Hey guys,

 

I hope you are doing well. I am also a January 2018 filer. I am filing for my wife who lives in India. I am a US Citizen. I sent my I-130 Application to the Chicago Lockbox on January 24th. The Application was received on January 26th. I am now waiting for an email/SMS acceptance. I am hoping for the best. Good luck to you guys too!
