Are you able to check your own case status on the USCIS website? If so, log in and you'll be taken to your portfolio page. Click on your receipt number. Now, look at the address bar. At the end of the URL address, you'll see your receipt number. Click on the end of the address bar and change the numbers, ie if it reads "EAC0000000008" then change it to "EAC0000000007" and see what their status is.

If you're yet to sign up to check your case status, go here: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/selectusertype.jsp and use your receipt number (found on NOA1, starts with either CSC or VSC)

Wow I like that way of checking the status of your case and someone else's before you. Great tracking...secret7vf.gif system. I knew how to go to uscis website but this is one step further.

Thanks

We're in the same boat - all the I-129f petitions on either side of us are all approved and we wait anxiously!

Kinda makes you wonder if we fell under a desk somewhere, haha!

Am pleased for others to see so many getting quick decisions though - either way we're prepared to wait the full 5 months if necessary and anything sooner will be very welcome.

Good luck to everyone!

YaaaY we got touched!

Boooo we got a RFE but I guess we have to wait to get the hard copy to see what we need to show. I feel like I reinforced everything with the almost 200 page petition.

If I call the number in here tomorrow I wonder if they will tell me why so I can get started sending it back ASAP.

But still YaaY because I know they know we exist because we have been TOUCHED! (Dancing like a wild woman!)

There seems to be a lot of RFE's lately. I noticed that when I was doing my receipt number checking.

Good luck all!
