My wife called me today to say that she received the approval letter from USCIS.

We filed our I-130 in Feb 2008.

After being transferred to Cali, FBI checks and add mailing additional evidence we finally got it our petition approved. It was a long wait for us. Just hope that the rest of the journey will be much faster .

CONGRATULATIONS!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
