Approval Indifference
I prayed to God for my approval and I’ so grateful that the step is finally complete. But is it really? having been given an interview and then approved an exact month before my 2year anniversary.
Was this purposely by them to not give the 10-year? Now I have to go through this exact thing again in less than 2years and I’m so annoyed. The good thing though, God did grant my wishes to some extent and I’m able to finally see my family- and I’ll use this time to further form myself into the woman God wants for me.

@Shana H why did it took soo long , did you overstayed your visa ?
Mo MeApr 27, 2025
@Shana H I don’t think it’s purposeful
the I-130 most times take about 365 days then some have to wait another couple months for I-485 approval. looks like it’s all based on FO location. Good thing is you maybe able to file for removal & citizenship at the same time or back to back.
