Finally received the notice of approval from the Texas Service Center, my priority date was March 9. The notice was dated October 3 and I received it today, October 7. Case status has still not been updated on their website and I never received any text or email notifications; so much for technology.

 

Best of luck to everyone else still waiting.

Congratulations!!

I hope we all hear some good news very soon...Praying!!!

Good luck with the next steps.

Hey everyone, we've been following this topic for a while now. Thanks for all the hope and help and encouragement. 

 

About us:

 

I am Syrian, my wife is American. We both live in Istanbul. 

We filed March 13th, our office is Nebraska. NOA is March 17. 

We are still waiting, happy to hear from cases from January are being approved.

 

We have two questions.... maybe someone here can help us out?

 

1) We live in Turkey, and the news just came out that there will no longer be non-immigrant visas granted to Americans here. This is in response to America first cancelling issuance of all new visas to Turkish citizens. Do you think these circumstances could qualify us to request expedited processing? It's imminently possible if things continue to escalate that my wife and I will be separated... 

 

2) As I am Syrian, also of course we are concerned that I won't be eligible to get any visa, period, even if I am a spouse. Our attorney told us this shouldn't matter until the interview period, in which case the US consulate can grant us a waiver. Does anyone know about this, the waiver process? Is it true that if there is an all-out travel ban on Syria I can still get a waiver and be granted a spouse visa? 

 

Thank you all, we are so in admiration of your collective patience and strength. With regards to all,

I can only answer your first question. Right now they are only suspending non-immigrant visas. So it has no affect on spousal visas. Therefore I don't think it's a reason to expedite since it's not affecting you at all. If you're both living in Turkey, what visas or permits do you have? If your wife already has a Turkish visa or permit that doesn't expire soon, then she can come & go with it until it expires.
