My guess is I claimed too little income last year and I'm too close with a house and dependents to add another for their purposes...that would be my first guess. I'm hoping for something less complicated like "you forgot to sign this, send it back"!

I doubt it is for income. Unless you just sent papers because you wanted to, there is nothing in the original package for income. I-134F is due at interview or embassy, so it shouldnt even be part of the consideration. Additionally, the requirement for K1/2 is only 100% of poverty level.

Hi all! happy weekend! (grr make it go faster, right? :) )

I just had an interesting find in my mailbox this morning.

...The receipt with case number from NVC.

and

...a letter from Missouri's senator, Kit Bond.

I was expecting the same as I got from Senator Claire McKaskill (an email stating they'd get around to it in a month or so), but it said that they had already contacted USCIS and they included a hard copy of the response.

Here's where it gets interesting. I faxed Senator Bond the letter on Jan 6. His office called the USCIS on Jan 7 and received the hard copy respond which was dated Jan 7. When I got home from work on Jan 7, we were approved.

Maybe coincidence, maybe not. Regardless, all of you still waiting, if you haven't written a letter, do it. at the minimum you feel a little productive in the midst of all the waiting ;)

i have no clue. we were at 149 days since NOA1 when I wrote. and were approved 5 months and 1 day after filing.

I did open with a line about being from the same small town where the senator lives...maybe?

but honestly, I'm impressed with the fact that 1)they did something, 2) they did something SO quickly and 3) it appears to have worked.

so it's worth a shot, if you haven't already.

we also wrote a letter to the senator and congresswoman, they reply that they contacted USCIS and that we werein the processisng time of 6 months ,.. that we might be getting approved anyday soon... that we dont, then contact them again .....

I dont know if it is just coincidence or if they really did something to improve Yader&Sarah approval! but they got approval!!! and they`re Aug Filers but we can also try it!

I am really positive and have a pretty good feeling of this next two weeks... we are closer to our 6 months of waiting ... and it also means we are closer to get our approval! so hang on there my dear friends!!! :star::star::star::star::star:
