FINALLY APRROVED 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🏹
I just got my I-130 approved after 15 months. It’s done and dusted.
These past few days were extremely challenging especially seeing others get approved while I waited, unsure. But today, I want to say:
Prayer works, even when it feels like nothing else is.
Thank you, God.
If you’re still waiting, I’m praying for you too. We all deserve our approvals 🙏🏿
Here’s What Helped Me:
• I got a second “Actively Reviewing” status, and just a few hours later, my approval notice appeared in the Documents tab of my USCIS account.
• I also took the step to speak to a live agent through Emma.
I was polite and respectful, and the agent gave me real inside updates that took a lot of stress off my shoulders.
• My advice:
If you feel stuck, talk to a live agent. Some are helpful, some less so but it won’t hurt your case. In fact, you’ll likely get more insight than a congressional inquiry can give you in the same timeframe.
Stay strong. Stay prepared. Your turn is coming.
