you are not alone. I filed October 27 , '08

was transferred to CSC jan 14 with whole bunch of others. Others are all done and have their sweethearts over already. I still remain wishing...for whatever is next....

called CSC last week. Spoke to an IO but thought she was just a CSR acting as IO. I was wrong. I see the Last Update dates changed. The dates changed to the one I was talking to her . I remember clearly her saying " let me pull your file" that means they have my file. but she said no one is assigned to the case, and she isnot sure who, when , how or what? She told me to wait 30 days, and if no info call back. I just with they touch my file and send me either an RFE or approval. They have no other choice but those two- RFE or approval. Rest assured.

its easy talk hard to wait , I know.... :)))

Received GC 2009-04-01

Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!
