Hang in there... yours is coming.. people transferred out of TSC to CSC are getting approved and you have more chance to have your file forwarded to NVC than others.... Keep the faith... it is coming

Yes, Hang in there.... I was approved on Monday and today Cindy Dean sent this: (NOTE THE PHONE NUMBERS *wink*wink*)

I apologize for any confusion with your case. It is currently being boxed up to go to the NVC and should be shipped out tomorrow evening.

Congratulation to everyone of you who got APPROVED!! You all deserved it!! Other's hang in there, we are still waiting on the other side of the line.

Well, we got the shock of out life today!! At around 6.30PM CST, thought of checking the Online Case Status page & to our horror we had gone back to "Initial Review" from "Post Decision Activity". For a moment, didn't know what to do!! Shot mails to everyone whom i knew from the USCIS/TSC etc etc & after an hour or so, we were back at "Post Decision Activity". Do these guys have fun plying with our lifes!! We are literally hostage in their hands!

No news on the NOA2 letter in mail, no NVC case#!!

that is freakin crazy and that's why its hard to believe that we got approved until we receive NVC number

[GettinScrewed 0]

Awesome this means that your case is being sent to NVC indeed!! Congratulations!!

P.S. - Can you please update your timeline as well!?

updated the timeline, i haven't received the hard copy yet, going off based on the email notification and status update online

I starting to think, (and it is totally against my normal thinking), that with this crowd, the only way of getting results is by becoming a pest so they will want rid of you. Wade got results didn't he. Besides, TSC actually INVITE emails and phone calls by promising things and not delivering. If we are promised to be shipped Friday, then we expect to be shipped Friday. It's totally natural to follow up. The broken promises only add to the psychological trauma. It's like they are playing one big game with us.

I agree. I emailed Cindy Dean, Angela Barrows, Denice Mitchell, Barbara Velarde, and the Ombudsman EVERY SINGLE DAY until I got a reply. Once they replied and actually showed interest, then I backed off. Less than a week later... APPROVED. Granted, the only reason I was emailing them was to correct the "Post Activity Decision" error because I didn't want them sitting on my application for an extra 180 days. Maybe it was just luck of the draw.... but... it does make you think.

Wow Congrats on all the Approvals for today...

Keep'em coming...

well just called NVC no case # yet... i wonder if TSC has shipped the approved application...

anyone who got approved on Feb, 10th have NVC case # yet....

[Tina.Benoy 2]

We're gonna try calling NVC on 02/17, hopefully they'll have somehting for us by then!! If one of us makes it through from the recently approved lot, atleast we can be optimistic that they(NVC) are working on our cases! This wait is killing!

ok don't know how to react, definitely excitement with mixed exhaustive feeling. Thank you everyone for the information provided on this thread, it has helped a lot specially dear Angela's email address that worked for sure.

Got the email today around 4.45 p.m. pst. Congratulations to all who got approved and hope everyone waiting get approved soon.

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On February 15, 2011, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

WooHoo! I got the same exact message today at the same exact time. I wonder if this means we can call to get our NVC number soon?

[jennie ann 15]

OK, I don't really know what's going on with those recent posts by a new person on here, but anyway...

A big hearty congratulations to everyone who got approved tonight, and to Val and Gary for FINALLY getting their case number! I'm so happy for you. Now I want to see the rest of this group taken care of by the end of the week!

[Never_lose_hope 10]

Bit late on this but our NoA2 notice came last friday =) Feb 11, 2011. We were transfered back from Texas on the 10th, they gave us notification they were doing the initial review and within hours, it was approved. Now we go to the next faze of this waiting game.
