Don't feel bad John I'm feeling the same way as well. It's stressful and most days I do good but every now and again I'm ready to scream and pull my hair out!!! I'm really hoping we all hear something from TSC this month!

Hello everyone!!!!

Sent in my I-129F November 20, 2014 and received NOA1 12/05/2014. I called a few weeks ago and they stated that they've received my petition and also my change of address. It's been 6 months and nothing else since... ??? Extremely anxious and at times very sad.
