May 2010 CR-1/IR-1 Filers Thread

“Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (Corinthians 13:4-7)

Hello!! I filed April 22 and received my NOA1 April 29, so I'm borderline April/May filer. My case was last touched May 13... Two weeks seems like an eternity. But we do what we have to right?

Best of luck to you Jen and Geert, and to everyone who is waiting. Its SO hard, I check the USCIS website a dozen times a day, wait for the post every morning, and ....NOTHING! I know our time will come, but its so very very difficult.... :(

Being able to talk to everyone here is helping me through this rough patch, as it's not easy when you don't know whats next and waiting on that NOA2. We'll see what happens, hopefully the pace of approvals will pick up =)

this definitely feels chaotic with approvals dunno what to think about it right now except I think I'll make some calls tomarrow morning because it just feels uncomfortable not hearing any news at all on our petition yet, even a case touch would make me feel a bit better about it, I'm still within my timeline window though so I don't know.

I can only imagine what you're feeling, Jen. I'm sure it sucks hearing touches and approvals AFTER your case was filed.

I would call, contact congressman, whatever... Anything to lower your anxiety would be beneficial.

Hope and pray you'll hear some good news. (F)
