The earliest case that was just approved is from December 20th... so we got 2 months to go.  

 

122 days waiting.

 

Dec 20? which service center are you referring to? i thought taxes was further than that...like in the month of January?

Hi guys and girls,

 

My NOA1 is 2/10/2017

I've been reading throughout the forum and there are recent approvals for end of January filers.

We are close!!!!

I also check the process times everyday, the timelines, use USCIS app to randomly check cases...

If you are losing patience and trying to find something to do (like me) try reading the January filers thread. It has a lot of information in it!

Waiting 

 

Went to see my wife 3 months after wedding in thailand

 

Now planning to see her again in 3 more months

 

If i see her every 3-4 months time will be easier to get by 

 

Long distance sucks .. we fight/argue occasionaly on stupid stuff... is it just us or long distance does this to u ??? 

 

We talk/text everyday with long skype sessions on the weekend

Ik what u mean...no fun my husband an I have been together 15 yrs, married 6yrs an recently apart pass 6 months the hardest. The waiting game is no fun he's almost ready to give up.. Nebraska being backed up doesn't help.

I gave up my job, so i could spend 6months with my husband but its coming to an end as i have to return to South Africa July 3rd. The hardest part is that after the summer, my son will return here without me to start high school. My son is a US citizen & his dad (my ex) is here..We haven't ever spent any time apart and he is struggling to understand why we need to be seperated.

Stay strong it's hard I know my boys are in Trinidad with my husband and my youngest is here just visiting me for a few months with children involved it makes this process even harder but I have faith we will all make it through..my family is my strength they keep me going

I thought Nebraska was way behind but it seems we're not THAT far behind. I can't wait until I see people start getting accepted and feel a little bit closer to at least moving to the next phase.  

It seems that I won't get my NOA2 (if lucky) until September, by then I'll be traveling to Thailand to at least distract my mind from this crazy process.

nope, it isn't only you. Long distance is hard and we occasionally argue as well, mostly because we miss each other. We try to see each other as often as we can, trying not to wait more than 3 months between trips. But I agree with you, long distance is indeed awful

Wow I thought we were the only ones, I  think it's just the effects of long distance
