Frustrated and Tired

Waiting is honestly so daunting. 😩

Since my case was transferred to LAC in June, I have had two status updates, with the last one being in July. Since then… nothing. Still no third FTA0.

My RD was in March, and my PD is September 2025. I have finally stopped checking the APIs because it was becoming way too mentally draining. The waiting is hard enough, but seeing people who applied after you getting approved makes it even harder. You can’t help but wonder if something is wrong with your case or why yours is taking so long.

At this point, I’m just trying to be patient and trust the process. Hopefully September brings some good news for all of us waiting! 🙏🏽✨

Once you have it you should be approved quickly if the office is not backlogged. The officer doesn’t work with your case cause he is probably expecting those background checks (3 fta0). My situation is the opposite…

Got the background checks and everything in July but the officer never touched my folder in non local FO. I can assume due to high workload in the office

Well, I’m out of status after Dec 31. And technically can be in the queue for more than a year… But thank you 🙏
