CJ,

Thanks so much...

ALL here: THank you allllllll SOOOO MUCH.

I will call USCIS on Monday and find out about the Expedite... but from the looks of it: YES it was the expedite because as you cansee from my signature the baby's I-130 is from JUNE. So unless VSC is stepping it up...

i dont know...

I wish everyone the best... and hope that you're next. I will still be here daily and probably annoy some people with NVC questions.. so please forgive me in advance.

what was the reason for the expedite that u gave them, if i may ask?

yea but it even says on the SDQ consulates web site that "based on your medical history the physician will determine which vaccines are needed..." So if they come with a vaccine history they'll be better off...

Hey... YMR... where should i tell her to get the Police Certificate... i heard that it wasnt really at the Policia Nacional but instead the DGII or Procuraduria or some ####### like that... you know how cops and buscones lie to get one dollar over there..

She has to go to the Postal Office at La Feria the Procuraduria is running the process inside if the postal office building. The process is quick, she will get it same day. There is not buscones there, she would have to do that by herself. She has to bring the cedula, 1 pic and RD$330 pesos. Certificate is issued same day.

Congratulations!!!

I'm happy for you. Your wife's petition was sent in february so it was about time! And I think they wouldn't approve your wife while leaving your daughter behind... So they probably paired them up. :)

I wanna believe VSC is approving February filers even without expedite requests... I really hope so! Things are getting harder after these 6 months waiting!

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

I seemed to have made a mistake!

My wife's I-130 hasnt been approved yet.. ONLY the baby's... however they were both touched today. Only the baby's was approved.

HOWEVER

I received the letter in the mail dated SEP 22 from USCIS that the expedite request i sent in was APPROVED. I figure it's only a matter of time.

Man, i coulda sworn i clicked on her number and saw an approval... #######

How long should the rest take... i figure the baby's went first because there really is no background checks for her or anything... it's just approval at face value...
