Dear People:

We submitted our I-130 in late December & our I-129f in early January.

Today I recieved emails saying:

"On March 8, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice."

and

"On March 8, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice."

This is SO much quicker than I was expecting, I am confused. Does this mean that we should expect an embassy interview for my wife within the next month or so? Might she have a visa by the end of June?

Thanks for your informed opinons!

Our Timeline so far…

Spring 07 ... Introduced by a friend via Internet

Remainder 07 ... LOTS of phones calls, e-mails & chats

Spring & Summer 08 ... Multiple visits back & forth between US & Malaysia … Engagement!

December 08 ... Legal & Temple Weddings in Malaysia

19 December 08 ... Mailed I-130 to Chicago Lockbox

3 January 09 ... Receipt NOA1 for I-130

5 January 09 ... Mail I-129f

16 January 09... Receipt NOA1 for I-129f

February 09... Twiddling thumbs

9 March 09 ... Emails stating I-130 & I-129f approved

Once the paperworks get to the Embassy, the process is so fast. At least it was for us.

About 2 weeks time frame. Medical exam, gathering documents, interview and visa.

Congrats~~!!
