I work so that does make my days go by faster, not to mention chasing the child around the house once I get home lol but still I get home check my mailbox and it's always empty. I used to check it like once a week before all this and it was always full and now days can go by without a single piece of mail in there.

Haha. Everyday after work, i couldn't wait to get home to check mail and always hope to find a nice surprise. Then i would feel sad since there's nothing from USCIS for me but all junk mails :cry:

Good news only comes when we are least expected. I told myself to forget about it so good news would come but i can't get it off my mind lol

Oh man, i hate being in apartments during these crucial times. I was in one before and sometimes my mails were put into a wrong house. I was doing my H1B working visa at the time and worry sick if my mails got to the wrong mailbox.

My husband doesn't seem to worry or think much about this. He's like "it will come someday" haha. I can't be like that. I'm glad that i joined VJ. At least, we are all on the same boat and understand what each other goes through. *hug hug*

I know my husband is the same! He was also no help when filling out all the forms, he was just like, "I'm just here to sign, let me know when it's time for the signature other than that don't ask cause I don't know." He can be so frustrating lol

Hahahaha. My wife was exactly the same. Took me a week to get through all those forms. I think the most frustrating thing for me were how many pictures are required. Stupid, I know. But we ended up sending 8.

They haven't updated mine since June 10th so it's still on case received.

It's really strange how they operate the case status online. I remember when they posted on my I485 form that it's ready to be scheduled for the interview, it was retroactively done. Like it was posted this week, with a date of Jul 15th.

Well after many days and countless tries I've finally managed to create and actually log in on myUSCIS so now I have something else to obsessively check besides my mailbox. And I haven't even had my biometrics done yet :)) . I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one going through this and it actually makes the whole process a little bit easier and less lonely. Thank you VJ friends!

We ended up asking for 4 pics of him when all we needed was I think 1 or 2 lol he was mad cause we spent money on pictures we didn't need.

I just know I don't feel like checking mine anymore because it never changes lol

lol I check both all the time as well but I try to stay away from the online one cause they never update it. Good luck with your biometrics, it will be fast and easy :)
