Hi everyone, I'm Chen (:

I've been reading a lot here over the past few weeks and decided to join.

I'm a USC and I've recently submitted an I-130 for my mom (Jamaican) - so I've been researching timelines, experiences and such.

Aside from the stuff I've found here, everything else has been through the USCIS site or wherever Google takes me lolz.

Thanks for all the useful information.

-Chen

Oh word? that's longer than I was expecting - but looking at the information in your sig it's a lot more other stuff that goes on than the 5 months process time they show on the USCIS website for Vermont Service Center...

Hey should I start a new topic or can I ask other questions here?

Does this thing have an instant messenger or anything? :unsure:
