Well, I still haven't updated my timeline yet because I haven't recieved anything in the mail yet (neither NOA1 or NOA2) probably because they are mailing everything to Indonesia and I may never get it, but according to the E-Notifications I got the notification that the lockbox recieved my Petition in Chicago on January 8th and was forwarded to the California service center and that within a week they would be mailing me NOA1. Then today I just received an E-Notification from my USCIS online account that "on Januray 18th they Approved our I-130 petition" and that they are now in the Post Decision phase and that they are mailing me something again(presumablly NOA2. The email says that "Post Decision Processing may involve forwarding our petition to NVC depending on our case..." So it appeasr that it was 10 days for step 1. I'll update my timeline with official dates when I see this stuff come in the mail or I talk to them on the phone to verify tomorow (well tonight here).

lucky you! :wow:

All I know, is that I need you... I need you in my life as much as I need food or water or air to breathe - for the longest time, I've had this thirst deep inside... only to be known and understood and be loved for who I am. I have longed for someone, someone like you - to share my life with... all the ups and downs and everything in between. then out of no where - you walked into my life, quenching my thirst, satisfying my longing. and I know from every thing with in - that you are the one... you're the one I've been waiting for all this time. I want and I need you - more than I can usually find words to say... But today and always - please believe and know that you're the one for me and I'll hold you close and I'll never want to let you go...

**** Moving from CR-1 Process to CR-1 Progress Updates ****

Congrats!

This seems to be more proof that people who live abroad (ie could have filed DCF until last year) are being processed faster.

See? When filing from overseas, since DCF has been yanked, is different priority on adjudication at USCIS.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

That was lighting fast in the world of 'approved petitions.'

LOL

I so agree with you. I had to do an "edit" to remain a good sport on this one! 178 days and counting.....I have waited a total of 170 days more than these people! This is TOTALLY UNFAIR!
