Hi Everyone,

Well, this morning I checked my email and checked case status and found nothing. But... when I arrived at work, I had an email from CRIS (Case Status Information for Receipt). We are APPROVED! Happy dance! I may actually sleep tonight!

Here is the email contents, for those still waiting:

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: WACxxxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On September 18, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

*Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov under Case Status and Processing Dates.

*** Please do not respond to this e-mail message.

Sincerely,

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

***** End of Email *****

Here is how it has progressed:

I-129F sent 4-18-2008

NOA1 4-28-2008

Touch 5-14-2008

Touch 9-16-2008

Touch 9-17-2008

NOA2 9-18-2008 (143 days. CSC)

Apparently, getting touched is a very good thing!

I can't explain how frustrating and nerve wracking it was to see others with similar circumstances (same country, etc) being approved that were submitted many days after our petition. But then, most everyone here already knows that frustration. So if you are waiting, hang in there! The wheels may move very slowly and illogically, but they DO move!

Time to celebrate, and of course, start gathering some paperwork!

Best of luck to those still in the queue!

Congrats!!! now you can continue up that yellow brick road to meet the Visa Wizard :lol: . You were Smart to join Visajourney as we all were, because strength is in numbers, and we are all inspired by each others success stories as they unfold each day. It took Courage to start this journey, as we've all done, because we've stumbled upon a treasure trove of information and knowledge, and in some cases made great friends too. And the Heart that it took for you to love your fiance' enough to patiently endure this ordeal, and now challenge the remainder of this journey to a happy marriage.

Good Luck!
