i got my first touch

[mikeleighb 0]

well, today i know that someone actually looked at my case. i had to request an investigation as to why i am 47 days outside of processing time.

i realize this touch is sort of artificial, but i do feel a little better knowing that someone actually looked at it. jesus christ!!!!over 4 months of just sitting there not to mention the 8 months since the application was received.

anyway, here is the email i got:

Wow!!!!

Thanks so much!!!! Only 60 days?!?! by all means, take your time. 10 months is no time at all to be separated from lao po, never mind the additional steps afterward.

i can only hope i get an RFE instead of an approval to waste even more time....

yes, i realize my personal information is up there, i don't care. if that's against the rules, delete whatever. if you want to send me an email or look up my case, feel free.

i feel sick

Ilya, if your I-130 is approved today, will you keep or change your signature ? I can see the frustration in your signature Good luck to you and the rest waiting and I hope (just hope) it will happen soon

This is good news!! They said you will receive a decision within 60 days, so at least you know that someone is working on it!! I have a feeling that it will be sooner than you think!

'under review' sounds promising! Good luck! At least they are working on your petition now.

After a certain time has passed, like 2 or 3 minutes after the initial post, you cannot change or edit the content.

Me and my husband are just starting with this visa processing thing. I just hope that we would not be in the same situation or I will be more than furious.. I just wish that they would really continue to process your case at the soonest possible time (hope the soonest wouldn't take ages)... God bless us all!!!
