I just got an email today saying my I129f is approved. Three weeks ago they told me it will be in additional security checks for the next 6 months and I was fighting to have the I130 (approved more than a month ago) forwarded over to the NVC. I guess they got tired of the congressmen and senator's offices calling them all the time. From my calculations, I predict a mid-late February interview in Manila.

Thank you everyone so much, yes I am so happy here now finally something good.

edp333, maybe now we have a chance to catch back up with you. NVC is so unpredictable though, either it takes them a week or 6 weeks to send a case. Hopefully, tomorrows usual batch of phone calls will wake up the mail room there at CSC to get things moving for us. Or should I just ship over 20 cases of RedBull?

Congratulations :D I hope the others still under security checks have the same luck (3 weeks turn-around is excellent).
