OMG meltdowns

[Jawaree 717]

I think creating USCIS status info on line and CEAC was a good idea

but I am beginning to wonder how many people will end up with a

nervous breakdown checking these sites, reading some comments

after ppl have checked them 10 or more times daily, I imagine

them behaving like research rabbits that keep pressing the lever for

more drugs after they've learned how to.

Love, lives and being together is at stake, its easy to say calm down

but at times ppl cannot stress over a situation they have no power

to change but wait....don't go mental

You're right, it's the first thing I check in the morning every day and several times a day, hah...

Just out of curiousity: do you realize how degrading it sounds when you compare people to rabbits on drugs? How is 'don't go mental' better than 'calm down' anyway?

(And no, i don't do it ten times a day.)

How is comparing people to other animals degrading?

I never checked tham at any time in the process, petition to citizenship. Waste of time. I received all notices by US mail in my mailbox and busied myself with other preparations which were actually useful and relieved stress. They also eliminate the feeling of helplessness if every day you wake up and say "What can I do today for my fiancee?" Checking that nonsense is not an answer.

Soooo true!

Well, i'd think for rabbits it's a pure reflex to want to get more of the drug, and people would differ by the ability to rationalize their actions. That's the difference between people and other animals (though in other aspects there are similarities, of course). I was asking the OP about this particular aspect though.

Yawnnnn

I learned a lot from my daily checking, but our case was an anomoly all the way through, save for NVC. I got some speed at NVC at the front end, but that was from interactive stuff with staff there. clicking a mouse? using a telephone? not the same thing, but still takes up some of my time.

I just checked it for fun, to be honest. I have a lot work to do everyday at office beside talking to my fiance. When I get bored and then finally I went to USCIS website. It is nice to see when put my receipt number and showing information there. And no one knows when you get your approval, .

[Novembro 1,763]

They don't update that stuff anyway.

[godlove 29]

Funny enough the very 1st day I checked USCIS website to see the status of my fiance application was the very same day it was approved. One of the best feelings I ever had, it was as if they knew I was going go check it that day and decided the approve it.

We are all different in what ves us or motivates us. It may not help you to have the means to check status but it works for others. This forum is a means of support, not for us to criticize each other. While you don't see the need to have that tool to check status others use It to gauge timeframes and make preparations and it does give some people the sense of comfort to know where they are in the process. So, everyone do what works for them. No need to insult or criticize. Live and let live. Let give support each other. This is a great forum and the tools that are shared on this site have been useful. Good luck to all and much love.

Do what Gary recommends above and keep a firm count on how many rats are in your control group.

[Jawaree 717]

I never said its a bad tool and if my past posts are checked

usually I will give info if I know it, and refrain from criticizing

anyone. I understand ppl is here for info & to past time, I personally

am not here to beef with anyone or attack anyone, I made an observation

and stick by it many ppl posted about incorrect info given...This forum is

democratic free speech without being rude,,I will not take back what I posted

, neither do I intent to get into trifling nit-picking via the net, I don't

in real life so give it a rest............................................b;ocked
