When you apply and have to wait for months, that leads to lot of anxiety. How do you cope with it? I am one of those guys keep checking for the status. Any suggestions on how to relax and move on with life while things are being processed?

Go to work, keep yourself busy with work. Save your money.

Find things to keep you busy.

1. Don't check every single day

2.As much as I love VJ don't come on here everyday either

3. Keep yourself busy

Its tough, but the key really is to not check the status so much. It will drive you nuts. Best wishes!

I started waitressing part-time to 1. Save up $$$ to spend on (another) trip to England, and 2. To keep myself busy...checking VJ and Igor's List was driving me nuts! I was obsessed with checking what number we were on the list and hoping that we'd get our NOA2 Approval everyday... take up a hobby, get a part-time job, just try to stay busy!!!

The waiting is surely going to kill you that is for sure. Once I made up my mind that I just cant keep checking my status I started painting my house, I made sure to stay busy at work, and I hung out with friends as much as possible and it made the time go by just a little faster good luck to you :thumbs:
