HI everyone :yes:

Well at least you have your NOA 2. ( I am very happy for you . It must feel fantastic.) :D

We also filed in August last year , so five months yesterday from NOA 1 ...................not a word.

Getting really discouraged. Trying to stay positive but you are right ... this limbo type of living and planning is not fun.

Any words of encouragement or hope from others in the same boat?

Strength in numbers, right?

Thank you:) I bet my shoes you must hear something soon! The thing that helped ME was not really checking everyday and keep myself as busy as possible and go to bed exhausted.Me and my fiancee did apartment hunting online as we want to move to the city of San Francisco once we are married.We talked about the honeymoon destination and the plans we have and things we want to do without mentioning the fact that we are waiting all the time.We are aware of it dont it doesnt need to make our conversation sad and sobby anytime we talk right? :)

Be good and I cross fingers for you!!!!! :)
