aha. Well, stay busy so you dont give yourself a stroke while waiting for his answer :)

"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!

I cant count how many times we went thru the application together, he took lots of proof, Chris' birth ceritficate and over 2 albums of photos, joint bank accounts, proof of property. I guess its just natural to be nervous. I mean i dont see a reson to be denied this time but you never know with immigration.

They could be looking at them right now but will still tell you 2-4 weeks. Soon, you've already waited this much and I'm sure it's the completion is right around the corner!

Good Luck Desire19!!

I love how they pass the buck back and forth. The USCIS said they have no information

The senators office and the congressional office both say it has been sent to the NVC on March 6th.

This is really old now.
