Wow, that is great news! Congratulations!! :dance:

Well, Howard just got off the phone with USCIS. He spoke to a nice lady who though didn't tell him anything new, just that our petition was received on 1/30 and it's pending. She didn't see any updates on her screen either (those touches we had last week). But she said we could call and inquire anytime.

I just feel like crying :crying:

Congratulations, and thank you for the good luck wishes.

"Ski" and me were touched twice last week, but no news since. Earlier today I called customer service and the very pleasant service representative recited the online paragraph "On January 26, 2007 we received your I-129f...." Then I asked the very pleasant service rep for more information about when I can expect to hear something. I was informed they were now working on October 15 fiancee visa applications, so I had almost four more months to wait! :rolleyes:

Maybe I should contact my Congressman or Senators and have them wake up someone at CSC with a bonk on the head. :bonk:

The USCIS telephone information and help staff are the nicest kindest people! They are eager to assist any way that they can! Which is nothing... :huh: And please call them anytime for more of the same... :help:

Thanks for all the congrats B) Len and How - sorry to hear about the frustration. I have to agree that the CSC has been pretty pathetic for our cases! Future Mrs, SkyMas, and everyone who's still waiting, I hope it won't be too agonizing. :wacko:

Congratulations mountaingirl!

And thank you and kengumbo, hmm1, lucho562 as well for the optimistic wishes.

It's about a month longer waiting for the NOA2 than expected.

As of my last check, there are 28 filers who received their NOA1 the last week of January. Twelve are still waiting for their NOA2. I hope we all hear good news tomorrow or Friday!
