Hey guys :dance: :dance:

I can't believe I got APPROVED today! I just checked my mail with a strong feeling that I will find a status change, and I DID! :o

My priority date is October 29th. I got an RFE on December 28th for the Arabic marriage certificate. I did not recieve the letter until January 30th :crying: :crying: I guess the letter never made it to Egypt and I had to ask them TWICE to send it to my friend in Texas!! On Februrary 7th, I got a confirmation email saying that USCIS has my RFE response and they are working on it, and on FEbrurary 15th, I GOT APPROVED :dance: :dance: I am pregnant now in 6 and a 1/2 month. I will be leaving my husband to go back on March 1st :D I hope god stands by us and he attends his daughter's birth :') I am really happy. I have all NVC packages ready and signed so I can send it out right awayyyy! :star:

Thank you all for your help :) I am here all the time if anyone needs advice, expecially fillers in Egypt :) I can help you to the best of my ability :D

Good luck all (F) (F)

6 1/2? Me too! When's your due date? Mine is May 30, I think we're really close! I wanted to go back to the states in April to have the baby there, but decided it would be better to stay here until my husband has his visa so that I could travel with him if possible. Plus, you never know if they'll get put into AP and how long that might take :( If he doesn't have visa in hand by August I'll have to go back anyway since my oldest will be starting first grade.

congrats on your approval, hope you get your case number and speedy processing at NVC!! GOOD LUCK!

Hey Roosha! :star:

My due date is June 5th :D wow, we are very close haha! I am going back to the states to deliever my baby because I start dental school 2 month after the baby is born! If I have the baby in Egypt, it will take longer to travel back to the USA with the baby by the time dental school starts! :( So I will be leaving in 2 weeks and praying god makes my husband's journey really fast. I am a bit worried about AP of course, but we are trying to think positively and trying to speed up the process by expiditing the NVC stage somehow! :)

Congrats on your pregnancy :D I wish you all the best with your family :) Let me know how the NVC process goes for you... :thumbs:
