It took a reasonable 116 days and now my fiance SMS'd me that we've gotten the "I-797 Notice of Action: The above petition has been approved" in the mail. :dance: . Reasonable because I assumed it would be a much longer wait because we were processed through Vermont but there it is. Thank you all VJ'ers for helping people out. I can't believe four months ago when I found this site that I was so misguided about what marrying a USC meant. I know that the hard part is still to come (and I'll probably come to you with questions) but step one is over, thank God. It's a good day.

Our Journey begins

I do find it odd that the USCIS page is so out of date.

It's definitely not as fast as CSC but looking at Igor's List it doesn't seem to be as slow as it was a couple of months ago.
