They received our I-129 F petition on May 8, 2008 and approved our petition by September 15, 2008.

Unfortunately I have not send back Pkt. 3 yet. :(

Good luck on your visa journey! :dance:

I'm not sure if you guys are being held up by security checks (as I mentioned earlier I've been through so many, plus certain clearances from the ATF and DOJ it's not like they don't know who I am) or slow adjudicator, but all I know is this is a bit ridiculous now.

Still, lets maintain a positive vibe this week as we should certainly see a good handful of new approvals. :dance:

hey:) I hope i dont have a slow adjudicator:( feels like it thou! lol I hear ya trying to keep a postive outlook! Im all for new approvals this week! Just hope we are all counted in that new batch ! lol! emmm :star:

i really feel for u guys n hope u get ur approvals soon!!!! :thumbs:

THanks so much! Me too :blush: x Emmm

Woohoo Hannah! :dance: :dance:

I ended up getting mine online before receiving it in the mail. In fact, the petition arrived at the NVC before I got the approval in the mail, and I never even got an email telling me (despite having the e-mail notification set-up) I was approved.

I just happened to spot it on the USCIS website when I went home as I had been touched that day.

Very weird how these petitions have a pretty clear instructions on what happens yet things still happen out of order or in some chaotic way.
