Still Waiting…💙
Let me just start saying that every time I see someone sharing their news in this App, I start tearing from happiness for others. Knowing that I am not the only one going through this tough process, madness, a battle that I have been having with myself to learn how to be patient, not knowing when your day will come, it is a devastating feeling. Having to wake up every day with the hope maybe today it’s my day, it has killed my happiness somewhow. I am happy though because I Wake up Everyday, and I am hopeful. HOPE is still in me and I see hope is in all of you. You are so blessed. Some people live miserable and we are here thriving waiting to be united with our loved ones. We are so lucky. Sometimes the hope gets in the way so much, I start dreaming things that feel so real. From the moment when I finally receive the Approval, to the moment he gets his Visa and I am waiting for him at the Airport , filming every moment. Me waiting for him at the airport to give him the most felt hug, kiss… From the Airport we are Ubering back to our apartment that I set up before him moving here. Everything it’s in its place, looks beautiful, our bed is made perfectly, I have left space for him to put his clothes, I have bought everything he needs when he wakes up. Oh, I have cooked for him all day long so the food is warm and delicious for him when he arrives home. And I know he will feel Numb when he comes the first day, he just started a new life, away from his parents, family, friends… I will have to relive those feelings once again with him. Maybe that will heal my pain, the homesickness I have, reliving a pain that I didn’t know how to manage alone. I dream all of this, while I see each one of you saying Yayy” I Got Approved” … be patient and believe.😍😭 My case says I have been waiting only 2.6 years but in reality it has been almost 5 years. When I first arrived in 2020 I got stuck here for almost 2 years due to Covid-19, when I finally could go back and flights were allowed, and I had finally made some money to go back I surprised him… I went in front of his building and every doubt left my body, when I saw him running like crazy down the stairs without his shirt on and a pair of sleeping shorts, I Knew we had to get married. I knew I have to wait for him here. And here we are after 5 Years still waiting everyday, both of us, with these dreams. it might have been a hard Journey but if you ask me what would you do differently I would say “Nothing”. We wouldn’t be what we are if we didn’t go through all of this. Sorry for taking your time, I just wanted to let you know that waiting sometimes makes things better. Maybe we needed this time to improve and realise that the relationship needed this to become Stronger.♥️ Keep loving and dreaming every little detail, it makes it easier I promise.

Are there any approvals from August 10 from Nbc case transfered to Queens field office
Hello Guys, I hope God helps everyone with a fast and easy process because i know how difficult and stressful is to wait for such a long time with no response at all. I Filled August 10 2023, Married to a Us Citizen, and since then nothing changed beside just biometrics. No Rfe. I got an email 7 months ago that we have taken an action in your case. When i go and see the case it says "Case is being actively reviewed",nothing beside that. I Reached to my governor 1 month ago and still no response yet. I reached to agent and they told me your case was transferred to Queens Field Office. Anyone here same as me how more longer we have to wait?

The very annoying timeline which driving us crazy
This is what I learnt and experienced in the past 978 days waiting . I wish I could let those who have the pending case like me , stop checking that site every few hours , and wish to see miracle . Relax , live normal , don’t get depressed and frustrated like most of us do in this painful waiting . 1. CASE IS BEING ACTIVELY REVIEWED - It means nothing , as some people seeing this update, really next couple days got their approvals . But 95% of us , have this serval times , and nothing happening for months or another 1-2 years . So don’t be excited each time when you see it again . 2. CASE IS APPROVED - Another torturing waiting is the actual documents when to be arrived by mail after approval . Some cases they did not even update to the next stage , “ CARD IS BEING PRODUCED “ , but you finally got yr cards on hand . Even u called and talked to the agent , things they mentioned was exactly what u saw at yr timeline . They seldom help ! Don’t waste time to communicate with them , their attitude are always rude, like you are talking to a robot . 3. PROCESSING TIME - It is the most ridiculous part of USCIS site . You could be happy that they suddenly posted 2 months away form approval on your timeline . Then next morning back to 18 months long . or even you got approval , it still showing 12 mths more waiting . So Completely igonore it ! 4 . When is my time for interview or approval - I feel so sad each time I see the hopeless applicants exactly like me , repeatedly asking this . Sadly to say , no one in this group could tell you , even your lawyer and the live agent . ONLY GOD KNOW ! Lawyer before they tried to get yr business and deposit would tell you 8 months max for most of the cases . Some lucky familes here only 100 days got their approval , some pity ones like me over 975 days or over 3 years , even we are our cases are straight forward , nothing complicated . There is no pattern, logics or PD date to follow at all . 5. Congressman to help or expedite yr case - expedite yr I485 case , as soon as yr application was received . Some people really got it much quicker. for i131 you could expedite it when u submit your application at the same time . once you found you are out of the processing time. Ask congressman to help without delay . First this is free of charge , secondly I really got my advance parole on hand less than 14 days with their big help, after 2 rejected expedite and 970 days waiting . so I am really highly recommend to reach out yr Congressman for help ! We don’t deserve all this painful waiting , it hurts our mental health , daily life and even our marriage , as we are always in big stress and uncertainty , on top we are not able to see our families in our home countries . But we already paying tax as a responsible US citizen . All this frustration really drive all of us here crazy . Fortunately we find families &@ friends here , to share , to air out and to help . Let us know we are not alone ! Again thank you so much for everyone here for the communication and support . Even one day I got finally approved , I will keep staying , to support those who need my bad experience as a reference and support . My best regards , Victoria
