Hang in there, Tabitha I know how hard the wait is, and it's the worst part. Stay blessed, honeyyyyyy.

it will fly, you'll see... the worst part will be in August when you are really close... Trust me, January filers are going through hell right now!

Yes. The projected month of approval is the absolute worst of all! Each day you're just waiting and hoping that you'll receive notification. And in the back of your mind, you think about the few unfortunate petitions that seem to be delayed or forgotten each month....It does not get easier until that NOA2 arrives. I'll probably start working my Congressman as soon as I get beyond the projection on the VJ timeline. That way everything is ready if I need to use him. And based on some evidence here, even if you're not beyond processing time, a Congressional inquiry forces a pull of the file..so there's always the potential that it could be useful. But I hope I won't need it!

I gotta say, I just went over the projected date and have been terrified that my petition was lost, etc. Of course, I've spent my time looking through various folks' timelines and wondering, "How did they get approved in two months? Is something wrong with my petition?!" This post, and knowing that other January petitioners are going through the same thing, made me feel much better.

Thanks!

Definitely. No one seems to understand how crazy and even arbitrary these processing times can be. Would love to fast forward to August. By then hopefully we've had POE and this is all over. I've had to really alter my expectations with the rate things seem to be moving right now. In February, my hopes were soaring when they were cranking out adjudications for October and November filers..At one point my timeline was late April early May ha. Now not so much. At this point I just want to be within processing range.
