Oh its great to see movement! At least they are looking at your case now and have blown the USCIS dust off it ;) I would be calling them for an update rather than waiting for the computer to reflect an approval. I believe that the update on the case status site is behind what they actually can see.

TIer 2 stands behind all the incorrect #######... She told me the A-number change is just a glitch in their system and there has been no updates on my file .. it is still being processed... She told me the I-129F's can take up to 6 months.. I said " oh really, my I-130 has been pending for 11 months and 1 day" she says " oh, really? let me get your case number for that" " oh yea, it has been almost a year..." well DUHHHHHHH

waste of time.... Tier 1 and tier 2 are robots that read from a screen.

its Friday AGAIN... I'm trying to stay positive.

I told my husband about the glitch in the system and the Alien Registration number change etc.... I feel like I should have kept my mouth shut because now he is very hopefully that we will hear something today. I hate to disappoint him....

I am touched by the support that came through this thread yesterday.. You are all wonderful people. Only VJers know the pain of waiting.

On another note read this article... DACA is what got us all caught up in this horrific wait...
