Check Status Syndrome...

[elya 17]

Yep, in the beginning you check constantly. Then about month 2 you taper off because you know you have a while to wait. Then at month 4 you start back up again. Then at month 5 you start going insane and make USCIS your homepage

Had to laugh at this - totally true!! Our five month mark will be Monday and I presently have both USCIS web page and Igor's list constantly up - just hit refresh periodically :-)

i check daily =( still awaiting our NOA 2 ...............our service center is apparently slow????

it feels like a eternity.....

You are not alone! This pause between booking an interview and the actual interview (wooo! your day will come too!!) is throwing me off - there is no status to check up on and my little internet routine is suddenly so short... I felt extremely OCD the last few months!

Wow...off topic, but congrats for your interview coming up!!! Best of luck!

Congratulations to those who have been approved already.

Good luck to those who are still waiting, just continue to pray.

Obviously you have never been in the US Army. It is the same game. Hurry up and wait wait wait. Good luck to you. Lots of good suppoetive people here. Wait till you get to NVC you will be calling every minute and the same thing - just faster

Just want to say that I wasn't a site-checker and it didn't hurt our chances whatsoever! We got NOA1 and NOA2 via the mail without a problem, never experienced any negatives due to not monitoring the USCIS site

So, by all means, check all you want!! But, if you stop checking, nothing bad is going to happen to your case.

Not necessarily - since USCIS is largely fee-supported, I've heard that it won't be greatly affected by a shut-down.

DUDE! I feel like I have this syndrome! I'm checking our status at USCIS website everyday, 3 to 5 times a day since we received our case number! and we are only waiting for a month now, we still have 5 or more months to go!!! I don't know if it just me or everyone here are doing the same...or I'm just getting nuts?!!!

Anyways, Good day and have fun ya'll!

I was the same way...It was exactly six months ,then i got a letter request for evidence, on day later i responded with everything they asked for.Then everything from that point on started moving a bit quick,we were apporved,then the case was sent to national visa center then 3 days later we had a case number.......

good for you I wish I can do that even after I enabled my email alert on, I still keep coming back to log on to it to check status...My fiance(the petitioner) is more relax than me. I'm the worrier between us. He told me to chillax (chill and relax ).. if it'll approve, it will approve! but i don't know... ...

dude! I'm in the verge of making USCIS website as my hompage...:P:P
