and at some point positivity and hopes get you nowhere but sadness and more frustration.
you're correct, we all read generally how long the process would take, and we accepted it and expected the wait, that's not the issue. but to be so blatantly skipped in the way that we have been with ZERO communication or acknowledgement is an absolute spit in the face. Even TMVN has posted a notice saying this is an anomaly! how are we expected to not be frustrated?
those of us coming up on 200+ days should be good little boys and girls and twiddle our thumbs while there's couples who are VISA IN HAND or even in the states already in as little as 4 months or so. What's the explanation there?
we've compared some cases: same beneficiary country, same petitioner country, even same petitioner state, and yet we're stuck in limbo, and they're VIH already.
I refuse to give the USCIS any benefits of doubt because this is a joke. our cases are "processing as normal" but who's to say they haven't been misplaced or even straight up lost? unlikely? i'll give you that. but certainly not impossible. So what if we wait until our inquiry date just to get hit with a "whoopsie, our bad lol" ???
as i've said MANY times before, the WAIT would NOT be an ISSUE if there was any clear form of COMMUNICATION AND SOME CONSISTENCY.
i'd wait a year and more if there was any consistency or clarity. but no, we've been blatantly skipped and we're just expected to sit in the dark and wait on false hopes.
