WooooHooooooo!!!! Yeah!!! well done my friend!!! ...... you were sooooo right weren't you?!

I am totally over the moon for you :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Sorry I've been a little quiet on here lately, but I was getting a little miserable with all the waiting, so I gave VJ a bit of a break ..... but this is brilliant news to come back online to :dancing::dancing::dancing:

You'd better send your wife some form of smoke signal so that she can hear the fabulous news.

I hope the rest of your journey is super fast

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!! :star:

KipandSarahJayne, she is a sleeping giant, nothing can break her sleep :lol::rofl: She was very impatient for her visa, that's why I named "lotofpatience" ! But, by mind, she is a nice girl... I pray she wouldn't read it :rofl:

I can just imagine her all asleep and not happy with USCIS and dreaming of all sorts of ways to get the approval .... or maybe she will have a super nice dream that the approval has at last arrived, and be blown away when you tell her in the morning :energy:

You must be pacing the floor in anticipation of telling her ..... maybe you could send 'We're Approved' on a note attached to a delivery of flowers for when she wakes up ???

I sure hope so because I'm going to end up becoming a bit 'special' at this rate.

Thankyou Paris, I'm really touched by your comment ..... I've just been a bit miserable with the whole system lately, so I gave it all a bit of a break .... maybe VSC would like to touch me too and totally make my day :pop:

Latest update...

I called (due to anxiety) NVC automated line (603) 334-0700 and got the feedback "case not found". I know that it would take around 2 weeks for them to enter the case in their system. I am going to use James Shortcut.

I have to cancel my trip to India next month to see my wife now. May be, will postpone it when she goes to the consulate for visa interview.

congrats!!! to you......... I applied in oct at VSC and am still waiting.. i dont know whats going on.. i hope to see my approval soon to.. but then again i gues they r jumpin aorund and not goin in order :(

hury up and tell u rwife the good news!! im sure shel be shokeddddd :)

GOOd LUCK!!!

Thanks Hyd617. Very sorry to hear the folks who are ahead of me and still waiting. I can understand the frustration. But I pray to all of them to get the approval soon. You will also have a day like this soon. Don't lose hopes. Yes, now USCIS does not have FIFO system. It depends on which officer processes your case.

One thing I noted is if all the docs are present and very clear, they would be happy to process without the delays (I may be wrong too). Here are the docs that I mailed as part of my I-130.

1. Completed and signed form I-130

2. Filing Fee $355 payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security

3. Copy of my Naturalization Certificate to prove the U.S citizenship

4. Completed and signed form G-325A and photograph of the petitioner

5. Completed and signed form G-325A and photograph of the beneficiary

6. Copy of our Marriage Certificate

7. Copies of Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties having personal knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship

8. Copy of my Birth Certificate

9. Copy of beneficiary’s Birth Certificate, School Record and Passport

10. Copy Certification (FC-029)

Hope this helps out.

congrats. hope everything goes quick for you.
