April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

We got approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........in my dreams of course!

Sorry I'm feeling silly tonight!

I feel I should be more patient due to our situation. This June makes 6 years since me and hubby met! We have always had a long distance relationship. When I tell people that, they are amazed. It has been SUCH a process. We are married we have a beautiful son together and now it's just time to be a complete family.

My son (who will be 3 in May) is now always asking to go on the plane to see his dad, he says he misses him and gets so sad somedays, it breaks my heart. Skype can only do so much justice. Our three week visit over the holidays wasn't enough (although I'm very grateful for that) I wish we could see each other every weekend. I often wish he lived in New York, me being in Toronto, I would take the drive/ bus and see him all the time. However, Miami is not a simple drive or bus ride away. It's becoming so expensive to fly. When our son was younger it was easier, plus being on maternity leave for the year, I pratically lived in Miami, gone for three months back in Toronto for a little and gone again. I took advantage of my time off. The first year was nice, but the visits now are not for as long, and not so close between, not to mention having to pay the full fare of my son now since he turned 2 has not been much fun.

I'm rambling and sharing useless info with you guys. I'm just reflecting on how long this process has been on a whole for us, I don't even know what I'll do with myself when everything actually starts falling into place. I will be beside myself. The day that I move will be surreal...waking up to my husband everyday for the rest of my life...it'll be heaven on earth!
