The mental toll of renewing is actually insane right now

like I literally lose sleep for months every time. USCIS processing times are an absolute joke lately and they just keep hiking the fees for slower service. I ended up having the alvarez law firm handle my stuff this cycle cause doing the AP application myself was stressing me out way too much, and even though all the paperwork went in perfectly fine im still just staring at "case is being actively reviewed" every single morning

Checking the portal is like a toxic daily routine at this point tbh. Anyone else just so tired of living life in 2 year increments? feels like I can never actually plan my future
