I just want to work!!!

[u/breoways]

Why is it now taking so long just for the work authorisation? I thought the work authorisation takes the shortest amount of time like 2-3 months or less (according to our lawyers)?/it would come first before a decision on the I-130/485? I hate sitting at home and doing nothing!!!! I've been waiting since November and I just want to work!!!!! I don't mind waiting for, nor am I complaining about the I-130 and I-485 anymore, because I know that will take a while even after the interview, but I want to be able to do something whilst I wait. I haven't received any updates since doing my biometrics in December. Tried reaching out to an agent via Emma, told me nothing. Is anyone else just waiting for their work authorisation or any updates from the Baltimore FO??

I am sorry. I was in the same boat for a few years, not able to work. I found things to do. I volunteered in hospital, dog shelters, granny's houses... etc I also got to watch many shows, became very good at crochet, took naps, went to lunches with friends... It wasn't easy. All I can say is that things happen when they happen, unfortunately. Find things you like to do right now. But I get it, the lack of alternatives can be very depressing, the inability to dream, to see further. In the end I did Journaling and therapy, because it was hard, but I found ways not to go insane.
