September 2015 Filers

I understand that, I am still waiting for the delivery confirmation from USPS as they are still showing our package "in transit to its destination"....Just goes to show you how "timely" our postal service is...not!! I'm glad yours made it without a hitch. Wish mine would show up. I know I'm impatient but I've had so many issues with the postal service the last several months that this is just another annoyance from them for me especially when you pay extra to have it sent with tracking and everything and it still is "in transit". Sighs...sorry for the rant.

Lol....totally understand, I'd probably be going crazy if I were your shoes.Hopefully today it will get delivered. I'm feeling extremely anxious about this whole process, I guess its normal to feel like i forgot a million and one things to put into the package. Praying and hoping for the best for both of us.

I understand your worries. But you'll see that eventually the package will get there, that is all matters!

Try to be positive, be nervous and anxious don't bring anything good.

I got stressed out a lot. But, all it really matters is my love that is waiting for me overseas. That's the most important thing. Positive energy attracts other positive energy. Try to think it in that way

I know it is hard...trust me, I am doing this too.

One of the many good things about this forum is that you don't feel so alone, knowing others are going through the same process and understand the different emotions you are going through yourself. Its hard to really explain it to someone that isn't in the same position and has never had to deal with this. Keeping Positive as can be and do what I can and have control of. Trying to let go of everything that I can't control, even though that's hard for an OCD control freak like me, lol Positive vibes to all of you too!!

Did you check the estimated approval time on here? Mine is 3 weeks after NOA1 so I think you should hear something next week hopefully you should also get the phone app. It's great and easy for getting updates on your case

I'm laughing with you as you are so right. You'll haven't really thought about what lies ahead of you after the visa is approved. You have AOS, ROC and Naturalization (if you so choose). Think of as a baby. Some of you are still in the womb with USCIS and like a baby at birth, only mother nature knows for sure when the baby will be born. It's the same her with the process.

Take it from someone who went before you, and believe when I say this, our times were much longer then most of you are experiencing now. Best thing to do is go about your life and only check once a day otherwise, your going to keep adding stress to your life. The smartphone app really can help folks. You'll get beep, probably before you even get a chance to check yourself. Details are in my link below. Just my two cents.

That's about the best comparison to this whole process I've heard so far lol! Most people, myself included easily forget that this is only the beginning of a very long process, but eventually we're all gonna get there and staying positive and relaxed is very important

The app is awesome! It's so easy to use and it's gonna be very helpful during the next couple of months.
