So today my hubby got the notices of approval for myself and our daughter. So excited, had a bad day yesterday and was thinking that i can't wait to get out of this place. We're not moving until April next year but at least we are getting there slowly.

Wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped and given advice since we started this journey.

Good luck to everyone else waiting to hear. :star:

Congrats!!!!

Just out of curiosity, on what date was your credit card charged...or what was your processing date. Also, has he received his Packet 3 yet? We are trying to figure out if we are going to get our Packet 3 before we take off to Spain for vacation!!! But it is looking like NO. :(((

First off -- congrats, mrssmith! I know all too well about that "I can't wait to get out of here feeling." And Thomas -- your processing date is the date your card was charged, so that's February 26th for you. Since they're processing from the 22nd now (i.e. that's the oldest one they're processing), I have a feeling your P3 is imminent. Good luck!

Thank you Maven! I am worried, though. Mrs. Smith's timeline says she sent her I-130 on 24 January, which was almost month before we sent ours. It looks like I might have another month to wait. I guess I was also thinking the processing date meant we would get P3 and be able to return our docs, but it looks like the processing date means just that - processing, and that we will have to wait 3-4 weeks to actually receive P3 in the post.

I know it will come eventually, but having everything on hold just downright sucks!
