01/04/2024, CARD IS BEING PRODUCED... sobbed for half an hour when I received the notification, after 3 years of waiting, so glad at least this chapter has been successfully completed.
Really weird journey since I had 3 interviews, all showed up but got canceled after at least 3-hour wait each time. Yesterday was the "not actually an interview but kinda interview" experience?! The officer was such a good egg, super gentle and sweet, kept apologizing for not having my case file, only checked my ID and passport, then my attorney and I were given a continuation notice then got sent out. We were there like only for 5 min, and 4 min were for him taking photocopies of my ID and passport, lol. I was told by the officer that I should receive another notice for another interview no later than the first week of March...super upset at first, because it was the 3rd time I got de-scheduled and I couldn't quite understand what happened, it all happened too fast, tho I almost fell asleep after 3-hour wait (the appointment time was at 7am). But I guess the officer might found my case file later and liked what he saw.
In my experience, proactive efforts like repeated expedite requests, contacting my congressperson, utilizing Infopass appointments, and having a dedicated and caring attorney can be game changers for navigating a challenging and complicated immigration path.
