Yeah RKD, I wouldn't be worried, seems like the documents you sent are ok.. If not you'll know soon. Like the others said, you can call then just to make sure all is fine. Good luck on the waiting...

Hi. I sent my I-130 on november 24,214. I still haven't received anything yet. I'm praying that they don't find any errors or anything missing because I prepared the forms all by myself with no attorney. The only thing I did is use the advice provided by this website. Thank you all for ur help.

After I posted the post about sending the i-130 last Tuesday, I opened my email today and saw a letter from USCIS telling me that my papers were APPROVE!! !! I was soooo happy. I wanted to post something here but I was kind of busy with school. They said I have to wait 7-10 days for the letter to arrive at my house .. :-D

Texas service center

Did your petition get approved, or did it get accepted? There is a big difference between the two.

It was accepted. Why what's the difference? This is what was written on the first sentence "Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS Texas Service Center for processing."

Accepted means they received your petition and will forwarded to one of the service centers for review/processing.

Approved means they have reviewed you petition, found it to be complete, and have finished all associated processing. Upon the petition being approved, it is then handed off to the NVC to pay the AOS and IV fees and submit the corresponding documents.

So which one would be better accepted or approved? Or faster I should say. Which one is faster to speed the process?
