Please don't be discouraged, guys. There's a holiday on Monday. From what I've observed, watching other months, there's a lull in approvals the week before the holiday. This matches up with what I've seen. There was steadily a Nebraska May approval on average once every day from about the 1-6. Then we've had nothing since Monday. People will have been doing stuff to get ready to leave for holidays (government employees often take a couple extra days of their vacation time on either side of a long weekend to maximize use of their holidays--I see this in Canada, too). They'll come back by about Wednesday (having delayed returns to work to take advantage of cheaper flights and so on). We should start seeing movement again about Thursday. We might not, it might take until Monday next week, but I would gamble that we'll have about an approval a day coming out again by the 20th of October. I would also be very nearly willing to bet that when the approvals start coming again, they're coming faster than they were at the beginning of the month--freshly recharged employees get more work done.

Have hope!

Thank you for encouraging words. Wish us all speedy approval

Can't believe there's a May 2014 thread.. I started in May 2013, and along with others who started in the beginning of 2013, we are finally slowly making our way to approvals for I-130s and case compl

I recently sent in a inquiry for uscis to update me on my case. I received a email back stating that a officer is currently reviewing our case. Has anyone else received the same response? If so did you get the approval shortly after? Does it mean that a officer really is currently reviewing or is this a email they send everyone that inquires?

You can call the uscis and a rep will file inquiry for you or do e request online. They will only let you do it once it is exactly 5 months to the day. They will tell you you will receive a response about inquiry within 15 days. I received email about inquiry the next day. I only wish the approval came that fast. I am praying the email is correct and a officer is actually currently working on it.

Congratulations, Seth! Would you mind filling out your timeline? Or at least telling us your noa1 date and what service centre you were with? I'm just trying to keep track so I have some idea of if I'm jumping the gun in being impatient.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

I just totally freaked out because I got a text and email saying our case had been updated. Super excited and I logged on only to find that they have "updated our address", for which we have not submitted a change, but at least it means that someone is touching our file!!!!

Here's to hoping that they start working through all of our May cases quickly! My husband's on a plane now to visit me, so this will be good news for him when he lands this afternoon. :dancing:
