yes I know of someone who is September 15th at California and still waiting. They are definitely not done in strict date order like they say they are.

Hi Guys, just wondering if anyone has seen any approvals recently at California Service Centre. I just can’t see it moving forward and I’m exhausted with this wait. Do we even know what Priority Dates they are working on?

OMG Christmas!!, I was hoping to have been reunited with my husband by this Christmas. I would never have believed I would still be waiting by now. Let’s hope I’ll be with him by next Christmas 😂🙏

California service centre is seriously so so disappointing. I can’t understand what their underlying issue is.. they are not having enough staff or what. My PD is Jan 2022 and I feel so depressed that you guys from Nov 2021 and Oct 2021 are not approved yet then what should I expect with my timeline..I am praying for everyone’s approvals soon. California service centre really need to understand that they should speed up because already this USCIS approval is taking more than 1 year of time then consulates are taking more than 1year of time too to schedule interviews.. ultimately whole process is taking 2.5-3 years.. I wish I can start my actual married life with my husband soon.

It’s getting beyond ridiculous now and they just don’t care. Living apart from my husband for so long now is really affecting me and it looks like another holiday season on my own which is a depressing thought. Every week I hope that something will happen with the California cases and we will move forward but this week nothing at all. I pray for all of us 🙏

I am praying for all of you California cases. That is insane! I thought they would have moved faster by now☹️

I was hoping to be with my husband on this Thanksgiving 😂 i did Fiance visa some time ago and i remember it was faster. (I had to cancel my GC interview as we moved to live abroad) and now 3 years later with 2 kids on my hands i am stuck with this ridiculous process. I would think that cr1 visa is more important than fiance one.

Honestly, I just don’t understand their logic - keeping families apart like this is so cruel. I feel really bad for the young couples who are wanting to start families or already have children - everyone’s lives are up side down!!.

I’m almost certain there are a few filers before September too, the wait is nuts. I just want to see someone from California get approved soon before I loose hope altogether. From what I can see no one on this forum got approved from California this week, I would be delighted to be told otherwise.

20 about to turn 21 here. Got married at 18, and still waiting to finally be together in a place we can call home. It’s sickening when I get to learn how incredibly easy it is in so many other countries for spouses to get visas. Sometimes I wonder if it truly is a good thing to be an USC…especially after living abroad.

I do feel for you, it’s so difficult. This is only the first hurdle for me, I’m dreading the medical, not the young thing I used to be and after going through cancer a few years ago I certainly have some health issues. I’ll be a nervous wreck by the time I get there 😂 good luck & best wishes to everyone for some good news soon 🙏
