Hey guys I wanted to share with you what we have just got:

Post Decision Activity On January 13, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.

We ARE APPROVED!!!!! :) :)

Good luck to all of you and things have really started moving at TSC, you will get good news soon too! Thank God!!

This is excellent news!!! Congrats Skynaut

Thank you so much everyone!! That's a really happy day for us!

Someone asked what we did to get it approved, well, I don't know if what we did really sped up the process but 5months after our priority date we contacted USCIS and wanted to place a SR, they refused, then my hubby called them the following day, someone else answered the phone and that person himself offered to open a SR LOL [very strange they couldn't do it the first time he called]. So as soon as we opened a SR, we contacted our senator, he promised to see what was going on. Jan 10th the senator told in his letter that exactly that day our petition was pulled for processing and on the 12th we also wrote emails to CSC and TSC telling them our priority date and that is was more than 5 months. In the morning Jan 13th we got emails from TSC and CSC but they didn't say anything new. And guess what? APPROVAL!!! I don't know which of these really influenced the approval, who knows maybe the senator really sped up the process or maybe even w/o all those mentioned above we would have gotten the approval on Jan 13th! I don't know this.

I wish you guys to be approved really soon, I know how hard it is to wait, but TSC finally started approvals, so you are next in the line to get it!

Ok so now what we have to do is to wait one week and start calling NVC? OooohhhI do hope TSC will forward it to NVC!!!

Basically our petition was approved in 5 months and 2 days since NOA1 and in 5 months and 12 days since our priority date!

Loto...I have a question??? I was approved on Monday when should I start calling NVC?? I was thinking of waiting until I got the hardcopy of NOA2...Thanks

congrats!

this is why (i feel) they went backwards thru the petitions, because it looked good getting petitions approved in 3/4/5 months with only a handful extremely late rather than ALL at or after their times. JMHO though

ezzeswife,

Normally it takes few days for NVC to generate the NVC Case# after the actual approval date of I-130. so, now onwards, you may try reaching NVC# with your I-130 Receipt# to get NVC Case#.

Good luck!

I got an email and text today that we were approved...

Congratzzz..its a long wait...we r waiting and hopeful for Jan 2011 too

Congrats to everyones who has approval. Ok If you saw my post you know what I am talking about. My case was transferred from CSC to TSC in november but I actually filed and have a priority date of July 6 , 2010. ok so my case has not been updated since November 29, 2010. I called the customer service and requested an expedited service call. They said I would received a notification in my e-mail within 5 days. The first call I made the lady told me I actually was outside of time frame and someone would call me back.. that has been 2 weeks ago. Now, I called again and requested an expedited service call and they said within 5 days I would receive a letter. What I find curious is that she said once my application was transferred, my 5 months start again all over. so that means its a period of 10 months waiting. The first lady told me that it was the same time frame.. what do I do now? I have been waiting for now a little more than 6 months.. any comments in what I have to do. My youngest daughter is down syndrome and I would really like this to be over.. if my daughter keeps missing her therapies , they will drop her from the program.. so I urgently need to keep going with this process..pleas help me.

Go to the USCIS site and enter Expedite.

* Department of Defense of National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)

* USCIS error

* Compelling interest of USCIS

If your case is at a local office at the time you need to make your emergency request, please go to the local office in person to make your request. Please be sure to take all supporting documentation with you.
