April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

My email was very simple, I put the cases #s as email title :

"Dear Sirs,

We have filed the petitions July 27 2010 (NOA1) on November 3 2010 they were transferred from California Service Center to Texas Service Center. We have not had any update on our cases since November 24 2010.

Can you please inform us whether when the petitions are being processed?

Looking forward to having your feedback."

Just had an email from our lawyer.

I think things are close for us, and all of us.

Maybe they DO approve, and then take a while to input into the system like yours Jenny - wasn't yours completed on the 14th, but not mailed to you until the 19th? I'm hoping that Officer Garza does her/his bit today. I suspect there is a lag between approvals and the submission to the computer system.

The latest email from our lawyer said:

I contacted the immigration office today in regards to the I-130application.

Shesaid that the review of the case was completed on 1/19/2011, 2 days ago. Theapproval however is still pending.
