(This is pretty personal to me, I politely ask you be respectful in the comments.)
As some of you may know my sister and I were tangled up in immigration for many many years. I don't think a lot of people know what that's like, but time basically stopped for us. At 14-15 we watched our friends get jobs, at 16-17 we watched them get their licenses, at 18-19 we watched them go off to college. All the while we were left behind. We just obtained our citizenship recently, but the battle isn't over. Waiting in limbo is a heavy weight to bear, and it doesn't disappear over night. Six months after my last visit with the USCIS I still have their websites bookmarked for fear they should call me and demand more money, more papers, or worst of all, more time.

I remember you posting a big journal about it. Sending luck your way, hopefully you won't have to wait anymore!
-
I hope this uncertainty is over for you soon, getting stuck in time like that really sucks.
-
I hope that your struggle is over. I'm so sorry it's been so difficult for both of you.
-
I hope to move out of the country someday and this is one of the things that scare me the most. I hope things will get better for you!

Ah, I... actually know exactly what that's like. My brother and I have been, and still are, waiting in that exact same, as you called it, limbo. I'm really glad you finally your citizenship though, and I hope nothing happens to make you give up any more precious time. That's a really, really... draining experience to go through, to say the least. You shouldn't have to go through that any more than you already have... if at all, tbh.
