This morning while I was at work, I was static when I receive a text saying status change from USCIS. Mixed emotions of Happiness (finally some movement with my case) and their goes the nervousness (scared to see an RFE). Before I go in on the USCIS site, in silent I prayed wish for the Lord to grant us our petition. Then as I clicked Status checked, I was stunned to see this:

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

I always used regular mail (With tracking so I know where that ####### is) I dont think you can email. I've recieved a few emails from USCIS / NVC but they seem to like snail mail. And you are literally, in the start. BUT it's a good start :D WAHOO!

You will need tax stuff yes for the "Affadavit of Support" But calm down grasshopper, I dont think thats the next step.

I know my timeline sucks, but my husbands P.O.E was on January 7th, 2013!

Greencard in hand! After almost 4 years, WE DID IT!

..May not need the affidavit of support just yet..but no harm in preparing ahead right? and also, Im talking about emailing for the choice of agent..some of the people says its okay to do so.
