Anyone of 02/09 touches got the approval???

Anyway congrats to all the lucky "winners " yesterday! We are next ( soon hopefully)

No approval for me yet Sabi and I'm a 2/9 touch. Hopefully my caseworker will have some good news for us on Monday. Hopefully she will say "your case is with an adjucator" which will mean all the 2/9 touches will be with an adjucator. I guess we shall see soon enough!

We haven't heard from our congress office either so my fiance will be ringing them today... I would love to hear our case is with an adjudicator as that would mean all 02/09 touches are and we will be approved all together soon!

Thank you for going through all those numbers Sabi! It's so encouraging and I love seeing your updates! I go through about 20 around me and I didn't see a shift yesterday. I'll see if there's any change now and let you guys know.

Maybe your caseworker is on vacation too either way, I hope you and/or the rest of our little January family hears some good news soon!

No activity around me

Not at all! I love going through those numbers as long as I see lots of approvals like this week... we were right that usually they are very active on Thursdays! Hopefully today is going to be a good day too!

haha I wouldn't be surprised... It is really unfortunate that we got to a point (=summer) where people are on holidays, all we can hope now is that it won't drag forever and we will be approved in July... I was so sure that June would be our month... we have been saying that since April! How naive we were

I must say January filers are very supportive to one another... That's why am so glad and lucky I found this site... Reading your post calmed me especially during those days when I felt hopeless.. Just hang on there fellow january filers you will get the approval soon.. Hopefully by next week all january filers got approved. That would be great. Then this thread will be full of congratulations..yayy..

[sabi 148]

yes we have a lovely little family here!I can't wait to meet you all in person soon!

Once this is all done and everyone's loved one is in the US, there needs to be a January Filers meet-up somewhere. Maybe someplace like Chicago that's central.

at the end of the day, we just have each other no one else would ever understand what we are going through! One day one person is down , other day another! but we are hanging in there because we have a little support and we find a comfort here my fiance thinks I am down sometimes because of this website and reading all the stories here but the truth is, if not you guys, I would be really depressed by now, by not knowing what the heck is happening and I would feel like the only one going through a hell of waiting...

Chicago isn't really central haha

We were thinking Texas since there is a lot of people from around that area (+/- 12 hours)

It's also easier getting into for a lot of people owing to it being a major airline hub. Chicago isn't too bad because of the rail and flights though. Knowing me, I'd drive it

well we have 4 members from TX specifically, us from NM which is fairly close ( if you call 12h drive close ), the rest is from all over the place, New Orleans,New Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Boston etc so they would need to drive/fly anyway ... That's why I think TX would be best but of course I'll go with the majority either we are up for it!

[kittylondon 47]

i'm down for texas, plenty of cheap buses from LA to TX. or maybe by then we'll have upgraded our 21 year old jeep wrangler to the new mini cooper i desperately want, and i can drive!
