If you have an iPad, I have an app for that too. Just let me know.

Hey Carla! Hope you're enjoying your new 'status' :) Can you tell me what app you are using to track case information on your iPad? I see a couple of options out there but the reviews on one them (Case Status Lite) said that it did not store your case numbers on exit! That really defeats the purpose of having an app to quickly access case information.

Cheers!

Hiya BlueDevil! I'm enjoying Dave's new status immensely! It feels weird not having to do anything other than to check mail now. Ha! Are you enjoying life?

The iPad app I use is called "USCIS Helper". I'm sure if anyone has an iPhone it would work on there too. I've not had any issues with it at all.

Thanks, Carla! I downloaded the app for both my iPad and iPhone and they work wonderfully! That's going to save me some time and effort in hoping on to my computer each time I want to check the status.

I am doing very well. I've been fortunate in that I have work to keep me busy and occupied while this immigration process runs its course ... or should I say crawls?! :) And with it being summer, the time I don't spend at the office, I spend outdoors doing stuff so I've been distracted quite nicely. If the typical processing time holds true, I'm about 3/5 of the way to my 130 approval. Just a couple months to go now and then it should be all downhill from there, just in time for when summer winds down and I get cocooned at home! I don't see how some of y'all who were sitting at home pending approval of the EAD and/or PR did it. I really would have gone mental sitting at home all day doing nothing and not even being able to drive to the store!

I really would have gone mental sitting at home all day doing nothing and not even being able to drive to the store!

So glad it works well for you. I'm an app junkie .. You name it. I've got an app for it. lol. I'll be honest. I like the android app better than the iPad one. At least with the android, it notifies you when there's been a status update. I don't recall a notification with the iPad unless you are in-app.

Ah, so you are still in-process .. These apps will come in handy then. Keeping yourself busy & productive is key. You should have seen us a couple of days prior to our interview. We were like a couple of moms-to-be nesting! We scrubbed the kitchen and redecorated it along with the dining area. It's nice to finally have Dave's touches on the house. It doesn't feel like mine but more like ours now.

Dave was going bonkers prior to his approvals. Even when he got his EAD he didn't feel as though he could really move forward. He was concerned if he started settling in with a job and such that it would get blown to the wind with a denial. The only thing he has left to do is get his full drivers license and get a job. I cannot wait until he's working. It will do so much for his mental health.

Can you believe that I'm already preparing for his ROC? I think I have issues. LOL!
