Awwww Awesome!!!!! WOW this is what I wanted to see tonight before going to bed. I am really happy for you snorkies. Hope it goes smoothly from here onwards too.

Rajaa...I like your strategy...I'll force hubby to teach me some too...just in case.

Also, when I first started wearing hijab...I would wear it in this manner. Now I am too lazy to pin it up so I have been using the one which you wear like a head-sock...close to that and its pin/hassle free.

All Right this is what I have been thinking about since that touch on 21st and this recent approval of a may fellow filer:

Nightsurf's NOA1 dates to May 8th and Snorkies' May 10th ----- both CR1 filers at CSC. Their petition was sent in the last week of April and first week of May. Considering these dates and taking some help from my Imagination, could it be possible that the CSC has actually started working on May filers and our time will come soon too?

Hello from a June filer saying hi to my friends, the May filers. I watch you guys so I know when we are getting closer.

I swear this waiting and checking and checking and checking is making me crazy (ier) Soon I will have a NOA1 for the K3 then I will have 2 numbers to check.

Everyone,

That touch on 21st did mean something. The expedite request was sent on th 9th of July on humanitarian grounds after bombing near my area on July 7th. And we heard nothing from USCIS. Then on 21st there was a touch on both our old and new petition and we had received an email stating that our older petition has been sent from the State Department to USCIS for the request to review it. USCIS also sent a letter to my husband stating that they have received the expedite request...but did not say whether it was approved or not. Also note that they did not show any more touches after that nor we received any e-mail from USCIS. Then today on the 24th my husband received the NOA2 letter in mail (the case was expedited). The online system still hasn't been updated and how shown 21st July as the latest date.

I feel bad about all my other fellows here but I am very hopeful that USCIS will approve May filers soon inshaAllaah.

You are in my prayers,

Sara.

I totally think they have started processing us guys! I was freaking out because you know, no touches, no nothing, and just as I'd noticed that Nightsurf had gotten theirs and gone "maybe that means something", we got ours. The dates the petitions were filed are just too close for it to be a co-incidence. So let's watch those who are next in line and hope for the very best .

Oh and hope the NVC is feeling productive

I really hope VSC starts to move on... I was surprised when I saw your post that you had a touch... I sent my I-130 the same day you did... 04-30-08... If my application was at CSC maybe my approval would be very soon as well...

Sometimes it is SO hard all this wait... It is frustrating to know that VSC is so backed up... I pray to God that VSC starts approving soon... and catch up with CSC...

You should look at LOTOS NVC Guide... This has step by step of what you should do after approval...
