I absolutely have no idea, there's nothing like that, i dont know what background check means, i assume they either just started working on our case or they are just giving this excuse to everyone so the people stop contacting them everyday...

No, no touches, no news. I too wrote my senator and congressman. Nothing yet.

Well, we are officially in the 12+ months waiting club. Time to start a new thread?? Just kidding. Mostly.

Soooo sorry! :crying::(

I still cannot believe it but we got approved :dance:

When I opened my gmail I saw an e-mail from CRIS, I looked for the word "approval", found it and started to tremble and cry, I got so "used" to being stuck that I thought we would never have this NOA2.

I checked immediately our online status, to make sure it was not a bad joke :)

"On February 13, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)"

It's for real.... :dance:

What a great present for valentine's day!!

So don't lose hope!!!!

I don't know if contacting our senator helped (we got the approval almost one week after the senator contacted USCIS), I don't know what got us stuck in security checks, I know that there were times when I got so pessimistic thinking the worse, but here came the big day.

Well, I did get a touch yesterday so it looks like they are doing something. Maybe they are really doing a service request and not just playin' me.

NOA 2. Really?
