Ok this is just crazy. Last night I had a dream that we got an RFE because I did not submit the (T.O.S.) terms of service of the dating site that we used or provide any info about the site at all. I checked "NO" for question 35. Did you meet your fiancé(e) or spouse through the services of an international marriage broker? All I did was list the name of the site. www.asiandating.com. I did many other things wrong that if I took the time to read the K-1 Guide I would have had a better packet. Including failing to put "I-129F" on the mailing envelope AND not knowing about the e-notifications forum but I did sign up for USCIS case tracking once I had my WAC number. I was actually happy in my "dream" because I knew that even with an RFE at least my petition was being worked and after I sent in the info it would be approved shortly thereafter. Well a dream is not reality and there was no RFE or anything else when I woke up. :cry:

Full disclosure. I have petitioned someone over 21 years ago via a K-1 this was WELL before the internet. It took about 5-6 months total back then. I did another K-1 over 10 years ago which was also approved. This was Pre-IMBRA and it took 95 days for NOA 2 to show up and 7 months total from filing to Visa in hand. Believe it or not I used these very forums 10 years ago but a lot has changed. So there you have it. I know it's a lot of baggage but I have no regrets. Actually I have 2 beautiful children to show for it.

Me and the kids were making cookies tonight after watching the GOP debate "talk about entertainment". I had a BLEEP text message on my phone and it said........"Your Case WACXXXX is now updated Check "My Case Status at www.uscis.gov"

My heart nearly stopped. My first thought was "oh boy I'm getting an RFE" . Well I logged on and as of DECEMBER 15th, 2015 your case is APPROVED" :joy::joy:

I am just stunned now and at a loss for words.

First thing I did was dial up my honey (L) in the Philippines to tell her the great news. I nearly cried.

She said "What's next?" I said "You're Next" LOL

Thanks so much for everyone's support here especially Eric and Orn(Keep those stats coming), HappyLaytons,(congrats again on your NVC number) Ted and Janine and of course Jaimie aka James1942 who I know is 100% getting his approval BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Thanks to everyone else including the grand Poohbah - Greenbaum.

Wow I feel like I'm giving a speech after winning a beauty contest or something.. :rofl:

So bottom line it took 28 days from Nov.17th :joy:

Two worlds erupt in flames in these last of days


Your world is clouded in strife


As mine is clouded in darkness


We look for reprieve so as to end this madness


A reprieve of a visa that would bring us together


If This takes forever forever I will wait



All the world is against us


Troubles find us where ever we are


Seemingly as if to keep us apart


No one heard of K-1 until now


And now the K-1 maybe no more


If This takes forever forever I will wait



You have said my life is like a Hindu movie


Incredible changes incredible life


Nothing for anyone to believe


And now you are part of that movie


If This takes forever forever I will wait



Your world is in turmoil no longer can we speak


My world is in purgatory no longer can I breathe


We are worlds apart yet our hearts together


My thoughts are with you every day as we wait


If This takes forever forever I will wait



Now I sleep and yet I sleep not


For sleep eludes me these days of wait


The last words you spoke to me where so long ago


You said be patient my love


You said you will be there waiting


If This takes forever forever I will wait,


If This takes forever forever I will wait


"MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR"

I'm sure my boss will be just as excited for me to get that NOA2. So I can focus on work, instead of mulling around like a lovesick teenager. :rofl:
