:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance: Checked my mailbox when I got home & there sat the approval letter for our I-130...next stop NVC. Our case got touched several times, but no status update or e-mail that we were approved...but we got the hard copy today! I'm so excited.

Good luck to all those still waiting...please know your time is coming soon. I know how it feels to wait, but trust me, when you see that approval letter all the time you waited will quickly leave your mind!!!

I truly want to wish you a sincere congratulations. I hope you all continue to prove me wrong ! Maybe the reported 6 months is not a real average, OR, maybe it takes you quickies, to balance out the average for those so unfortunate that await much longer than 6 months. Good luck on your next steps. I hope we can follow you close behind.

told ya the move to CSC, was good news :)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

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!
