yea gogo. lets see. we've learned to not get our hopes up right?

thanks for the go go, gogo haha.

hope things shape up for you, and i hope your money will be well spent with your lawyer selection.

I got taken for some thousands by mine, with no results, and she gave up and is no longer trying to get this taken care of(unless I want to spend more) YEA RIGHT!! I hope my help from my congressman's office is what is helping here so that when i actually receive an approval I can tell her to go @%$# herself. (excuse me for that but she has created some anger within me).

Soon come.

sorry to hear that, the one positive thing about this was that we ALMOST got a lawyer, but then I found this place and felt secure enough do take care of things myself... me and my husband

btw, I got lots of touches on my I-130, but never on my I-129F until the time I was approved, so don't worry.

You might want to make sure that they are together next time you call. If both applications are not together, they might make you wait more.

Dont let them though, make them stick to your received date, which is loooong overdue

Got another touch today on the I130!!!

That's 2 days in a row. Could it be that my case is moving along??

Still nothing on the I129F :unsure: I really want the k3, but I guess at this point I can handle either.
