Congrats!!!

Just curiosity, is there a reason that permanent residents are getting priority over usc?

Hi, I don't think so, maybe it's just plain luck and prayers, or they take our children into consideration, my husband has been away from us for 5 years, visits us every 2 years and kids are growing up without a father, maybe a humanitarian thing, I am not sure though :-) but according to my fellow F2A buddies, Our cases are slowing down when it reached NVC plus we still have to wait for available visa unlike USC beneficiaries who have available visas already that makes our process slower than USC beneficiaries it speeds up because F2A was current from July-Sept

Hey everyone - just checked my status on uscis.gov and it still says "initial review"...so i'm wondering if my application is even being looked at. Should I give them a call? if you're getting a RFE, at least you know it's on someone's desk being reviewed.
