Hi lostinNJ,

Yes, we remember you. Thank you for starting this wonderful thread. It is tough to now imagine a life without VJ family members. It was very nice of you to bring all of us together to share our stories, lean on each other and get support and guidance from each other.....thank you for making this happen!!

Hello everyone,

I just would like to say Happy New Year to everyone and may 2012 bring everyone speedy approvals and lots of happiness. Some of you may know me and some of you may not. I started the first VAWA thread; I remember starting this Thread because no information on VAWA were on this forum. I was lost, I had many unanswered questions and most of all I felt like I was going through my journey alone. This thread was started by me asking one simple question and I ended up with an entire family of people who were going through the same problems as I was. This thread and the wonderful people I've had the pleasure of meeting gave me so much hope and helped me to stay strong. Yes!! the process is a grueling wait, sometimes you want to lose hope and give up on everything but my message to all of you is to stay strong, be positive and lean on each other. It's the people that I've met on here that kept me fighting day in and day out, we leaned on each other for strength, hope and positivity. My I-360 took a whooping 20 months before I was finally approved.I believe if you are truthful and honest about everything in this process you have nothing to worry about and believe me, USCIS knows what's true and what's false. Please keep the faith, keep hope alive and believe that your journey will soon end and good things will come your way. it's been (2) years since my journey has been over, but it seems as if it was just yesterday. I will apply for Citizenship in October of this year. I wish you all the best of luck in this journey and may you see the light at the end of the tunnel in 2012.

Macbook, they say that they will update it on the 15th of every month. They don't always stick to that timeline. Coupled with the fact that last couple of weeks were holidays for USCIS office, I'm not shocked that they have not updated their processing times. Although, they might update it sometime this month....

Sure, we will! Thank you so much for reaching out. How does it feel now when you're done with the past and so close to getting your citizenship???

It's incredible, still feels brand new to me. I'm just very grateful for everything and my life is finally on the right track. I know what everyone is going through, and again if anyone needs any help or have any questions or just want someone to talk to I'm here, I am more than happy to listen and give any advice I can.
