Mental Health during GC process
Hello everyone,
I’m in the EB3 skilled category (registered nurse) and the retrogression is stressing me out a lot. I spend hours on different platforms hoping to hear some good news/change and I feel like it’s driving me crazy. I should be grateful that my I-140, EAD, and AP were approved pretty quickly but I can’t seem to shake the fear of what the retrogression may bring. I hear the EB3 skilled category will become current in Oct 2023 (new fiscal year) but ofc it’s all predictions and we don’t know what the future holds. I want to get my mind off all things immigration related and just have it in the backseat.

Same thing here, I’m tired of thinking in my GC, I’m in EB4, and facing a retrogression, hopefully things are gonna change in October.

A lot of people are in the same mental distress like you including me. Keep up the hope like all of us.

if you have mental health benefits through work, try leverage those.

hi @Liv I I’m in the same situation like you. I’m a nurse too and it’s been 6 weeks I haven’t received my i765 receipt notice yet. I’m also worrying about the retrogression as well. Hopefully it will go back to normal by October

Hi @Liv I everyone has the same experience. Be grateful as you have already an i-140 plus the ead. Others are still waiting. I am a nurse too and I am waiting for the PD to be current. Just have a positive mindset all is going to be well.

I am optimistic that EB-3 becomes current in October. The category gets a 45,000 visa allocation. Unlike EB-4, which gets 10,000 visas and has been retrogressed by 5 years.

hey greencard girl we just feel the same im having a mental distress too and only people who’s been on my situation can understand me. Some people think our situation is not stressful enough but they are wrong, this waiting game for gc will make you feel anxious worried and sad all the time.
