I have read a lot of these threads, I just don't like uncertainty, and  I am a bit (well, maybe a lot) of a control freak, it comes from running  business for too many years, so when I am not in control of a situation I don't like it!   

I totally understand that. I'm a control freak myself, and probably that's why I'm researching myself and not going with uncertain information. I don't like the situation and not exactly knowing what is going to happen. But past data is promising at the moment and I just refuse to go all "everything will go doooownnn" and upset myself

I hear you.  There is a feeling of free falling.  There is nothing we can do and at times everything seems out of control.  While we cant control our process situation, we can control our personal situation.  Let this uncertainty on one side build a stronger loving relationship on the other.

Hi John I guess at 5.30 am you are chatting to rose, what a life we lead! I think it is the lack of communication from the USCIS that is the main problem, but that is Government bodies the world over I guess, if they could let everyone know of issues and genuine time lines it might be easier, waiting isn't to hard IF we knew how long the wait wold be, seeing the wait time getting longer and longer has been the killer for me. I can only imagine how the May People (and June to some degree) must have  felt seeing the wait going from under a 100 days to 200 +. If any one from  the USCIS is reading these time lines TALK TO US, PLEASE! put out a press statement or something explaining the problems you are having!

Guys I need to let you know... I'm sitting here with my coffee and a tissue. I just love love LOVE waking up to all these approvals. It literally makes me tear up. It makes my heart sing everytime one of you gets their NOA2.

Keep up the good vibes people. I'm starting to believe Naes that positive energy creates more NOA2's.

I aim to keep positive, however I feel as if I am getting  a cold or the flu and in the UK just now there is a nasty one going around putting people in hospital, more to worry about! 

The  weather is dull,  cold, dark and miserable with a fair bit of snow about, (we get a a raw damp cold where I live that gets in to your body, not like the dry cold in other countries) I also would like to visit Colleen at Easter however I have a lot going on and a lot of changes to make here getting ready for THE move later in the year and I am not sure if I can fit everything in. the things we do for love!

Question: 

Does USCIS works on our cases on saturday?

I found that 👇 On google and I was wondering if it's is only the call center...

As with yourself and many, many other couples I sort of planned that when I went over to the USA in Spring 2018 that would be a one way trip,  not another round trip, and it is getting harder to come back each time as you well know. it is very good news to see so many approvals,  I just hope you are right and the USCIS will keep working and as hard  with the potential shutdown, in the mean time I will just have keep my internet radio tuned to my favorite US stations and pretend I am over there already
