To refer back to a post I made here last night in the K-3 forum, I got the same five e-mails that were reported by other members yesterday afternoon, and at that time my online status showed a Touch on my I-129F. Then last night before I went to bed I was browsing the new USCIS site so I checked again just out of habit, and found that my I-130 had also been Touched (that's when I posted here). Then I woke up this morning to find three e-mails, all with a time signature of 2:31am, notifying me that our I-130 was approved yesterday!!!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Now my online status says that both petitions were also touched today. Hmmmm, could an I-129F approval be on the way as well? :D:D:D

So, CSC members whose I-129F's were recently transferred in have a reason to be encouraged! Let's hope a flood of new approvals is about to begin!

76 days. Not too shabby! :star::thumbs::star::thumbs::star::thumbs::star:

Thrilled to BITS!
