Wow! Checked my email today and they sent me three approval emails!!! First I thought somebody was playing a dirty joke. I wasn't expecting it since I know so many others are still waiting from March and April. I filed in June on the old form and never got touched or the IMBRA RFE. I thought they just had forgotten me. I didn't even bother to waist my time calling them because I know they're not going to give me any useful info. I was becoming fustrated and impatient seeing so many people already had gotten their RFE, so I just filled out the new application and attached it with a copy of my NOA1 and a cover letter requesting that they replace the original K-1 application. I did this last month and they never even sent me a confirmation that they had received it. And today I get 3 emails that they had approved me on Sept. 11th! Anyway, just wanted to share this info with those that are in the same boat and hopefully this will help you out.

Congratulations! Peter, you used the new form???

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

Congratulations! Peter, you used the new form???

I think this is the most informative and supportive group I've found on the web. So thank you everybody. The past few months have been a roller coaster ride with the IMBRA thing. The hardest part is not knowing. They sent me three approval notices, I wish I could share two of those with someone here.

Steven_and_Jinky-- I think your approval is just around the corner because we filed at about the same time on the old form. I actually took your advice about sending in the new I-129F form rather than just wait for the IMBRA RFE. I figured it couldn't hurt since it was unlikely they have looked at my file yet anyway. I think they're starting to review the June applications and that's why a lot of June filers got touched this week. And if your application already has the new form, they might just approval you then and there. Those that didn't submit a new form would likely get a RFE and go back in line. Good luck.
