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
