Hi, get a email from CRIS stating my case is approved, and approval notice was sent on 4/23. There is no touch before approval. We did no expediate . No I-129F either.

I am excited now but also worry about my daughter's case, we filed at the same date in the same mail, but I did not see her NOA2 . Husband will call CSC tomorrow to check.

So, since CSC is handling on Jan. case, how can they put the timeline say they are in Aug.?

Hope USCIS moving quickly .

another california case aproved :)

Oy Vermont Where art thou?

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

I would expect NOA2 on you daughter soon. They may have gone through different adjudicators. I would not start to worry yet.

Hi, get a email from CRIS stating my case is approved, and approval notice was sent on 4/23. There is no touch before approval. We did no expediate . No I-129F either.

I am excited now but also worry about my daughter's case, we filed at the same date in the same mail, but I did not see her NOA2 . Husband will call CSC tomorrow to check.

So, since CSC is handling on Jan. case, how can they put the timeline say they are in Aug.?

Hope USCIS moving quickly .

Lucy
