The wait was long and very stressful. I really wish there was a way to track an application. I'm feeling so anxious about this as I have spent a considerable amount of money and so far no word back from the home office. I was so stressed out and anxious as it was getting to 6 months and most of the people who applied same time as me already received their responses.
