I agree with everyone else who's already written. This forum and these friends we have in each other by common experience -- they can certainly help buoy us. However, I try hard not to log on here too too often or check my case status but maybe once a month, b/c I find I get really panicky and develop immense tunnel vision with worse-case scenarios playing out in my head over and over. What if I forgot something. What if they reject us? What if they lost our file? And spiral from there. It's not healthy.
We have to trust history here. History says that no two peoples' cases, irrespective of their similarity in dates, circumstances, or countries, indicates a commonality of dates of notice.... not really.... History also tells us this process is RIDICULOUSLY slow.
So.... chins up, everyone. We're all in this slog together, and we really are in it together. BIIIIIIG Hugs to each of you. ((((((VJ friends))))))
Prayers going up for you all (and for me and my hubby)!
Just to be sure I understand...
In this instance, I am disadvantaged by over a year by virtue of being a U.S. citizen myself, petitioning for my Canadian husband?
Does this mean my paperwork has NOT been routed to the NBC, despite the fact that my claim number indicates "MSC" before the number?
I am sooo confused!
