All,

To follow up on my post this past Friday regarding my approval, here's an updated timeline:

Application sent - 09/07/07

NOA Date - 09/25/07

Biometrics - 10/31/07

Touched - 11/01/07

I-130 and Advanced parole touched - 12/22/07

Card ordered - 2/29/08

Touched - 3/2/08 (yes, it's a sunday touch)

Approval sent - 3/4/08

I'm still waiting for the greencard in the mail, but yesterday (3/3/08) I received an approval letter (the online status didn't change until today, though). Despite some discussions that people don't really get a letter (the greencard itself is the approval), I was surprised that I received one.

The letter has the word I-797 on it and it uses the same kind of paper, but the formatting is different (as compared to NOA, biometrics, etc). It basically says that I'm approved and the conditions have been lifted. It was signed by a Director in San Francisco (not in Laguna Niguel, where mailings to CSC goes to). I just thought this was interesting and I'd like to share it with you (but if you don't get the letter, don't worry, I don't think it really means much).

Regards,

FH.
