CONGRATS! Looks like they are finally working on the March, April and May people they have been screwing around. :thumbs:

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I spent three months trying to illicit a mysterious second RFE from USCIS that was holding up our case... after pulling teeth to get them to send another copy they finally sent it to me. It turns out it was the IMBRA RFE, which we had already responded to!! It must have been lost and nobody bothered to tell us. I was furious.

Senator Mark Dayton's office finally had the leverage needed to get our case pulled to the head 'congressional adjudicator' and Sheryl and I have now, finally, finally been approved.

Thank you for all of your support!

Don't give up the fight! Raise immigration bullsh*t awareness and let's get this broken system fixed! Write your local media, make some formal requests to the Ombudsman! Let's get to the point where stuff (now that's a euphemism) like this doesn't happen!

(F)

That's really great i am happy for the both of you CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

My friend, my friend...I don't know how I missed this when you first posted it, but somehow I did. I have seen it now. I am so happy for you that words cannot possibly permit me to expresss my feelings adequately. If ever anyone deserved justice, it's you. And finally you have it! :thumbs:

:dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

:yes::star::yes::star::yes:

You know I continue to stand with you in the fight for total USCIS overhaul. There are important battles yet to wage.

For now, my heartfelt wishes that you and S will have a much easier road from here on out. Here's to seeing her permanently in the U.S. very, VERY soon!!

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...
