. I just want to sleep the remaining of this waiting game, wake up on the day my passport comes back and (crossing fingers) I find a visa in it...OH COME ON...HURRY UP....LOL

Hi Everyone,

I know I can't be alone feeling extreme anxiety as the business days tick along....
 I'd love to hear what others are doing/have done to distract, calm, and make the days go by faster.

The anxiety has been so bad for me. I've had nightmares and I'm always anxious when i'm awake.
I've tried not thinking about the visa, but that's proven to be impossible. I'd love to hear what's worked for others  (if anything works!)

Thanks!

Hello! I've been feeling the same way. It's been awful. I am only a few days behind you. We were married 14 June,  I did the online application 15 June, biometrics/mailing it off 18 June, email from Sheffield 20 June. Soooooo I totally feel you. I've been waking up with a rapid heart beat, having nightmares, feeling generally anxious all day...I've been getting annoyed with people who keep asking me "did you get your visa yet?" Like NO! If I had I would've shouted it to the world!! I'm hoping to have some clarity in a few weeks....Did you pay priority? I did. I just keep thinking about how awful it will be if it's refused. You are NOT alone!!

That being said, I work a LOT. It helps me stay distracted, and I spend a lot of time practicing Latin (which I've been learning) and writing. Honestly, nothing has really helped except being positive and reminding myself that we did everything right.

I hope we get some decision made emails this week! Some of you guys are due for them pretty soon 

Fingers Crossed for everyone who is patiently waiting for a decision.

It looks like we have similar timelines. I totally get that. It's so difficult because I hate wishing away my time with friends and family in the states. But I would feel SO much better if I knew my decision and when i'm actually moving. I hope we get our answers this week!

OMG. You are literally describing my life the last few weeks! I HATE when people ask me about. I'm like "I promise you, and the rest of the world, will know when i get it!"

I did pay priority, so i could hear any day now which has kicked m anxiety into over drive!

Thank you SOOOO much for the support. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this too, but it's nice knowing we're not alone.
I find the only time I can calm down is on the weekends when i'm not expecting an email, but then Monday comes around the anxiety hits me like brick wall.

Good luck!!!

I know exactly what you mean.

Fingers crossed all of our anxiety ends soon!!!   

Another weekend gone. I'm hoping all of us hear good news soon.

Come ON Sheffield! 

Come ON Sheffield! 

LOL Please...We are all on pin and needles...We want to know!!! COME ON SHEFFIELD!!!

Another weekend gone. I'm hoping all of us hear good news soon.

I am starting to go crazy. I see that you are 6 days ahead of me. I keep seeing your signature not updated, and I'm like "If she doesn't know yet, then I certainly won't!"

UGH! I didn't want my wait time to go into August. This is awful. We were married in June, but our wedding is 13 October in England and my family is flying in and everything. They keep asking "Is your visa in? Can I buy my plane tickets yet?" It's driving me nuts!!!!
