Some days are harder than others to remain strong.  At least we know many others are in our same shoes.

 

When I said "going strong", I was not talking about me or my wife. I was talking about the stupid case at NSC.

We are actually devastated by this lengthy stupid process

Congratulations 

[Hawaii to Wroclaw 3]

I give everyone here in Nebraska sooooooooo much credit, it takes a special kind of relationship to overcome this challenge. It's also great to see everyone raising one another's spirits when times are tough and hope is bleak. I pray everyone can hang in there and I hope this makes your relationships even stronger.

 

I recently had to go to the doctor because my hair is falling out drastically, in handfuls. I'm certain it's due to this immigration process.  My health has taken a huge hit from this. Moreover, I feel like my wife and I are struggling with this matter and hope is deteriorating.  I can't see my wife due to my financial situation as I  work and go to school full time. Making matters worse is that there is no visa waiver program for Poland.  I haven't seen my wife in a very long time and feel hopeless. I wouldn't even be surprised if some relationships end in divorce prior to their Visa petition being accepted. 

 

I've been waiting from almost 8 months and my biggest nightmare scenario is waiting this long and being hit with an RFE. How much longer would that delay the process? 2 months? That can't be fair if we've already waited this long. Is it possible to expedite the NVC stage for these reasons alone? 

 

Nightmare Scenario:

 

1 year wait for petition

2-3 month wait for RFE

2-3 month wait for NVC stage

2 month wait for Interview

 

 

How can any relationship survive this? Yet all of us at Nebraska paying the very same costs as other people from other centers.

So sorry about your medical issues. I think you need to find the time and funds to traveland see your wife before the interview. When was the last time you guys actually saw each other.

 I am happy to announce that I just received an email from USCIS-CaseStatus@uscis.dhs.gov and a text (SMS) on my cell for my I-130 petition for USC spouse that there has been recent processing action on my case and that my case status is now "Post Decision Activity"

 

I immediately login into my 'Check USCIS Case Status' on USCIS official website and behold, my case has been APPROVED and the status is "Case Was Sent To The Department of State". The the page also states Next Steps - "We will mail our decision to you. The notice will explain any action you need to take"

 

See my journey stats in my signature below, I have not received any mail with the notice yet. the two apps I've been using to track cases also have the same status as above.

 

From the Case Tracker App (iOS), I am tracking most Nebraska Jan 17 to 24 cases and there are quite a lot of cases with same status as mine (like really a lot) updated today - Oct 12. So everyone still waiting for approval, this means there is a lot of movements and you will be up next for approval soon. 

 

I am really glad I am through with this phase and onto the next phase. I wish you all faster approvals and I will see you soon on NVC phase.
