Hopefully, my fiance can pick it up Monday or Tuesday

I hope. The waiting and not knowing what is happening is the worst part. I hope we all get the passports back soon

it says non-immigrant

We got NOA2 on June 26th! Now just waiting to hear about a case number etc. I hope this never half of the process is quicker.

I've been having a really bad week due to problems at work, feeling homesick (my family lives in NH and I live in Mississippi), missing my fiancé, and a pile of assignments for graduate school. I was just working on my paper and saw I received an email...I logged onto gmail and saw that my case was APPROVED!!! What a wonderful way to end a horrible week. For those of you still waiting your time is coming up soon, I promise. Our NOA1 date was December 29th and my lawyer was saying "you probably won't hear anything until the end of July or early August," so I am happily surprised about the email I received tonight. Do not give up everyone!!! I have a feeling that more approvals are coming.

Thanks Everyone!
I know what it feels like to wait and see other couples get approved left and right. I wanted to share some of the things I have done in this process that have helped me handle all of the approvals and waiting to hear back from USCIS. It’s all about self care (I’m a social worker haha) and staying sane!!

1) Don’t Give Up
Your next!! Waiting is the hardest part of this process and there were times when I felt like quitting. Although the waiting sucks and hurts I’ve come to realize that going through this process is going to bring my fiancé and I closer to together. If we can get through this process I think we will be able to get through a lot of other things that come our way in life. Don’t give up! I feel like December approvals are starting to come in more quickly now. The reason why I posted our approval status was not to brag but to give y’all hope that your next and to NOT give up.

2) Suspend All Expectations
Our case got approved when I least expected it to happen. I know a lot of couples who have gone through the K-1 process. Each case I’ve seen has been different and I learned very quickly that comparing my process to what my friends went through was not going to help. Any expectations you have for this process - put them on the back burner it will give you better piece of mind.

3) Don’t Get Online Every Day
Although this website is wonderful…I started getting online every day and became easily frustrated by all the approvals and progress made on other cases but my own. One day I realized that checking every day was not healthy and creating stress in my life. Something needed to change so I started only checkin visa journey twice a week and then finally got down to once a week. Believe me this will help bring down your stress and anxiety about waiting to hear something from USCIS.

I contacted mine through the form on his website and made sure to fax the privacy release form the same day. Someone in my family knows him and I've met him several times so I said that and also told him about my Peace Corps service and how I met my fiance. Basically a little about our story. Then I talked about how long we had been waiting and the disparity between Texas and California and how unjust it is that we have to wait longer solely because of my state of residence.I think that was the gist of it. Good luck. You don't lose anything trying.
