NOA2 - APPROVED!

[Emmet & Tina 0]

Received an email today at 5:45pm stating that we have been approved!!!!

"On April 25, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN."

Must have read it at least 10 times to make sure it was for real, almost hard to believe that it's true, so HAPPY!

Thanks to all of you who have posted and kept us all updated on your progress, it has been such a tremendous help to know what others are going through.

For those who are still waiting, hang in there - things are moving now.

WRITE YOUR SENATORS - IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!!

I wrote a letter to CA US Senator Barbara Boxer's office that I sent on April 6. Called the office the following Wednesday to confirm that they had received it (which they had). The following week after that I got a voice mail from a Constituent Representative at Barbara Boxer’s Bay Area Office (on 4/17). I was out of town at the time and called back this week (yesterday). The representative told me the following:

The Representative had called the USCIS last week and was informed that a Case Officer was currently working on our petition and that we should receive notice of adjudication within the next month (by mid-May). The USCIS representative furthermore stated that the RFE we were notified about on January 16 had been automatically generated when the Case Officer added a note/comment to the file regarding an additional review, meaning that we might not need to submit additional evidence (an RFE might not be needed or sent out at all) since the comment could also just be an indication of the additional time needed to review our case.

Turns out a there was no RFE for us after all, hope that makes a difference for some of you waiting for an RFE.
