@Fran fine girl I saw a post and I was like “ITS TIME” 😭. stil here. was wondering where you were 😂😂. nothing happening over here except March 2024 approvals 🙃

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 pure 2024...we deh a back...have you heard from what's her name...I forgot.

@Fran fine VS and jet blue just disappeared from the app once they got their approvals, I assume, with no exit note lol. it’s just me, you, patiently waiting and a few more that have really picked up the constant refresh for new info 😂 my progress went to 3 weeks on Jul 11 and hasn’t moved since. they are PLAYINNNNNNNN

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 lmao.....I'm on the floor with that comment..lol..we'll mine is still at 20 months

I guess we can just be thankful that by the time they get to us we will be getting 10 year cards 🤷🏻‍♀️. brb gotta get polio vax. not sure how I made it all these years @Fran fine

@Fran fine - Nice to have you back. I was wondering if you got approved. @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - Wait a minute, you didn’t have the polio vaccine as a kid?

@Patiently Waiting girllll and not inform you guys..not all. @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 you gonna get Vax. are you still going on vaca?

@Patiently Waiting well hilariously enough when I asked the province I was born in for my vaccination records they didn’t have any. I asked my mom and she was like “yea I never vaccinated you as a kid” 😂😂😂. so I started getting vaccines in junior high and had the ones I needed (luckily!) for the USCIS medical, hep B and MMR. but yea apparently no polio. I was shocked. but I lived alllll this time without it so was just gonna roll with it lol. @Fran fine yea I am still going on vacation. not that worried about it. my home airport (Canada) has US customs at the airport so I go through them with Canadians and my experience at that airport has been great every time I’ve entered for immigration or got visas. so I’m not really stressed about it.

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - That’s crazy! I couldn’t even start JK in Ontario without all my vaccines. I remember getting that booster in my butt like it was yesterday. 😂😂😂 You’re lucky you can travel…I’m dying to escape this Florida humidity. LOL!!

@Patiently Waiting how old are you? I’m 38. I was born the year the vaccine schedule exploded but my parents opted out. I guess it wasn’t required in SK or AB. it was religious for my family so maybe there was an exemption? some states have them here. I think the MMR and hep B were required when I was 12 or so so I got them at school.

@Fran fine @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - what’s your estimated times showing now? My I-130 went down to 13 months today, I-485 - 5 months and I-131 says 1 week. Just curious if you guys have the same or similar?

130 is at 12 months and 485 is sticking at 3 weeks for 2 weeks in a row now. frozen. they are not trying to get to a decision @Patiently Waiting

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - I just turned 44

@Patiently Waiting so weird. there must have been an exemption for religious reasons. I gotta ask my mom next time we talk. they were crazy Christian’s which I now find out was cultish lol

@Patiently Waiting my dad would lose his mind if he found out I got vaccinated lol

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - Oh ok, yeah that makes sense for the hep b because I remember having to get them in high school

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - OMGSH 😅! I think my Foster sister was in a cult too but she won’t admit it. Yeah you must’ve had an exemption then. Even though I know it has absolutely no merit on when a decision will be made, I’d still feel much better if mine was sitting at 2 weeks.

@Patiently Waiting yea I know 3 weeks feels good but my countdowns have been down to zero twice already and then back up ridiculous timelines so I don’t think it means literally anything. it actually gives me anxiety that it’s just stalled now. am I getting an interview because my family was in a cult? lmao

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - ahahahahahahahaa! I’m dying! 😂😂😂😂😂

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - I don’t even know how many countdowns I’ve had and when we submitted everything our FO said 80% completed within 11 months and now it says 21. I hope I don’t have to wait that long. 🥺

oops…I meant to say 3 wks not 2

@Patiently Waiting my Charlotte office also says 80% in 21 months. but I just saw a guy get transferred there and approved in 1 month so I donno wtf is going on

@Patiently Waiting oh and he met his wife in Dec 2023, married her in Jan 2024 and got his GC in July 2024. so there’s that too. 😡

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - That makes zero sense. So frustrating! 😔 Why are all these new applications getting approved but there’s still people waiting from 2020 or 2021. Like why not get through them first?! I would be a lot more understanding about waiting if that were the case but this… is bonkers.

I know. March 2024 is the highest approval block right now. it’s plain as day!!! if you’re not in one of two waves I think you’re a straggler like us. and it’s luck. @Patiently Waiting

@Fran fine @Patiently Waiting GUYS I GOT A NOTICE OF ACTION ON MY 130!!!! nothing on my 485 yet but they are at least looking at the 130! I don’t have a login for my husbands account online but it’s a step in the right direction!!!

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - Yes! Omgsh my heart just skipped a beat! I’m sooo excited for you! …but not gonna lie, I’ll be sad to see you go. ❤️ Let us know when you get more info. Eeeeeeee!!!! 🙌😀😀😀

Yes🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳..look at God coming thru....@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Patiently Waiting mi get nervous same time. I'm so happy.

@Patiently Waiting @Fran fine it’s been super uneventful. nothing else has happened. I asked Emma and she was like “your case is being actively reviewed there is nothing outstanding at this time byeeeeee”. who knows. but I will take something, anything.

and also I’m not going anywhere, I live here.

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 it will be approved by tomorrow in Jesus name...Amen.

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 that's a win ma girl..we will take it..God an time🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

@Fran fine - I know girl- I’m nervous too! @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - Maybe they’re reviewing your I-485 right now and they won’t tell you about anything until your approvals are uploaded. We all know Emma is a compulsive liar. 😂

yes! I am hoping they don’t wanna just play with me and leave me hanging for a few months. @Fran fine

Emma doesn’t give a flying f*ck about us. @Patiently Waiting

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 lol..not a fly..ik that's right 🤣😂🤣😂

anticipation is eating me alive 😂😂 SEND HELP. I am not ok lol. I wish my husbands 130 account was active. I asked Emma and she was zero help and didn’t say I was approved. that was 8 mins after action taken though. @Patiently Waiting @Fran fine

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 help is here goodie...hang in there girl...your going to get a respond soon and very soon

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - I’ve been thinking about you all day and waiting to hear something from you while simultaneously refreshing my USCIS account a million times. 😂 My Husband just got his 3rd activation code on Wednesday…I made him activate it right away this time. Fingers crossed…can’t wait to hear some good news!

@Patiently Waiting aww thank you. yea I keep refreshing too. but from what I see it’s not usually posted until the next day. tbh I am not worried about the 130. I just care that they approve the 485. and I have the account for that

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - 💯 I bet it will be approved by tomorrow. Is your I-130 still showing 12 months? Mine just went down to 10 today

@Patiently Waiting yea still says 12 months.

@Patiently Waiting @Fran fine only update I can see today is my 130 progress increased from 12 to 13 months. I can’t 😭

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 today today you will hear something..hold the faith it's coming.

❤️@Fran fine

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - Hopefully by the end of the day you’ll hear something ❤️❤️❤️

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - anything yet?

@Patiently Waiting no 😭 it is Saturday but honestly I’m not holding my breath. I wish I could see my husbands account lol. but nothing happened on my 485 at all today… so who knows. I read on Reddit of someone that got approved on both 3 days later so I’m hoping that’s what happens to me. 🤞🏼🙏🏼

Yeah I wish you could see his account too! @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Ah well, maybe by Monday?! 🤞🤞🤞

@Patiently Waiting 🤞🏼❤️

@Fran fine @Patiently Waiting still nothing. my 130 progress turned from 12 months on the day it went into active review to 13 months yesterday to 5 months today. zero change on the 485. I’m in a fucking spiral of anxiety. my whole family hates me right now because I’m miserable. my husband thinks I’m crazy for giving it any energy at all but I just feel like I can’t take it anymore. they’re really fucking with my emotions right now in a way that’s not healthy. 😭

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Girl I know your anxious...I can't wait for you to get your breakthrough which is coming sure. Don't give it too much thought when you get a send active review which I see people saying it alot, we will definitely know whatntime it is....APPROVAL

I just need something. an interview notice. a confirmation from Emma that it got transferred. SOMETHING. @Fran fine thanks for listening. 😭❤️

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 I understand... I use to be just like that. I just stop looking and start laughing I gues it will catch me off guard. I think you should focus on something else and everything will just fall in place. love you girl stay strong I am always here.

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - OMGSH I just got a notification of action too but nothing is there. I know exactly how you’re feeling now.

I just got a second notice of action and now 1-130 says actively reviewing @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Fran fine

@Patiently Waiting omgggggggg.....come thru...girl look under the tap👀

are you seeing anything @Patiently Waiting

this means I'm next in line for my blessing 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

@Fran fine - I did but nothing there. yessss girl you’re next! ❤️🙏🙌

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Fran fine - our I-130 is approved. The approval is in my husbands account. Thank GOD he activated his account the other day.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳yesssssssss

@Patiently Waiting bap bap bap bap

@Patiently Waiting was it at a FO office? I can't remember...I'm so happy for you..omg

@Fran fine - So happy! Just waiting on the I-485 now. The approval notice said it came from NBC. I don’t know if it went to the fo. I never got any notifications about it

@Fran fine - Thanks girl! I’m waiting for news from you guys now 🙏

@Patiently Waiting I'm soo excited for you...congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳...I'm next in line.@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 your second actively reviewing will be next

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - I am sending you huge hugs! Your approval is coming! ❤️❤️❤️

@Fran fine - ❤️

omg!!!! @Patiently Waiting !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ did your status change yet on lawfully?

@Patiently Waiting I’m sure that because you got 2 emails your 485 will be tomorrow!!!! so happy for you ❤️❤️🎉🎉. @Fran fine you’re next girl!

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 I'm just so happy to hear good news from both of you.....I'm soon happy imma cry😪😭

@Fran fine your profile says you applied January 2024?

@Fran fine I have zero good news so far

@Patiently Waiting does your 485 progress show you’re on step 4 now?

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 I filed for my kids in January and February of this year so I guess it's giving that account.

I honestly don't know where this account came from...after I changed my phone I get this🤷‍♂️@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸

oh I didn’t know you had kids!! mom crew over here. how long have you been apart from them? @Fran fine

2 years...I miss them so much@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 3 girls

@Fran fine that’s awful. I’m so sorry. I literally cannot even begin to imagine how hard that is. I pray you get all the emails and all the approvals

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 thanks hun....I cry from time to time. it's really hard but I tell myself I have to stay strong for them. I feel like I'm missing out on the important stuff that hurts me. But I will prevail, my breakthrough is near.

my friend left her daughters in Trinidad years ago for like 5 years. they are literally the closest mother and daughters I’ve ever seen. you might miss stuff but you’re their mama and they’ll always know that. @Fran fine

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 thank you so much for your support...I can feel the love from right here🥰....I appreciate you ladies @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Patiently Waiting

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - It hasn’t changed to approved yet. It says actively reviewing as of July 28 but says that status was updated 17 hours ago. The I-485 is still on step 3 and status says response to RFE received.

@Fran fine - The most difficult thing in the world is to be away from your kids. My 22 year old son is still in Canada…going to college. I haven’t seen him for 2 years also. 😭 It breaks my heart! Praying for all of us to be done with this soon. ❤️🙏

@Patiently Waiting ok so sounds like we are in a similar state right now. I wonder if my 130 is approved too. I’m gonna ask Emma tomorrow. I read a lot of people get multiple sets of emails a few days apart so I’m hoping I have an officer that doesn’t work weekends 😂. then Fran is next. August is for @Fran fine

@Patiently Waiting aww I’m sorry about your baby too 😭. my 2 and 5 year old are laughing in the tub right now and I’m feeling super grateful even though parenting is the literal hardest. always gotta count your blessings I guess.

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - Could you ask your lawyer if they see an approval in their account? Yes parenting is 💯 the most difficult job in the world. Our 12 and 6 year old are here with us. Just missing my oldest. He’s currently living with his Dad and Grandma so I’m not super worried about him just miss him a lot.

@Patiently Waiting you need to get him a plane ticket mama!

@Patiently Waiting - I’ve offered a million times. He’s not really talking to me at the moment though. He’s been completely ignoring my calls and texts. I’m pretty sure he’s not happy I’m here but won’t actually come out and say it. I need to go see him….but can’t leave here yet. Such an awful feeling!

whoops I tagged myself in my last comment @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 😂

I get that. I had issues with my mom too in my early 20s. he will come around. your time is coming soooooon! @Patiently Waiting

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Patiently Waiting..girls I fell asleep. I'm at work now. @w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 I said the exact same thing when I was texting that August will be my approval. @Patiently Waiting when you get your approval and go see your son he will cry,he misses you just has how you miss him.I had issues with my mom as well and still going through it too.

@Fran fine - Yes as soon as I’m able, I’m going to see him. 🥺 I hope you’re through this soon and can see your girls too. ❤️❤️❤️

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 - I just checked my USCIS account and noticed the time on my I-485 went down to 1 week and the third step is now checked off. Does that mean they waived the interview? Or maybe scheduled one? My heart is beating out of my chest and to top it off I have a job interview this morning. So much anxiety about both now. 😂

@Patiently Waiting you’re getting approved today. that means interview is waived my friend!!! I have read about 800 stories on Reddit and an approval yesterday on 130 and step 3 checked off means you’re getting your 485 approval notice today :) I’m excited for you!!!!! my progress on 485 finally stopped being frozen and went down to 2 weeks total and 1 week for interview if necessary. we will see. maybe they want to interview me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Patiently Waiting ahhh and an interview for a job! lol. this is too much!!!!!! good luck. you’re gonna have your damn green card sooooon!!! ❤️❤️

@Patiently Waiting the interview has been waived🥳🥳🥳🥳...I'm so excitedddddddd. omg

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Fran fine - Seriously?! OMGSH…the anticipation is killing me! I need to hear some good news from you guys too! 🤞❤️

yep. Today is your day. I’m a ball of nerves over here. @Patiently Waiting
