I found out first by seeing the emails (I got 2 emails each from CRIS for both of my petitions). Of course, the emails came very late at night (1 am or so), but I was off visiting my wife so I didn't check the USCIS site or email for a few days. I don't know if the website status was updated well before the emails went out (which might be a late night batch process). Had I been home, I checked each every few hours, so I would have a better idea.

Also, as others have said, they are having tech problems as of late, so you never know... emails might not get sent, we have had reports of the website not updating

Congrats!

YAY!!!! Guess what everyone? I checked online this morning and it says that my I-130 approval notice was sent on the 20th! YAY!!! Nothing yet for the 129-F but I'll keep checking my snail mail too. I was beginning to think they lost my papers or something.... THis is soo exciting!!!! Thanks everyone for helping me through this process!

Kristi

congratulation!

I have a question, did you get first an email or did you see your approval notice online?

I asked you because I normaly don't check my case online. I check my email every one hour.

I sent my I-130 one day after you (on 12. June ), but I haven't got any answer from USCIS. :(

good luck

I signed up for the automatic email advisory program, but I've never received an email from USCIS to this date, even though they approved the petitions in early November. I suggest you either log on to the site or wait for the hard copies in the mail....CSC isn't doing that good of a job lately with their IT staff apparently....

amoro

John and Celia is right checking the online status is better idea then checking your email, because the email notification for any update on the status seems to be not working at all,

your other choices are either to call the 800 number and they can read your case status for you or wait for the hard copy by the mail.

if you have any question about the online status tool let us know, and I hope your case get approved very soon.

Thank you, I hope those recent touches be approvals for both of your cases.
