Anytime my friend, we are in the same boat and heaven knows we all need a word of hope and encouragement to get us over the line on those tough days when it seems never ending.

 I feel the same Pink_Waters!  Members on VJ represent a certain percentage of people who filed.   Wtbs USCIS may have started approving some of the applicants who are not a members of VJ.  Who knows?? 😵😲  I'm just ready to be with my husband

I wanted to say thanks to you guys, as I have been lurking in your I-130 April forum. I filed an I-130 at the end of April (Received date of April 26/Notice date of May 1) and filed an I-129F | K3 at mid-May (Received date of May 12/Notice date of May 16) as we got married in Russia. We were using your guys' enthusiasm and positive energy to manage through this frustrating time-period of open ended approval date together with my wonderful wife. There are only a few K3 applications on the entire site, and there was 1 in my timeline vicinity, therefore the timeline estimate does not even work.... Additionally, I could not track the status of I-130 online either until Sept 5 = case was not found, but I could track the I-129F, I was banking on getting that approved first based on what I saw happening.

 

So, here came the surprise - no notification, no status update online (still pending), but this morning I opened my mailbox and I found a single mail - it was the I-797 NOA2 for the I-130 petition | APPROVED on Sept 1. SRC*****41577 in 123 DAYS.

 

What an awesome Saturday present! Of course, now comes the NVC and stuff, but at least from here, the process is transparent and predictable.

 

This came in 2 months faster than current statistics, therefore those of you who are waiting, there is a chance that it will go faster. It is easier said than done, but hang in there, it is a wonderful feeling when you finally get what you want and deserve.

 

Last but not least, it seems that at least the Texas Service Center is working more or less okay.

 

Thanks again for the opportunity and wish you an expeditious approval of your case!

 

P.S. My timeline is updated.

I feel the same.. I hope April filers will update their timelines once approved, so we can hope for ours to be next 😊

We're May filers PD 22May, Potomac

 

Goodluck to everyone!
