Case Processing

processing time
I know I’m feeling very anxious, but I’m so worried. Every time I open Reddit, I see something worse. The latest thing I read was that VAWA cases have been frozen and that they’re now going to use AI to detect fraud. I don’t know if that’s true, but how could AI possibly determine whether someone has committed fraud? It’s crazy to me. AI doesn’t have empathy or feelings. The whole idea is terrifying. I’m so close to being hired by my dream company, but my work authorization expires in January 2029, and I would be starting in January 2027. This is supposed to be a long-term opportunity. One of the first questions during my interview was whether I would need sponsorship in 2029, because the company wouldn’t be able to sponsor me. I’ve been waiting for my immigration case for 41 months. My I-360 hasn’t even been approved yet, and I haven’t received any requests for additional evidence. I’m also afraid of meeting someone new and eventually having to explain my immigration situation, only for that person to get scared and walk away. I’m afraid of falling in love, being proposed to, and not being able to get married. I’m 32y, no kids, I want to meet someone, get marriage and be mom 😔 The processing times just keep getting longer. When I first applied, the estimated wait was only 36 months. Now it’s 52.5 months, and I still feel like my life is tied to this process. And what if I meet someone and get married? Could that help my situation? Could getting married affect my current work authorization while I wait for a new one if I apply for another process? I have so many questions, so many uncertainties, and so many fears. Today is just one of those days when my anxiety feels overwhelming. 😭
