That's what I'm talking about.
I know 4 different compatriots.
The first one applied for his family's petition last summer, 2 weeks after my father filed for me and my brother and mom ( both live back home ). He got his family's petition approved earlier this summer, after 11 months.
The other 3 families applied for their families' this year ( 2008 ) and have desirably received final approval within a year.
I'm graduating next May and I have no clue whatsoever on what I should be doing. I really wanted to go back home during the winter break ( 7 weeks ) but forget the approval of RTD, I haven't even received my approval.
In 2-3 months time, I will have to apply for my OPT..
This entire immigration saga is crappy and very stressful indeed.
