@Natalie DON’T LOSE HOPE!! I contacted my congressman after a while of not hearing anything and being outside of processing times. This process is a nightmare and has definitely affected my mental and coping capabilities but.. hold on.. your time is coming!

Congratulations
Tracey MJul 20, 2022
@N DeR They are definitely processing June 2021 as I’ve seen several approvals coming thru.. I’m sure you’ll hear something soon..if not start inquiring about your case! Best wishes
Rizwan khokharJul 21, 2022
you submit online or by mail RFE ?
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Rizwan Online
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
I honestly think because I started making a fuss they wanted to get me over with. Once I knew I was out of processing time and I hadn’t heard a word regarding my case, I started inquiring and escalating, not giving up. Just yesterday I submitted an expedite request after my RFE was received and was denied within hours. Then today I’m APPROVED. They were ready to see me go because I wasn’t letting up.
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ARE CONGRATULATING ME 🥰🥰I AM deeply humbled and wish all of you that are waiting to start putting your lives back together, a speedy approval. Don’t just sit back and say nothing…SAY SOMETHING!! Go get what you so deserve!!
Trevoy FergusonJul 21, 2022
@Tracey M 🤣🤣🤣 they saw that you were trouble
LaTravia ChimaJul 21, 2022
Travey M congratulations Im sooo happy for youuu!!!
Tamika OuaqdiJul 21, 2022
Tracy, I hope one day I can be excited as you. I hope one day this process for me and my husband can be over. I have not seen my husband for over a year and it's getting really frustrating, sad, irrating, and it's not good for the relationship. Reading your posts and knowing you have finally made it was so exciting for me to read. I have really been sad and lonely and getting a little depressed about the long processing timeframe. I hope one day to be able to have the excitement and enjoyment that you have had knowing that horrible process time is over. Congratulations....
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Trevoy 🤣🤣Yep.. not letting up
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
Thank you🥳🥳🥳 @LaTravia It was hard work
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Tamika Your time is coming. Trust and Believe. We are in the same boat. Married for 17 months now and haven’t seen him in 16 months. We still have a ways to go but it shouldn’t be another year. Try to think of it this way.. you’re more closer to approval than just beginning.. Best wishes😘
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
AND FYI.. this ranking thing is not very accurate. I’m still showing 11th out of 29 waiting for approval.. it may be really accurate for some but that’s my story..
Rudy RichJul 21, 2022
congratulations 👏🏾🙏🏾
Andy GodJul 21, 2022
@Tracey, congratulations. You really fought your way thru and it paid off. At some point, we won’t have anything to lose and we would start bombarding them with escalations and emails. Good job Tracey. if I may ask, which country is your spouse @?
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Andy God 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thanks you for your words to me. I did fight and even pulled a couple teeth in the process but dammit FINALLY! I was gonna keep bugging them with the truth 😂Nonstop. Wishing you all the best as well🤗
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Chosen Empress Thank you so much!! You’re next🙏🏽🤗
joe deJul 21, 2022

RICK HUNTERJul 21, 2022
congratulations dear Tracey
how long did your first and second actively reviewing take please/
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Black first was July 1,, 2021 after I filed online and today, 1 week after RFE Received.
Trevoy FergusonJul 21, 2022
@Tracey_M at the bottom of the approval notice check to see if is same service center that the case was sent to. My wife's case was sent to the Potomac service center and when I got the approval notice, at the bottom it says Nebraska service center and I didn't get any email or notification that the case was transferred.
Vee AJul 21, 2022
@Tracey. Congrats and finally
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Trevoy case was received in Texas but I knew back in July 2021 my case was transferred to CSC and that’s where it remained untouched until I started making a stink! They don’t tell you when it gets transferred.. I’ve learned so much along this journey about this broken system we call immigration. I had to fight for my approval. I think I was getting on their nerves lol
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@V M Exactly! I’ve cried blood sweat and tears and pulled a couple teeth in the process! At least for now I’m done with them until it’s time to remove conditions.. Thank you!
Trevoy FergusonJul 21, 2022
@Tracey_M I didn't get any email about the case being transferred and if I did look at the bottom of the approval notice I wouldn't notice either.
Corine TavarezJul 21, 2022

Tracey MJul 21, 2022

Natalie lucienJul 21, 2022
thank you....@tracey and @corine 🙏🏾
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Natalie You are so welcome and trust me..I understand your pain. Try to take it easy on yourself and stay busy if possible..🙏🏽
Corine TavarezJul 21, 2022
exactly. I am stressed out too girl. my one year wedding anniversary was yesterday and I am ready for my husband to be here. I’m ready to at least move past this stage. I pray I get my approval by mid august. @tracey what do you think?
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Corine I think YES!! I haven’t touched my husband since March 2, 2021 married 2/12/21 so I’m itching to be back with him. There are nights you will cry yourself to sleep. I even busted out crying before in front of my clients, but they were understanding. It causes serious mental anguish that you have to try to control and not allow it to consume you. Hang in there🙏🏽
Andy GodJul 21, 2022
@Tracey, you are hitting the nail on the head. Even as a man, I feel exactly that way. I wish I could be traveling every time to see her, but flight tickets, and my employer wouldn’t grant me vacation time every time. But I hope it’ll end soon. 😫😫😫
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Andy I’ve only seen my husband once in person. We’ve been in a relationship for over 4 years and married for 17 months. I can’t stand how this system plays with peoples lives this way. It’s really not right. I hope you get your wife soon.. I know how you feel, trust. I’m tired of waking up and going to bed alone!!
Corine TavarezJul 21, 2022
I agree. I am ready to be able to wake up to my husband every day. it will all be worth it in the end
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
@Corine I so look forward to say, 2 years from now, when we will be removing conditions on the CR1, then hopefully relocating to Uganda 🇺🇬! That’s the plan!
Corine TavarezJul 21, 2022
oh wow! my husband is from the Dominican Republic so we won’t be relocating there until we retire years from now. I’m really getting a lot of anxiety because I want my approval. it’s maddening
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
Have a drink or something.. try to calm your nerves. Crying helped me believe or not because I was able to are least release and express it outward and not hold it all inside.
Corine TavarezJul 21, 2022
yea I’m doing my best. I’ve been through a lot in the last year. my grandpa passed away last March. I got married last July. then in October my brother was killed tragically and this past February my grandma who helped raise me with my parents passed. so I am trying to do the best I can emotionally
Tracey MJul 21, 2022
Oooh my dear.. I’m so sorry for all you’re going thru but you know what? You are more than a conqueror! You’re still here!🤗
Corine TavarezJul 22, 2022
awww thank you. I’m doing my best. my brother was my best friend ever since he was little. and I keep reminding myself this process will not last forever
Tamika OuaqdiJul 22, 2022
Tracy, all my God everything you are saying I am going through RIGHT NOW. I'm getting sad, depressed, and really feeling so MANY EMOTIONS. I'm VERY ANGRY about the immigration system. I feel the immigration system is bull shit. I feel the immigration system is destroying relationships. I tried to apply for the Expedite Process; I applied on Monday Morning and in 3 days they denied my husband and I without asking for the 15 pages of medical documentation paperwork I got from my doctors. I don't have good health and it would be nice to have my husband around for support. My emotions are all over the place. My sadness and anger I feel is getting the best of me. I feel like busting my teeth out but that won't accomplish anything. My finances are not great at all due to covid and I'm also on disability. I feel power less about my situation and cannot change the immigration. I feel like my husband and I....our lives are on hold and cannot move forward in our marriage. I have not touched my husband since last year. I am a honest woman and faithful to my husband; I miss every part about being in a relationship. This process is creating problems in my marriage because we miss each other dearly. The immigration people don't want to talk to us. I don't want to talk to that stupid machine EMMA. I want to talk to a real live customer service agent. I can go see my husband but my medical problems are not good. My doctors are telling me NOT to fly back to Morocco. The last time i went to Morocco when I got back from Morocco I spent 45 days in the hospital. But overall I'm so happy for you. I am happy to hear a good story from you. I know you and your husband will just get on with you
