Alright August filers, it’s the middle of the month. I’m anxious to see how many August approvals for this month🙏🙏🙏..

There’s one Aug case on the timeline page, but it says DCF. Is it a regular case?

Yup. I used to work with an immigration attorney as an assistant and after seeing how unorganized he was, lying to clients about working on their case when it was still sitting piled up on his desk.  I was there for 2 days and knew nothing about completing these forms and he would have me complete I 130 for clients without even walking me thru it😳.  I felt bad for clients trusting him with this and paying $4000 just to complete forms that he only had a new assistant work on. It was too much unorganized chaos...That’s when I said, forget this, I’m doing it myself without an attorney. 

Yes, they know exactly how to get to these people who are desperate. They should be debarred for what they do. I know someone who paid thousands of dollars because his attorney told him they needed a 601. Uscis sent them letter letting them know they didn’t need to file 601. But attorney kept his money. Not right.

Where are you guys seeing this? The timeline I look at says 3/7 was last approval and it’s not even August.

What is your priority date? Make sure you complere your timeline.

I dont know about you guys but I’m glad the time went forward in the US.  It makes the day go by quicker. We are already in the middle of the month. April will soon be here. Every month that passes gives me hope that soon I will be with my husband. I’m trying to hold off in seeing him til interview time but I can’t wait. May will be our 1 year anniversary and God willing I will see him in May and one more time for interview before this is all over with. This is a lot of time from work and a lot of money for plane tickets😩. How do they expect you to prove bona fide marriage and meet the income at the same time. This is so depressing. This process is like “hurry up and wait” ... can’t wait til it’s all over.

FYI So far I’ve added my husband to my health insurance at my job and auto insurance. I was unable to add him to any of my bank accounts since he’s not here. I also filed married filing jointly for ty2018. This is for further evidence of marriage.

Wow...you sound just like me! I haven’t seen my husband since October and I am also waiting for the interview to travel. April is our 1 year anniversary and unfortunately, we will celebrate it over video calls. The ticket prices are ridiculous. I have my job which is important since I’m the only sponsor and I have a teenager. They want proof that it’s a bonafide marriage by having face to face visits often but then again expect you to hold down a job so you can sponsor.  My job will only take so much of my personal life. I can not jeopardize that.  It’s almost like a they try to set you up for failure. And your right, it’s very depressing. Let’s just at least try and keep our heads up. But trust me, it’s not easy and many days go by that I feel absolutely hopeless. 😭😭
