Gratz to everyone that has been approved this month!!! I have realized that alot of approvals are going on right now at the VSC for July, and I just cannot seem to stay away from USCIS website.
It's so depressing at times wondering if it will ever happen, I login to check case status, and then I'm almost afraid to look. Then I peek at it and no changes It's so frustrating right now, and I know we have not even been waiting as long as some of you have. How do you all keep your sanity?

I checked last night just before bedtime. Not a touch. NOTHING!

Got to work in the morning to be greeted with the approval email!

Much sooner than I expected, so you just never know! Keep the faith!

ETA: I was not sane one moment throughout the wait for NOA2! A basket case the whole time! But it is so worth the hellish wait!

The minute I saw I had been touched on the 28th, I was constantly checking to see if I had been approved yet.

When I did go to bed that night, I actually had visions in my head of checking the site and seeing the update.

Then, on the 29th when I really woke up, I did in fact have my approval...roughly a month before I had been personally expecting it

Everyone wants their NOA2, and those whose cases are especially frustrating (we know who they are) try so hard to maintain the a semblance of sanity, but I have to imagine that even through some strong posts on VJ...they are emotionally broken on the inside. I know I would be if it were me

I've checked my bank a few times today to see if the check has been cashed

I cant tell you how many nights I stayed up very very late....checking my status and simply checking for new approvals on VJ. I was shocked to be approved in November. I didnt really expect it until the new year. but someone turned on the faucet and the out rushed a wave of approvals!

I know how you feel. I check the BCIS so many times a day and each time I hope there is a change but never even see it touched. It very hard to be apart from someone when you love them and miss them so much. Its been 2 months since I was last in the Philippines to see my beautiful ShaSha and I miss her so much. Goodluck to you and everyone that is waiting.

Sane? Sanity?!? What on Earth is that?!

Lol

I check most days - even the weekends... still nothing Must say that despite the late start VSC had it seems to be blasting through the approvals now - taking a shorter average time that CSC for July anyway

heheheeh.....hahahahaa....EVIL LAUGH!!!!! I HAVE NO SANITY LEFT...... But in the end its worth it. This will be small stuff in the grand scheme of things....its hard at times...but I think I"ve finally adjusted...My vise isn't checking USCIS...its HERE. I know that the positive energy is here...ONLY here will you find others that truely understand what you think, feel and want. People like thejoz, byron, juzzebelle, Mirla, Melandsly...and so many others...become family. Its HERE that they make you feel you can be who you are and share all the emotions, heartache and joys that go along with this process. Some have waited with so much patience, with so much positive energy...They are the true heros to me. KEEP THE FAITH.....you are not alone in how you feel..............

i was fine up until a week or so ago. Then a friend of mine called to say he got his NOA2 approved, and he filed after me, even had trouble with his application, and he was already approved. (He's not on VJ, even though i asked him to post...)
That's when i think i became crazy. i know it's still early for me, and i am really hopeful for those of you who have been waiting since May or June. i'm putting the positive vibe out for you all, truly...

but even though, i'm on the early side, i'm always studying VJ now trying to make sense of it all... and i try to limit myself to looking at USCIS once a day... i'm trying not to look this weekend! it's like waiting for a watched pot to boil...

good luck everybody...

Nit and I did, but we are exactly 13 hours apart so she had the nite shift, and I had the day shift. Or did she have the day shift and I had the nite shift? So glad THIS ride is over and we can finally move on

Ditto that

.........FRANTICALLY CHECKING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY!!!

...case received and pending, no touches no nothing!
