I just got a text saying that our I-130 was approved. I AM THRILLED!!! They received the notice Oct. 20 and they sent the petition on Feb. 10th so that is a little less than 4 months. We were at Cal. Service Center. Have any other Oct. filers received their NOA2? I'm so happy but it is a bit bittersweet because I know some people that have their files at Texas Svc. Center before me have not received their NOA2 yet. Oh and we only had 1 touch and it was a few days after they received our I-130.

2 questions. Have any Oct. filers with California received their NOA2? Has anyone filed prior to October not received their NOA2 yet?

Soo happy and I can't wait for EVERYONE to have their loved ones with them, not just the approvals.
