Congratulations! :goofy:

Now, kindly change your 'Timeline' to the correct service center. You have Texas listed in your timeline. If you aren't aware by now, the service center is listed on your NOA1. The Texas Service Center does not adjudicate K-1 petitions. Please change this to help us all get better statistics of the approval rates. If you are with VSC, this is great because it means March is being adjudicated, but it is great for you regardless. However, we can only determine VSC and CSC statistics by having accurate timelines. Thanks much!!

If you are with VSC, this is great because it means March is being adjudicated, but it is great for you regardless. However, we can only determine VSC and CSC statistics by having accurate timelines. Thanks much!!

It says "03.12.2012 - Text Confirmation from CSC" in their signature, so I guess it is no VSC approval.

I agree, please change your timeline OP, and congrats on your approval!
