Hello! I'm also a March 2008 filer. I originally intended to get a k-3 visa, but recently my husband and I decided to follow the CR1 visa path. So, I started showing up in the forum for CR1. Can our timeline be added to the list? It's on my signature.

I hope we March filers get our approvals soon! Some of us already did, han?

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

We were told the I-130 is approved by the congress aide, but no online update and no NOA2 showed up yet.

But, NVC just assigned the case #, so it's for REAL ! !

I hope the rest of us March filers get NOA2 real soon.

I know it was my decision and nobody put a gun in my forehead and forced me to married someone from outside US but If I could I will sue USCIS because I'm going blind and bold! I'm crying almost every night and my hair is falling due to stress I can't concentrate at work and I have abandoned my social life and it has only been 4 months ! I got exited last week with the touch on my 2 applications but now I'm desperate again because it doesn't seem like a new touch is coming any time soon and worst no approval :( I'm so jealous on CSC people not in a bad way I mean I'm happy for them specially for those whose spouse countries are difficult government countries but I NEED MY HUSBAND HERE!!! I WANT BABIES AND I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M 100% MARRIED !!! don't get me wrong I'm 100% committed to my husband but it just doesn't feel like this is a true marriage! sorry about this but I had to let it out!
