I’m so confused as to how they are advancing so much on 2020 cases my husbands CC is September 2019 and he’s been in Mexico since December 2019 almost two years and nothing! 

I know and I agree! I never forget for a moment how blessed we truly are! As sad and angry I get through this journey I know without a doubt how blessed we are! I have to remind myself daily if not I will lose my marbles! 😭🤪

Maybe that’s how they decide who is separated or not! However during our process of the whole filling for him he ended up in immigration court because we live close to the Canadian border so he was detained by ICE and I had to pay $10,000 to get him out that was in 2017 he was then let go and afterward he was given a work permit a social security and a drivers licenses. Anyways I’ll try to make a short story he had to go through immigration court on august 2019 and we were so lucky/blessed because the judge was so nice she gave him a choice to fight his case in front of her which would had been set for feb 2020 or he could go to his parents in Mexico and wait for his appointment “no longer than 6 months” well we chose voluntary departure because we were going to have to pay thousands of more to fight his case. Of course now we wished we would have done it that way! So he had to leave by Dec 24 2019 which is why we are separated! 

The waiver was approved a long time ago everything is completed has been since 2019! We are merely just waiting for an appointment!

I just got another email saying another 60 days. My husbands CC is September 2019 he’s been in Mexico since December 2019 and Im in the US. Almost two years and nothing. It’s miserable! 

@wcdog thank you so much and the same for you guys I hope that you get an interview soon as well! 

@wcdog there is a Facebook group CC 2019 that I’m part of and is helpful because we are all in the same situation of waiting. My husbands cc is September 2019 he’s been in Mexico since December 2019 and still no interview! 

My prayers are with you as well! I think often of every family that is going through this. I feel like those who have never been through this journey have no idea the pain.

I am. he has been in Mexico since dec 2019. It has been so so hard on the kids and myself

Yeah we’ve had our attorney and senator both submit inquires! All my attorney can tell us is that she is seeing appointments move quickly so she’s hoping ours will be soon as well! 

That what I don’t understand is how this works. Our case DQ like completely done September 2019 he’s been gone since December 2019 this feels unbearable at times. Almost 2 years being separated from the kids and I! I get so many families are in the same situation but man I never expected it to be this long. 

@HRQX oh okay gotcha thank you then ours has been DQ since September 2019

Hello I am new here but I am desperate to find some hope! My husband has been in Mexico because we chose VD but everything about our case is complete it is just awaiting on an appointment date it has been completed since September 2019 and he left to go to Mexico December 2019 the kids and I have been a few times to visit him but guys just like I’m certain others are desperate we are in an awful depression because we miss him so much!  Our attorney just keeps saying appointments are being made quickly so hopefully his will come soon. Can anyone give me maybe a tiny bit of hope? I am in dire need of it. Being separated for almost two years has taken its toll on us in every way! 
 

thanks and God bless! 

@Chancy oh thank you for this, but May I ask what does DQ stand for?  

@Lucky Cat I can certainly try to go through my emails and try to find out! 

@Boiler I was told by our attorney because he had been in the country for over 10 years. Honestly I am not sure how else to answer this is all we were told. my  Apologies.

@Boiler we didn't even know he could had applied but the attorney told us about it after we paid the $10,000 bond in October 2017 a few months later she said you know he qualifies for this lets apply so we paid for the fees and applied then 6 months later he received it in the mail along with a social security number.

Oh trust me that is something we regret every single day! We talk about how we feel awful that we didn't just go ahead with it. I guess we just thought it was going to be a quick 6 months and at least this would be a time for him to spend with his siblings and parents he hadn't seen in 19 years. I feel like it causes me literal pain in my gut and heart thinking about what we should have done.  Also thank you! I pray this year is the year!

Yes we did and it was approved. he has a clean record only been pulled over for no licenses. I want to also add he was even given a work visa and drivers licenses the last year he was here. 

Hey I guess I should have added we did get an approval for a waiver. We are completely finished with every aspect we are just waiting on his appointment for his interview. Thanks!

Hello everyone, 

I am here to trying to maybe get some insight to what is going on with others and their wait time. I will try and make this short. My husband and I started dating in 2014 then married in 2016 and right after I filed paperwork to start our journey on making him a legal resident of the US. He came over at the young age of 13. Anyways long story short in 2017 he was pulled over because we forgot to put the sticker on the car and of course he had no licenses so he was taken to jail they told him they would let him sign himself out soon but when i got there they told me ICE had been called so I had to pay $10,000 I drove all the way to Minneapolis and paid the bond then went to Grand forks to pick him up since then our case took a detour. After a long process we eventually were able to continue with our journey and in September 2019 our case was documentarily completed everything was accepted and paid for the only thing we were waiting on was an interview date. However the month before in August 2019 he had immigration court and the nice judge gave him the option to stay and fight his case (which would cost us another $8,000 with our attorney) or we could just do Voluntary departure and he wait on his appointment in Mexico we were told it would possibly be up to 6 months so we agreed to that. He left in December 2019 and to the date of July 1st 2021 he is still there waiting for his appointment we have not heard anything. I understand covid was never expected and of course messed that up for thousands if not more families. 

So does anyone have any ideas of when or how much longer? His interview will be in Juarez, Mexico we have just been told our case is just at the NVC awaiting for the consulate in Juarez to give them an appointment date. I am well aware that everyone else is affected just as much, but I don't know how much longer we can do this. We have 3 children and one grandchild he was only able to see for a week as she was born a few days before he left. Anything would help! Thanks so much and God Bless!
