Congratulations on your approval. I doubt your attorney screwed up atleast based on what you posted about the updated USCIS message. If you sue him for trivial stuff and without a proper cause or evidence of legal malpractice remember he might be able to sue you back for damages.

Further if you are interested in K3 this might be good for you cuz now the I-130 will not arrive at NVC at the same time your I129F will arrive.

the I-130 has actually gone BACKWARDS in the system. It no longer says we're at "Initial Review" - it now says we're at "Acceptance".

They're sending me an amended NOA1...has anyone received this before?

[mrs. wife! 3]

Hi Christi!! I'm so happy for you!

I have no idea what's this amended about, hopefully you will be able to follow CR1. Let's wait the mail with the notice and see what's about.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Christi and Ian 24]

I just did a search for "Amended Notice"

Apparently, at least for others...it was their NOA2...now I don't know WHAT to think!

Oh PLEEEEZE...I really need to move over to that NVC March forum!!

[vivekjay 1]

This probably has to do with the new rule thats enforced where an applicant who has a I-129 and I-130 filed and they were both approved the same time the case will be considered for a CR-1 instead of K-3 visa. I think this rule was enforced as of Feb 1 and hence the amendment. Its a guess work.

[Christi and Ian 24]

After further investigation - and a lot of Google searches, I found the Standard Operating Procedures for the I-130 for USCIS - turns out that the "Amended Notice" is actually approval...

I'm doing the approval dance now!! Woo-hoo!!

:dance: :dance: :dance:
