It’s my turn! My case is Approved! 🙏🏻
Hi friends! It’s my turn! After almost 5 years of sharing my journey and reading about others’ experiences, it’s finally my time to say: my case is approved! Since I know these posts mean a lot to many of us, I didn’t want to skip sharing my story. I’ll try to keep it simple and cover the main points and common questions: PD: 03/2021 Sponsor: Taco Bell – BDV 1st interview: 08/2022 Started working for sponsor: 12/2022 → Worked for one full year after that I informed my sponsor I’d need to take a break for personal reasons. 05/2025: RFE for medical 06/2025: Case ready for 2nd interview 09/2025: Interview scheduled (yes, I waited 3 months to receive the date!) 10/2025: 2nd interview – Detroit Field Office The interview was very quick—about 30–40 minutes. The officer was kind and mentioned she knew I had been waiting a long time but needed a second interview due to new policies. She said she just needed to review and update some information. No questions about BDV, my sponsor, or anything like that ( all these questions was made on my first interview). She asked when I stopped working; I was honest and explained that the visa wasn’t available and that I had to move to another state for personal reasons, but that once approved, I intend to return to work. She asked if I worked somewhere else—I said yes, temporarily—and that was it. My husband’s interview was separate, and he was with the officer for only about 15 minutes. Mostly form questions. Dependents: Only my husband (we have 2 kids, both born here). My biggest advice: Keep living your life and doing what makes you happy. Otherwise, time will pass, and you’ll feel stuck and frustrated. Your time will come! Wishing you all a future filled with purpose and happiness here! Thank you for all the support in this great community 💫

I was evaluated from a VAWA center saying I was battered. I did have a violation of protective order felony 7 years ago, and a DUI dismissal 2 years ago. how is this possible? after waiting for more than 3 years.. this is one of the worst days in my life 😔
