Hi everyone!

I just had to share some good news - I don't know if the VSC has sped up or what's going on. I applied for I-130 for my wife on Dec. 26th, 2008 - I received the notice of acceptance on Dec. 31, 2008. I had already come to terms that I probably wasn't going to see approval until late 2008 at best...

However, much to my BIG surprise, I checked my e-mail and discovered our I-130 was APPROVED today!!! I couldn't believe it at first and went to check the USCIS website online status to be sure - and it read the same thing. APPROVED.

Not sure how this miracle happened, but I thought I'd share it with all of you to perhaps give some hope to those who've been waiting for soooo long. Maybe it means the VSC has sped up a bit?? I hope for everyone's sake that's the truth.

Thanks to all for the support through this continuing ordeal!
