No, it doesn't hurt. Seeing your approval really inspired me, so to speak. I'm hoping I have the same results. I'd be so happy! But anyways, congrats on your approval! I know we have similar dates... I have a good gut feeling which is pretty much accurate most of the time. I think I'll get my golden ticket this month. :) Just keeping that hope, you know?

Yes that's all you can do is keep the hope! I imagined myself getting the approval so much and kept telling myself it was coming. It's the only thing that kept me sane!!

How long did it take you to get word back from your senator on your approval after your contacted him? Just curious. 

They actually got back to me super fast. Called on a Thursday, sent the completed privacy form to him on Sunday with my NOA1, heard back from him on Tuesday with the news that USCIS advised it was approved. Keep in mind, when I say "him" I'm referring to the immigration specialist that works in his office. I really think I just got crazy lucky because it was way too good to be true. Lol. :) 

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

That's what I'm doing. Although certain days I just completely crash physically and mentally from the stress. Each day that goes by just gets more difficult, but now I'm just going with your method and hoping for the best! 

It's really all I can do, and it at least gives me some level of control considering this whole thing makes us all powerless. I would like to exert some kind of power that could end up in an approval. Then, I'll finally be able to move on with the show and hopefully have my fiancee here with me! Funny thing is, the last time I seen my fiancee was December 23rd 2016, and he came in America in September. It would be really nice if I can get him here in the same time frame that he was here last year. :)

Talked to my Senator office's immigration clerk today in Orlando by phone. He said he sent me a letter yesterday as I asked them for help two weeks ago. :(:(:(:(:( Was told they were told it could take another 3 or 4 months for March filers, to call back then. Said they work in order received, and said that was interesting and started listing a number of cases that was after ours, and many others here so that it impossible to be true. So arrrrrrrr.  

Your average Senator is clueless on how the USCIS process works.

Mine essentially told me the same thing - In fact, they added that the entire process should take 12 - 15 months, but did give me detailed information directly from the site. So I guess I will have to take it, or just move to Russia.

yes I'm thinking of relocating as well.

I've never seen USCIS such a mess as they are now.

Even the case tracker was taken down.

I'm 100% convinced they took it down on purpose and nothing was wrong with it.

Someone please prove me wrong. LOL

Yes, in about 2 weeks, petitioner will receive an official mail from NVC with NVC number, embassy where to go for interview. Then, depends on which country, 1 month after official NVC letter, you will receive packet 3 email instruction for payment, packet 4 email after 1 week, to schedule your interview. But usually, you will only receive these email when you already paid your interview visa fee. (probably, almost the same with other countries)

You are welcome. His assistant responded right away. I can send you the form that they will send you if you don't want to wait which I am sure if you are anything like me you wouldn't want to wait. I believe we spoke once before and have close dates of NOA1.  But email the assistant once you have sent it and she will respond within the same day. They are great.  It has been about 2 weeks now, but they assure me that they are working on getting some action taken on my case.
