Look you’re strong, believe me you are!

most people here are extremely strong people.

 

Im not a strong person when it comes to anxiety. I tried to withdraw the petition for a week right before the approval. I was going crazy.(still am) living in a country where right now, I have no house, no job, no family. Stuck here gave me anxiety.actually made my anxiety so bad I just wanted it to stop. You got an rfe and there is always, always an answer to that. You’re not in the limbo of waiting longer.

 

the most important thing to this process is to remember denial is extremely extremely rare. And as you have the requirements done, you will know you’re waiting for an approval, not for a denial. You’re just waiting but not for a verdict just for a confirmation. That’s what got me through this...that’s all we got. 

 

Sad faces scares away noa2s! Believe me I would die to have an rfe if it meant me getting it before my anxiety hit. So that’s why it’s a firm no to panicking yet. You’ll get through this. One way or another!

Oh gosh!!!! thanks so much @Naes meant a lot.

 

As happy as I am to see people moving forward, can't believe its taking a toll on me.  I don't wanna overthink but I feel like if this is gonna delay so much and my POE will move to Aug, maybe I'll change plans and just move there next year. But I'm not sure how my fiancee would feel about that.... Just crazy. I so badly wanna send my resignation so I can start with that one month clearance and move forward. But I can't unless I get this NOA2....... #RantOver

 

Thanks a lot...I know I just gotta be positive..... #TrustTheProcess

Hey,

 

I've been silently watching this thread as recently my patience has been waning and as much as talking to my fiancé is great. It's kind of a comforting feeling to know we've got company on this draining experience!

 

Got an official filing date of 30th Oct, cannot wait to see if we get our approval this week or not as I can see some cases after mine being touched!

 

I've known my better half for 10yrs and we've been together for 5yrs and engaged for 3yrs... probably started wedding planning a good 4yrs ago too - we already have plans in place... risky I know but *Was too over excited and didn't realise this would be this long of a process*. 

 

Hope everyone waiting for a response gets one soon!

On this, it said last updated on 4/17 and 4/13 from RFEs and then approved today (4/23/18). Are those dates (last updated) when they received the responses to the RFEs? I am trying to gauge if they have been working on these within the week. This was from Daniel P update this evening.
