California to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

[celldoc 21]

I still have 5-6 pages to read through, but I have to say YAAAYYYYY I GOT APPROVED!

I received the text at 5:13pm PST. I was in the middle of tutoring a student when I got the text, and it took everything I had to not be like, "Dude, sorry, I've gotta go check my email." I couldn't even wait to get home to check, and now I'm sitting at the Borders cafe trying to contain my excitement.

I'm sooo happy and I can't wait until it's late enough for me to call my husband in England.

I imagine there were lots of other approvals tonight (I'm gonna go back and read those pages now), so I'm gonna go ahead and say congratulations to everyone who's been approved!

CONGRATS!!!

darn! very quite in here ... it feels like I'm the only who has not made it out of TSC hole ... where is everybody!!!

I am still here,I didn't made it out of TSC..and waiting!!!

[Rakmaster 1]

its been 8 months or roller coaster ride for me from csc to tsc .....and now that i got the approval for my wife...we are worried about the Medical exam at st lukes, my wife was diagnosed with uveitis last dec 2010 and now shes still on medications...steroids pills, steroid eyedrops to stop the inflammation on hey eye....we are worried that it might effect the medical exam or might cause her to fail the exam..we dont know....anyone here has any idea? another roller coaster i guess......

Yes! I found the new thread!!

Hmmm,,, I am not very well versed on the topic,,, but I have a similar concern with my wifes daughter who has severe CP. My concern was similar in that I was concerned that the disability may prevent an "approval" through the medical exam stage. My lawyer told me that she had never had a case denied due to a medical condition or disability as long as the petitioner showed capable means of supporting the beneficiary. She made it sound as if the governments primary concern is that the beneficiary doesn't become a hardship on the health-care system,,, but should be a non-issue if petitioner meets the financial requirements (and employeed with a company with decent medical insurance).

I can't say for certain that a medical case would never be scrutinized for some reason,,, but I felt comfortable with my particular situation based on what legal council shared with me. Hopefully there will be others out there with a similar situation as yours and can minimize any concerns.

[jennie ann 15]

Thank you guys so much! I really don't know how insane I would be right now if it weren't for everyone on this thread.

And for those of you who have gotten the "being processed at a USCIS office" email, your turn is coming up! I got my approval on the same day as that update (just under 10 hours later). They are working fast!

Good luck to everyone and I hope that those who are waiting get your approvals very very soon!

APPROVED FINALLY

First approval out of California, I believe.

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: WACxxxxx

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On February 11, 2011, 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. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

CONGRATS!!!

I really dont even understand what priority we would have...where would we be expedited? NVC is pretty much a "see results fast" place, and if you get things done ahead of time and have all ready to send out...you will be done within a month- two months, sometimes even less than that. Getting an interview scheduled is where your patience will be tested...for people with relatives in Colombia (me), it takes 2-3 months from the time it is case complete at NVC to get your interview date.

You're lucky.... Brazil is 4-7 months ;(

Hey gang, unfortunately I did not get approved, however my case status was demoted from "Post Decision Activity" back to "Initial Review".

I received a text and email a few minutes ago. The email reads:

Your Case Status: Initial Review

The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.

Even though I haven't joined the ranks of the approved ones, I'm still happy because this shows some sign of life in my application

Interestingly, I still have no clue where my application really is, so a part of me is still somewhat worried...

Same here Doc.... BUT..... I sent Ms. Barrows an email two days ago (from my navy.mil address) LOL and she responded today....

Officer (my last name),

Your petition is at CSC. We have reached out to them regarding your

situation. I will update you again on Monday.

Regards,
