Welcome to our thread @Cristina0123. My DQ date is February 12, 2025; so, I expect we will both receive our appointment assignments soon. Based on my data, I expect to receive a notification in March 2026. I saw some people with January DQ dates receiving appointments this month; so, it's not unreasonable to hope for a notification in February. 

 

My spouse is Mexican and lives in Guadalajara. I am in Mexico a lot; so, we see each other regularly. My home is in Seattle, WA. Waiting over two years has been grueling, but hope is starting to spring forth as we approach 1 year from our DQ date. 

Thanks for the warm welcome Josh! I am starting to feel hope again too! I want absolutely nothing more than for our little family to be together again. My husband is in Queretaro, Que. We have been married since 2003 but we kept putting off fixing his papers then we moved to Mexico. Not starting his paperwork is one of my biggest regrets. My little girl and I have been in Dallas, TX since Nov. 2021. I had to come back for my health. My daughter has stayed with him every Summer since then. Unfortunately, I only see him when I drop her off and pick her up. She just turned 10 and I am scared he is going to miss it all. Girls need their dad around and she adores him. I pray and believe we will hear something soon! I will keep you posted! 😊
