Yesterday I received email from USCIS informing me that my case has been approved, barely three weeks since I sent my I129f to the VSC.

I know I should be pleased, but the day after I sent the package I realized that I'd inadvertantly sent a COPY of the docs with original signatures. I've been glumly waiting for an RFE... and now I'm a bit shocked.

I'm guessing no one can answer this, but what's the chance of this being flagged now that my case is being forwarded to the NVC?

08.24.06 - I-129F sent to VSC

08.30.06 - NOA1

09.01.06 - NOA1 snail mail

09.09.06 - touched

09.15.06 - NAO2 approval via email

09.19.06 - NVC receives package

09.20.06 - NAO2 snail mail

09.26.06 - NVC mails package to US Embassy in Moscow

10.03.06 - Consolate receives package

10.17.06 - Interview prep package received by fiancee

12.12.06 - Approved!

12.16.06 - Picked up visa from DHL office in Moscow

12.20.06 - POE JFK, just in time for the holidays...

02.10.07 - Married, viva Las Vegas!

04.02.07 - AOS mailed

04.10.07 - AOS NAO1 received

05.03.07 - Biometrics @ Varick St., Manhattan

06.05.07 - Request to Appear for Initial Interview received (interview date: July 31)

06.25.07 - EAD card received

06.28.07 - AP document received (thanks for nothin', she'll have her green card before her travel date!)

Just mail them to your spouse. Your spouse should then bring them to their interview at the embassy.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

I would say a very remote chance, if already approved.

Congratulations on the Approval.

:thumbs:

I second that... Plus I did the same thing and look at us... We're in the bonus round without an RFE that was not IMBRA related!!! Cheers!!!

There was an interoffice memo posted by Aussiewnech that advised USCIS does not necessary need original signatures from teh beneficiary. I can't seem to find that thread today. Maybe it applies to your case and the reason teh approval came through without any RFEs.

Congratulations on the approval. :dance::dance::dance:
