I just sent this fax to TSC....

All I want for

Christmas is

my I-130 APPROVAL!!

There are many of us that were transferred from the National Benefits Center to your office in November. We are all suffering extended processing times. Please grant us all a Christmas wish and process as many of the transferred files as quickly as possible. As you spend the holidays with your families, please remember that we have been apart from ours for almost a year and some even longer. The California Service Center is approving at a great pace. As a Texan, I know that we can’t let ourselves be outdone by them! Thank you for your efforts to make this holiday miracle happen for us! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

It had some holiday graphics...I didn't put my name on it...not sure how it would be received. Hopefully, it helps kick start them into action!

What is the fax nmber because this letter is AWESOME ! ! ! ! I want to send something like this tomorrow !!! What a great idea !!

LoveMy Tico.....We're next this week!! ;-)

I hope it comes by tomorrow. My wife is due to enter the US POE (Seattle) on Friday. Would be nice if she had an appoval email in her hand as well, just in case.

OK, I'm good with that !! I can't stand being away from my husband. ( and I know it is the same for everyone here) I just left him on Sunday but it has been so hard since I came home. Chats and phone calls aren't enough. I hope Santa brings us an approval. I really really wish for a Christmas Miracle !!
