Everyone!! Oh my God!

Oh my God! Everyone! I'm approved! I checked the USCIS website just now! Oh my God! And I had to keep on checking and clicking it just to make sure if its true and the website isn't just malfunctioning. Hahaha, anyone here July filers who got approved already! Check your statuses everyone! All praises to the Most High! Thank you everyone for the prayers! Now we're heading to the next step. I'm not sure what the next step is yet but we'll get to that. Hahahaha!

Don't loose hope everyone! I really believe that what I did last night was the reason why this miracle happened. For the first time in my life I knelt down and prayed and talked to Jesus Christ my Savior with all my heart. I had complete faith that everything will happen according to His plan. You might want to do this, believe and give thanks for an answered prayer even if it hasn't come yet. God is good all the time!

Just a summary, our petition was accepted July 25, transfered to Texas Nov.22, and approved today December 3. I think our case was expedited because I'm a Filipina and that benefciaries form Phils. are said to receive a benefit of expedit as a relief for the recent Typhoon Haiyan. Yes it is indeed fast! My husband and I are truly grateful for this wonderful time in our life!

Keep on praying everyone!

Hello there! Thanks!

What Service Center where you transfered -Melsy Anh? Our was in Texas Service Center. I really think the process will also depend on the Service Center. My husband have been saying Texas is the best Service Center compared to other centers ever since. Also, if the beneficiary is a Filipina good news will most likely be released before the month of December ends. I'll include you in my prayers. :) Happy Anniversary to you and to your husband. Like I said strong faith to God really do make great miracles. What happened to my case is a firm proof to that. So keep believing and don't loose hope. God bless you! :)

We are now waiting for our case to be forwarded to NVC. Still has a long way to go but everything will happen in God's perfect time. :)
