Hello fellow VJers,

Just wanted to share the GREAT news that my fiance and I received an email notice tonight from USCIS that our application has been APPROVED! We received an RFE on August 1st, responded August 7th (well, it got sent around the 8th or 9th). I was feeling a little bit down today about the process, wondering when the heck we'd hear some good news. Well the good news is here. And I just wanted to give thanks to this forum for being like an online support group... it's a tough journey for all of us, but this very moment makes the wait seem more than worth it!

Ironically I came down to visit my fiance a couple days ago, so we are able to celebrate this approval together :).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
