Hi all

Guess what!!!! My husband called on Saturday night and ..... we have been approved!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance: He got the notice in the mail on Saturday! It says we were actually approved on the 15th but got no notice online or anything!! Been checking everyday and nothing. even today!! not complaining though!! Aslso had no touches since October sometime. Crazy how they work. So the NVC already sent my papers to the consulate here in South Africa on the 22nd Jan. Called today and thats what they told me!! IM SO EXCITED!!!! Very nervous now but so excited!!

Ill be thinking about all of you still out there waiting - especaill the people how filed way before me! Hopefully there is good news on the way. I would just call and ask as the web site doesnt seem to be too reliable!

Thanks to everyone who helped me through this. And answered all my silly questions! lol

Ill keep you all posted on what happens next!!

AARRRGGG CANT BELIEVE I FINALLY GET TO DO ONE OF THESE POSTS!!! :blink:

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Congrats!!!

Same thing happened to us. We were approved on the 16th but we didn't find out until last Friday. Even though I called so many times, representatives told me our case was still pending.

Good luck with the next part of the process :thumbs:
