Hi Panki
I'm this days very, very frustrated wife

but helps me a lot talking daily to my husband, and AVOID immigration subjects.
Wish you the soonest approval possible.
Indeed, Calamitka is correct. It makes things easier to avoid talk of immigration. When that is the main focus it makes the entire process seem to drag for longer and longer. I found it easier to go through this journey looking at an estimated completion date, rather than at each and every little detail and delay e.g I began the journey in April 2007 and was very frustrated until I set my sights on a Feb 2008 visa approval, it made it so much easier because (even with the minor delays in the process) everything was still on track, overall, to reach that goal.
I don't think there is a set time for how long a petition can be with an adjudicator, as it all depends on how many cases that adjudicator is given at one time to work on, the complexity of the case, whether or not all required information is there, and whether the name checks go through quickly or not.
I wish you the best though
