can I ask you? I applied for K1 visa and the USCIS received my case on May,17,2021 .. how long it takes to be approved? I feel you I’ve waiting for 275 days 🥺

I totally understand what you’re going through. I’m experiencing everything you said 😢

i understand you.I’ve been feeling that way for 7 years.6of these i was without any status.Feeling like some sort of leftover of society,because I couldn’t drive,I couldn’t work normal jobs,I couldn’t study,couldn’t see my family.applied last august,no EAD nothing yet from immigration.I have a one year old son,and I am stuck at home with him for a year now because i need a car in order to leave the house.My grandpa died couple weeks ago,he was waiting so eagerly to see me and his very first great grandson,but life happened.I am also pregnant with my second,and If I don’t hear from immigration and don’t get my GC asap-I won’t go home for the next couple years,because flying over 24 hours with two little kids is a nightmare for everyone on the plane.So I am feeling very anxious,because soon I will be closer to my due date and there is no way I could fly being 8 months pregnant.So yeah.,,feel you!

I personally had a really tought time with depression too, I strongly encourage you to go to therapy and someone who help you!

It's just today I was just here at home and a state of depression came down. Just thinking about not being able to work and having expenses, cant buy what you want, do what u want. It's like am stuck. I dont what's gonna happen next, I am just lost and depress. I ask myself the same thing what am i doing here? But i say at the end it will be for the greater good and I am going to leave it up to God to take control of the ship. You are not alone. Let's be strong together for each other.

Hey, Rema Ahmed! I am sorry, I cannot tell, especially now. But i consider us lucky since the whole process to the moment of getting the visa took just 13-14 months. We sent the application to USCIS in Jan, 2020, my case left NVC for Moscow embassy in December, 2020. In March, 2021 I got my visa stamp. But we were plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Trump/Pence.

I am sorry for what is happening to us and I hope that we will be with our husbands soon. I will pray to God for you. Thank you for the answer♥️

Thank you, r d, for sharing. Maybe it's harsh to say this, but it really helps knowing that I am not alone with such thoughts... However, I am that person who feels you entirely and feels sincerely sorry for your waiting too... I wish you all the luck! P.S. having the same thoughts on my mother country. It doesn't seem to be that bad anymore...

to help with the case you should definitely open a case saying it is outside the processing times and speak with a live agent! Things will work out!

this is very sad what immigrant go through just to be here.😢😢

hey hun am sorry but you’re not alone am going back and forth with immigration since 2017 and I left my 2 children back home so just keep the faith easier said than done I know but sigh I don’t even know. stay strong

I can feel you. it’s been 5 years since I saw my family. atleast I’m glad that I can able work on h4 ead. before that I had to wait 7 years to get that and legally to work here., I had gone through all the pain thru out those years and I know many are still in the same path.. and now waiting for GC, seems like our valueble years are spent on this waiting.. what can we do other than blaming this system. no one cares, at least try to get a work permit and try to occupy your self.

so sorry 😢

21 years without seeing my family and still waiting 😂 I don’t feel like myself I’m very depressed

Thank you for your support! I appreciate every comment you took time to write. I didn't expect such a response. I know my case isn't the worst, I would say I am still amongst the luckiest since I've been waiting for less than a year so far. And I know that some people wait for decades, which is impossible to even find words to comment on. It's unbelievable and I wish you all strengths and progress to get to the moment of meeting your families sooner... P.S. I did consider going to a psychologist, but my husband didn't want to spend money on it because it doesn't seem to be that bad yet..
