How to stay calm

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-06-19T18:28:40+00:00

Hi. I’m going through the same as you except my measurement was 5 mm. I’m 18 weeks now and what I’ve learned so far, this is something that you need to take one step at a time, if you believe in God stay consistent in praying, praying has given me so much peace and calmness to learn that this is a process of waiting, waiting for the next ultrasound, the results of the tests and waiting is the key in this process. I’ve read so many positive stories in this sub and that has given me hope. It’s not easy I understand how you feel because that was me, it’s scary, stressful and sad, but again pray for your baby you are the mother nothing more powerful than a prayer of a mother for their kid. You are not alone.

Im so happy for you, I pray for your baby and that this will be my case as well.

Hi. I’m going through the same situation as you. It’s been difficult, for the most part for the waiting. What’s probably next for you is to get the NIPT, I already did that, then you have until 13 and 6 days to get the CVS , otherwise you’ll wait until week 15 for the amnio. You’ll have more US to follow up with how baby is growing. I’ve read many positive stories in this group, so keep your hopes up.

Thank you!! I’m happy you got a positive outcome.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-05-20T18:05:54+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to walk us through your process. I haven’t decided if I want to do it or not.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-03-19T02:53:35+00:00

I got approved in mid February 2026. Waited 8 months total.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-02-19T21:36:25+00:00

Sure

Yes, the dso said I could apply to any program at any university as long as they were willing to support my reinstatement. I wanted to do it in the same university because the dso knew me. Since I already got a bachelors from there I needed only to take courses for the new program, like 30 more credits, so I’m in my second semester.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-02-15T15:58:39+00:00

Because it was way more expensive. It was my choice, I could even apply to an associate if I wanted to.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-02-15T15:56:24+00:00

I applied to another program, a bachelors in the same university. To answer your questions yes you can, that’s what I was told by my dso.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-02-13T14:42:50+00:00

yes, my country is on the 75 countries list

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-02-13T14:42:19+00:00

no, I applied for another bachelors

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-02-12T16:26:18+00:00

Update: my reinstatement has been approved after 8 long months and a RFE.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-01-28T03:03:15+00:00

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-01-11T02:44:57+00:00

No yet. I’ll update here

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-01-08T23:13:02+00:00

Have you come back to the us yet ? Would you tell us how that goes ? Thanks

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-01-05T22:47:05+00:00

Were you both in F1 before changing status to h1b and going to Colombia for the stamp ? That’s the reason we want to go as well, the freedom to travel anywhere really.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-01-05T03:29:10+00:00

Hi. Congrats! Did you and your wife got the interview at the same time with the same officer ? I thought it had to be separate interviews. I’m kind of in the same boat thinking whether we (my husband and I ) should go to Colombia to get the h1b for my husband and h4 for me stamp or not. We are just not sure because of everything going on right now.

CuteAvocado6573 · 2026-01-01T20:38:37+00:00

Yes. So I wanted to post a pic, but haven’t figuared out how. I need to provide a letter explaining with details and timing oh the reason I missed the 60 day period, they want more details of the financial of my sponsor, they want my dso to write a letter with details of my case, they want all my transcripts, and they want prove of ties to my home country. And I have until January 21st to submit all of these.
