They received our package on January 6th, 2015. Havent heard anything since then, not sure if this is normal or not... Checking the receipt numbers it seems like there are only three more before ours.

Hi Everyone, I've been stalking this forum for MONTHs. I was thrilled to see a Jan 2015 filers forum but truthfully I was more excited to see that there is a Jan 2015 TSC forum. I barely squeaked int

I'm going to run the risk of going against the grain here and maybe upsetting some of you. Comparing your cases to other people's in an exercise in futility if not frustration. No two cases are alik

Hey again! Just wanted to let everyone know how speedy everything is once you get out of Texas!!! The NVC received my case last Monday, I got the number on Wednesday, and today it has arrived in the DR. We have our VAC set for Wednesday, medical on Thursday and the interview on July 7. Luckily for us, the DR allows you to schedule everything ourselves so we didn't have to wait around. I'm crossing my fingers for everyone else in this thread and in the threads from September-December as well! Thanks for all the advice and information to make this journey go as smoothly as possible.

At 9:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26, I received a text and an email alerting me that my I-129F had been approved and that the paper confirmation letter is on its way.

Wow, I didn't think I would be one of the lucky ones...was expecting mid-August!

So, I guess the Januaries are trickling in, so it's coming, everyone, the end is on the way.

How is it that some people receive these approvals after TSC hours which are 8:00am to 6:00pm CST? This has happened more than a few times so I wonder if after approval is made it is automated in their computers or some people work after hours to do this. I am so glad to hear of some January filers getting their approvals! Keep them coming lets hear from some more of you with the good news. Me too I hope soon!!
