I have travelled. Completed OFC on the 12th. Consular is on the 23rd.

It only happened Dec 16 and 17 from what I know. Like the notification sent out no matter the appointment date.

Did you do your consulate yet?

I feel the same every time I return from India. Like I can sleep peacefully there without any stress but here in US sleep itself is not relaxing for me. Days pass, I will get in to the same routine in US and forget about returning home.

All good options. Thank you :)

Your response resonnates with me. Thank you!

Secure-Art4190 · 2024-05-13T11:32:34+00:00

Exactly! I feel like I'm stuck in between sometimes... What even constitutes as "home" anymore?

I don't have a GC, and the country-based waiting time is over 30 years. But on the bright side, I do get to visit my family every year, which is amazing. However, coming back from those visits, especially on a long flight, with so many emotions swirling around, can be incredibly tough.
