Wife and I married on the 31st of August 2011, and after all evidence was gathered for the i-130, I filed it at the end of October. The CSC got it, and then forwarded it to USCIS, in which I received the receipt stating that they received the form and everything on the 3rd of November. It did go to the California Service Center.

It has been two months now, and still in initial review. Wife and I met on a social site, tagged, and talked for over a year and a half. Went there to the Philippines for a month, and her and I did marry. A good family background with her and everything. We can't wait to be together again, and patiently waiting for her to be here.

We do have sponsors lined up, for I am a full time student, and will be done with 2 of 3 degrees at the end of spring quarter, and working a really good job making way above poverty level. The sponsors are lined up for a just in case scenario.

I am a Navy veteran, was in for 10 years from 1997 to 2007. I don't know if that is taken into consideration or not.

To this day, from the day we met, we still talk online through yahoo messenger everyday, and talk on the phone about once a week. Oh how much her and I miss each other.
