A watched pot never boils! lol!
Just live your lives as you never had an application going on. I'm busy with my studies here, my husband is so busy back in Iran, we talk everyday and miss each other so bad, but we never think that our life is on hold because of this process. We're just living thinking we never had this process going on.
Try it this way and see you never feel how time passes. Honestly, for myself, this 4 months that I've been waiting, every month has passed so fast for me! But yeah if I sit and refresh my email each minute, every minute will be like a day!
So stop giving yourselves such a hard time and enjoy every moment, these moments are a part of your life, you have to enjoy your life. Keep your minds fresh for the moments you will have with your loved ones! Don't bother yourselves so much about a process that you can't do anything about!
By the way, when I look at other threads, such as Islamabad with 24 months of processing time, they are more positive than us!
Best wishes for everyone!
