CONGRATULATIONS!!!



FANTASTIC NEWS!! GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU EVEN MORE THRU THE NEXT STEPS TIL UR FINALLY TOGETHER!!

All glory to God who brought us together in spirit, mind & purpose. We are the best of friends that's beyond the norm.

This blessed gift is like a rare & precious jewel. Entwined as One in ministry & covenant friendship...

Open to more as God leads & approves.

His government in our hearts is above all others.

1Samuel 18:1-4

Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

Oh well to us but congrats for them!

YAYYYYYYYYY---Approved!!!

Spent all night writing a detailed letter to congressmen of Georgia for his intervention, just woke up at 9:49 a.m. and there it was 2 text on my phone informing me that the status of the case has been updated.

Went online and saw both cases : I-130 and I-129 F approved.

I-130 ---212 days

I-129F--196 days.

What a relief--WHEW!!!!!1

Now, I know once they send the cases to NVC, the I-129F is administratively closed or are they gonna ask me first.

Should I ask my wife to get her Police certificate done ASAP!!!

Some advice would be more than appreciated.

To folks who are waiting, don't loose hope I have waited for almost seven months!

God bless VJ and its members for helping me get through this ordeal!

Yayy Aneel, congratulations dude!

Ya'll are in the same boat as me.

Now you need to focus on the CR1/IR1 deal. Maybe monday you can start call NVC to see if you already have your case # and after it everything will start moving fast.

Have shortcut here very very helpfull http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut

If you have some question just find the right topic and ask, everybody here is so kind and help us alot.

Have a great weekend! :dance:

Congrats - hope your next step of this journey goes quickly and goes well.

Do please keep us informed of your progress - and i am especially interested in your wife's efforts for her police certificate as my wife will have to go through the same, also in pakistan - but she has lived in several places since 16 - so its going to be tough.
