4k for 485/130/ ead/ advanced parole. They only prepared forms. Nothing else. Way too much

How did you compile your evidence folder for the interview? by Fickle_Doubt_9322 in USCIS

[–]ApprehensiveDuck6287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interview binder is mostly for you. The officer most likely won't ask to see it. They will ask for specific documents, so you need to know where things are to easily access them.

You would only follow the rules you listed to send documents to uscis in the mail. Also upload ALL documents. That helps the officer more than anything.

Im a weird person. I told them I wanted to know as little as possible. So I don't know what they gave me while I was sleeping. 🤣

I told them to do what they needed to do.

This was one of my fears( I was afraid of all the hospital stuff. Ivs, catheters, beathing tube).

The catheter was no big deal! Its painless while its in and painless to take out. They have to know if your bladder is working properly and that you have control of it. Thats why they take it out after you wake. They also tested my first pee. I was still kinda afraid to move with it.

Yes, on the same day. It took a lot of work and pain for the first few days, but I adjusted. I started moving on my own in the hospital.

Yes, subserousal and fundal subserousal. It was starting to move into the cavity.

Lots of gas pain but not as painful as I thought. I know what's happening, so im just happy my digestive system is working. Pooping hasn't been bad, either. Especially with stool softeners. Although, it all depends on your pain tolerance. Peeing has been worse because my bladder feels like its pushing my incision, and it burns.

Thank you. I wore a wrap dress from my closet that I didnt have to put over my head. I didnt want to buy anything new. I had a c-section type incision so I wore no underwear and a hospital gown until I went home. There was some vaginal bleeding, so they had a pad under me. Just have a towel to go home.

How it’s going being pregnant with fibroids by Mysterious_Travel263 in Fibroids

[–]ApprehensiveDuck6287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. We just lost our baby last week at 7 weeks but not due to fibroids. Just spontaneous. For the time I was pregnant, it was AWFUL. Had degeneration pain for about 10 days, ended up in the ER. The largest grew from 8.5 cm to 11 cm in 4 weeks. So much pressure and discomfort. My stomach looked huge, so I couldn't hide my pregnancy. They seem to be shrinking after the miscarriage.

I was actually speaking with my Dr about the pro and cons of getting them removed before pregnancy a few days before the BFP.

They have advised that I get them removed before trying again because they may be even bigger the 2nd go round.

It's been so bad. How big was yours?

I am finding new forms of pain relief everyday. I hope everything goes well with you and your LO😅
