Thanks so much Jan!!!

Don't really know Jan, it seems two of the biggest factors are luck and luck. The second part of luck is that if the petitioners name isn't so common that it shows up as possible match in the database and then it takes a bit longer to verify cause at some level they have to check physical records.

I think thats why the youngest applicants seem to get approved the quickest cause they haven't had a chance to have much history.

Good luck Jan hopefully yours is just around the corner! (F)

P.S. Agreed, the process sucks!

So middle of last week I got an email saying we were being sent an RFE :-( So I just figured we'd wait til it showed up and then send in whatever we needed to, but I just got back from work tonight and I have another email from USCIS telling me that they approved our application :-s Well confused now. Whatever. Yay :-)
