Congratulations again , I checked your timeline, You are very lucky 🍀.

I totally understand that, even though everyone is or has gone through the same journey, some people be like“ be patient”, “ don’t complain”. It’s absolutely okay to feel what you’re feeling because we are the ones who are still waiting. Toxic positivity is a thing whether people believe it or not! 
I can’t sleep at night anymore, I take melatonin every night, cry and bother my fiancé everyday, call Uscis and they’ve got nothing to say. It has affected my mental health so much that I don’t even feel like getting out of my bed anymore. My life has been reduced to this because of Uscis. 

You’re right.  Who knows with these people.  It could be 3 months, it count be in 2 weeks, or it could be tomorrow… although, I highly doubt that 😹
 
We can’t do anything but share our frustration.  A lot of people have moved on to the next step already.  We are still here in limbo.  

We’re 76500 range.  It’s been probably 3 weeks, or it feels more than that, that they approved a new case.  
 
im curious.  Can I just go to their California office and talk to them personally??? I so wanted to do that and see their faces and not just over the phone.  I want a live person to get an explanation, why they do this.
 
I want them to see how I really feel and let them know that we are not just case numbers or documents in their shelves.  We are human beings they keeping hostages.  Yes, they keep us hostages because our lives are at pause and we are stuck.  
 
USCIS is depriving us of our future.  How cruel is that???
 
I promised myself to stop posting because I will just get a comment to “be patient.”  Just like when I posted on fb… I had to delete it.  It’s irritating, because it’s like telling someone who is already angry, not to be angry.  I know I have to be patient.  But because I’m human, I get frustrated.  Sometimes, you just need to let that frustration air out, then you feel a little better.
 
With how things are going, I think the whole process will be over 2 years, from start to my fiancé stepping a foot in this country.   It’s 3x more than the original processing time when we started this application.  😡😭
 

I call at least once a week, and I even debate myself whether I want to waste an hour with these people.  Because I know what they will say anyway.  
I just thought that if I call them every week, they will know that we are still waiting for their decision.  Although, I don't know if it really makes any difference.
 
Anyway, on all my calls, they pretty much just read what's in the website.  I mean like, yes, we can ready what you're reading.  It's in the website!  
 
Last Friday, when I called, the tier 1 agent read the same thing so I asked to be transferred to a tier 2 agent.  She gave me a priority number.  I asked how long will I expect the call back.  At the back of my mind, I was expecting hmmmm maybe the next 5 business days... and I thought I was being generous.  But the lady told me to expect a call 7 to 30 days.  And in my mind, I was like, "sure! whatever!"  USCIS has let me down sooooo many times, that they don't surprise me anymore because I'm already expecting the worse from these people. 
 
What gets me though is the fact that they can actually finish the whole untouched April cases in a day if they really want to... or the whole April 2021 cases in less than a week if they will actually work on it.  It's frustrating.  I just cry and pray that God will somehow intervene.  I really don't know what to do at this time.

I got approved today August 15 2022 so happy 

Can someone please explain how they can leave 150 cases untouched for April while move onto May and June?
 
Is there a problem with these cases?
Are these cases lost?
Are they just refusing to look at them?
 
These April cases are so far past their inquiry dates how has USCIS still not processed them, it's actually unbelievable....
 
What is USCIS even saying to these people who are inquiring about their cases?

15, April 2021 , still waiting for my approval 😔

Hi sorry for the late reply. 
it was just a regular outside of normal processing request. 
I think when you’re well outside of your “normal” processing time that’s on USCIS page, you can put in a request to pay more attention to your case.
im sorry I don’t know the official name for the request:( 

Hi , What kind of request you put in , I have been calling them and They say to me , You have to wait , It has been 107 day since They receieved my RFE . I did inquiry my case 3 times no result at all . I hope so too .

Do you know How they go each group for example I m group in 72xxx but They skipped  that group ..

I'm hopeful to see 5 new cases approved in 69000 range.  
But then again, I'm cautious and not have my hopes high.  USCIS is really in crashing your hopes. 😆😫
