Well, my fellow August filers, at 8:46pm EST I received a text, and an email from USCIS. My case was updated, and APPROVED. I'm just stunned right now as I write this. My hands were shaking when I found out, I was crying, I wanted to scream, I didn't know what to do! WOW!

I feel bad celebrating it, I know there is a ton of people still waiting. I wish everyone the best of luck! I pray everyone gets approvals soon!

WOW!

Congrats! This is great news.

I think you are the second of the August filers to get approved... right??

The thought of this makes me happy and scared at the same time.

Oh, I am right there with you! I would give anything to be with my Love sooner, but I've kind of reconciled myself to an 8-9 month journey. If I got approved tomorrow and cut the timeline by 4 months... eek! (ha, I wouldn't say 'no' though)

Fingers crossed to a smooth, fast journey for all of us.

The K-1 Visa journey for myself and my two K-2 children:

K-1: NOA1 2011-8-10; NOA2 2012-1-12; Interview 2012-4-24; Visa issued 2012-9-17; POE (Sarnia) 2012-9-26; Wedding! 2012-10-02
AOS: NOA1 2012-11-20; Biometrics 2012-12-14; AP/EAD approved 2013-1-11; Interview 2013-1-31; 2-yr Green cards in hand 2013-2-9 (101 days total)

ROC: NOA1 11-7-14; Biometrics 12-1-14; 10-yr Green cards ordered 4-13-15! (157 days total)

Counting down to naturalization time!
