Thanks for your words. We all need this kind of support.

 

BTW, your case moved really fast according to your timeline!

 

It moved quite quick,but it has to do with the country she is from.

As well as being super prepared.

It's a joy to continuously hear about all the application approvals.   Doesn't matter if Potomac represents you,  Texas, California etc., at the end of the day we all have one thing in common..... And

Good news here! We got an Approval Notice on the mail today. On the USCIS website, it still says Case Received. My NOA1 is April 18th (TSC).

Its not too bad for all of them,there is a list of really hard countries to come from though. Those countries have an extremely high decline rate.

You are not one of those.

Yes, I know what you mean, like Nigeria, Yemen, or Ghana right?

I know Venezuela is not a high fraud country, but at some point IDK how the current political and social inestability could affect the U.S embassy performance. 

An example is how since May of 2016 they stopped the process for new applications for B1/B2 visas.

I understand but luckily the embassy only affects the last thing you need to do.

You should be a-ok.

We filed For I-130 in the 7th of April .. we received the I-797 today the 24th of April /17days ! Eating for the approval ! How long it should take !?

Approval times really depends on what service center and if you get any RFE's. You can go to the USCIS website and it will give you approximate approval times (but I've heard it's not as up to date)  you can also filter through timelines on this site and get some estimates. I'm hoping that some of us April filers will see approvals starting in August... but i don't know if that's wishful thinking or not
