Hey people, quit paying attention to the VJ statistics - at this point, it's useless and besides, there are many people not on VJ. I made up my mind yesterday not to worry about this immigration proce

The wait is horrible isn't it? I keep telling myself to be present in the moment as soon enough I won't be in the country and will be missing things about 'back home' but I'm becoming a bit obsessed with checking my case on the uscis website, and am finding it hard to think of anything else.... am I alone? I know it won't help speed things along but I can't help it. What is everyone doing to stay preoccupied?!

I am right there with you. I keep on checking the USCIS website. Then I sign into my account and see if the 'last updated' date has changed. I'm sure it won't change every 2 hours. But that is something that is keeping me sane.

I am so glad that I'm starting my job in a few days. I'd go CRAZY if I were sitting at home doing nothing (as I'm doing now). Yeesh!!

Just keep yourself occupied....that is what I'm trying to do now!

Just keep yourself occupied....that is what I'm trying to do now!

The key is to keep yourself busy. I've been apart from my husband for 2 months now and the wait sometimes seems unbearable. I have decided to start getting the house ready for him to come. I have been keeping my weekends busy by working on our bedroom - like a fresh coat of paint and cleaning out a closet to make room for his things. That's seems to help me a little. I too am anxious to have my husband home. I've also limited myself to checking the USCIS website just once a week. Checking it several times a day was starting to drive me crazy!

My husband also reminds me that the time we are waiting now is just a small time compared to the rest of our lives. I try to remember that. Soon all this waiting will be over.

Moving right along - Case Complete! Next step...Interview! dancin5hr.gif
