Approved!
Hello Lawfully family! After 19 months and 4 weeks, I can finally post that our case has been approved! To God be the glory! 🙏🏼 For those of you who are just starting your journey, have faith, check in with the Lawfully community when you’re feeling down or just need answers, follow only a couple of resources on YouTube and do not be afraid to advocate for yourself! Ask Emma, JSON, calling or chatting with USCIS were all good resources to get answers but it wasn’t until I involved my congressman that I truly received assistance. I moved during the process so I asked a few senators and congressmen, even the White House! Never take a No from someone who never had the authority to say Yes in the first place! I thought our case was straight forward but we got transferred and then hit with an RFE at the end for a proxy marriage. Filing a I-129 did not help and we were not successful with obtaining a visitor visa for my husband once we filed the I-130. Getting a ITIN for the purpose of filing taxes and getting a joint bank account helped. So did Changing my name, getting a new license and passport and visiting my husband in his home country with family certainly helped! I’m not sure if the administrative change affected our wait time which seemed to increase drastically during the last administration. Stay focused, determined and ready for the next step at all times. My prayers are with you all! NVC let’s go!
