Today I checked my email and there was nothing. Checked USCIS and still nothing and there hasn't been a touch since Dec 10. Then tonight at around 7pm I glanced at my in box and there was an email from CRIS my wife was approved! I was in shock.

I applied for her I-130 and it was received on OCT 27 so it's been just a bit more than 3 months.

I hope you all get a fast approval to your cases. Now we are in the 2nd leg of the race.

Joe n Kate

I BELIEVE (NOT VERIFIED) JUST A GUESS>>>

that 7PM must be when they batch submit approval emails...

I got my FIRST TOUCH at around 11:00 am and then at 7:00 pm CST I got my email.

Maybe if others can post the times their approval email a pattern can be seen - it would be nice for those still waiting to know what time everyday when they should DEFINITELY CHECK their email :yes:
