From the looks of things none of us have heard anything yet...

At least from looking at Igors list.

Hopefully they'll move faster and give us all a well deserved NOA2 for x-mas! :thumbs:

The impression I've been getting is that touches are a good sign. Good luck! I hope they start touching mine soon - nothing since Oct 28th. Ah well, can't complain, there looks to be a bunch of Sept filers that haven't gotten there NOA2 yet. ARGH I wish this didn't take so long! Patience has never been one of my virtues. :clock:

It was indeed a Great sign!!!! This morning I received an email saying "we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION".

Here is the whole text. "On December 8, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."

I am excited. I hope this is a good sign for everybody else too.

Thanks.

I got some bad news yesterday,hopefully it's not true...

My husband called the Military Hotline just to check on our petition, he got the info that the California Service Center is processing only I-130s from june at the moment..

In one way it feels not accurate,since there are september filers with NOA2s but you never know.

Just wanted to share so there are more of us praying this is not the case.

Take care guys!

I got some bad news yesterday,hopefully it's not true...

My husband called the Military Hotline just to check on our petition, he got the info that the California Service Center is processing only I-130s from june at the moment..

In one way it feels not accurate,since there are september filers with NOA2s but you never know.

Just wanted to share so there are more of us praying this is not the case.

Take care guys!

:crying:

I wish USCIS had a page like Igor's List. It would be good to see how far along they actually are. Is there many active VJers on here that filed in June and haven't gotten an NOA2?
