It's finally happened! i-130 approved! I can't believe it. I'm still in shock. After (nearly) 10 long months.  I got an e-mail from USCIS, and then I checked the app to make sure. This is what it looks like on the app. I'm not really sure what I do from here? I wasn't given a case number or anything, so I guess I have to wait for the mail?

 

Really crossing my fingers for everyone still waiting that Nebraska will move things forward quickly. I know how UNBELIEVABLY frustrating it must be to see this if your processing date is before mine. I'm really not here to gloat. I just had to share on this forum first thing so people would get up-to-date info.

 

I sent my senator an e-mail yesterday about the Nebraska issue yesterday (Al Franken- MN), and I received a response today with a request to sign a release form, saying they can contact USCIS on my behalf. I really recommend others to do this too!

Thanks for making a continuation.    We got our NOA1 on October 13th. My husband is from Uganda. Up to now, we haven't heard anything. I just hope they are at least doing SOMETHING with it!

Congratulations. .... 

As for a case number you wouldn't get that yet. You'll be notified when the case is transferred then you can either call for your case number an Inovice number or wait for the welcome letter via email as well as you can do both.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. I mean a 2 year old, and you saw your husband 2 years ago? Do you have a lawyer? If so, he should have been doing all the follow ups and not letting it get this far!

my daughter live with me and correct I haven't seen him 2 years now. yes we do and they are trying to get an appointment.
