I emailed USCIS on Monday and my officer told me that my I800a had been approved on Friday. I thought that I would have the hard copy today, but no such luck. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I will call USCIS again on Monday and ask them to send another copy.
The waiting has been getting to me lately. It is hard to not have anything productive to do towards the goal. Last night in my church's small group we talked about Genesis 12, which is all about acting/waiting on God's promises. I loved that it was so relevant and that I am not the only one in a waiting stage of life. This weekend I hope to make a list of things that I want to finish before travel, so that I have concrete projects to work on. Unfortunately, many of the items on my list will have to wait until the referral. Maybe I will make two lists instead.
This weekend to put my anxious energy to good use I am heading up north again to my parents' house. I will be helping my little brother figure out what he is doing with his life and my parents clean/organize before my grandfather moves in next weekend. My grandfather's health has been deteriorating and at 89 years old he is finally willing to admit that he can no longer live alone in a farmhouse that is about twice as old as he is.I am not looking forward to the long drive there and back, but I am glad to see them and to have a productive use of my time.
In other news, my computer was moved and as of Monday I started my new job. Things are going quite well so far.
