So I had this dream last night I was checking the USCIS website and there was a touch but I couldn't read the details. I was excited but a little worried I didn't know whether it was an approval or RFE (heaven forbid a flat out denial if that happens). The whole thing was VERY real.

So real to the point I almost checked my status this morning but I figured it's a Sunday, I'll give it until Monday. I had already accepted it was just a dream. But I did check my email and....

APPROVAL!!!

I received an email at 9:45 saying my case had been approved and a notice mailed 8/24.

I couldn't believe it. And what's with the dream! I double checked on the USCIS website and sure enough, approval Friday with an update of this morning. I think I caught some good mojo coming out and saying hi last week. Thanks guys!

I'm reeling. It feels great to be through with that part and one step closer to making the dream a reality. Best of luck to the rest of my fellow May filers. Please beat my 117 days!

I just did something I'm now regretting. I went online to USCIS and submitted a change of address, as I moved into my new house this weekend. As soon as I hit the "SEND" button, I was hit with a wave of "What if this delays my approval even longer?" I'm SO close... 103 days in. Maybe I just should've waited until I got the coveted approval and THEN sent my change of addy. Water under the bridge now, as I've done it. I remember when we sent our petition in, the average waiting time was between 87 and 91 days for approval. It's just horrible that this drags out for so very long. I'll be UNHAPPY if I've just done something to cause an even LONGER delay in the process.

Oh don't worry, I think you did the right thing. I think if you hadn't updated your address it could have delayed things. When they get to our cases they probably verify everything, including our addresses, so it's best to give them the most up-to-date information. Besides, you want to get that hardcopy of your NOA2 as soon as possible! You don't want it being sent to the wrong place! Keep the faith that everything will be just fine. We are all so close now to approval, I can feel it!!! I think this will be our week guys! It's the last week of the month and I bet they will be working extra hard to get more petitions approved. Keep up those good vibes!!!

*hugs* Sienna, I think you did the right thing, they need to know how to get in touch with you when you get approved so I think if you hadn't told them right away it might have delayed things. If it makes you feel better you could call them and ask them if they received your change of address and if there is anythng further you need to do.

I am all about VIBES I hope you get some good news very soon!

Ever Hopeful,

Annette

Thanks for the reassurance, guys! I appreciate it. I know you're right. I'm just in DESPERATION mode at this point where I worry about every little thing. lol. But yes, as it's the end of the month, we have to hope they'll give it a big PUSH.... especially since Monday is a holiday!! It would be wonderful to see loads more approvals this week. It's only Monday... still plenty of time for a rush of NOA2's!!!

Since we all are going to be approved very very very soon, I just have a couple questions on some documents that I will have to bring to the interview with me.

Pat had sent me a copy of his last 3 years tax returns, I-134 affidavit of support, this paper Affidavit of meeting of fiance/fiancee and Bona Fide Intention to Marry Fiance/Fiancee notarized and that's all I have. He haven't sent me any pay stubbs since he does direct deposit but he did send two or three to our lawyer and I guess that was for USCIS. One more thing, he couldn't get letter of employer since he works for New York City and doesn't have any idea where to get this, so we asked our lawyer and he said that with the pay stubbs and tax returns was fine.

My question is....Do I really need to bring a letter of employer to the interview....????

And as far as the pay stubbs I told him to find at least 2 pays stubbs so I can take them to the interview because he gave the original ones he found (I think) to the lawyer....

Btw, we also have tons of pics together (already printed them), proof of mail that I used to get when we were living together in N.Y, don't have my airline tickets because I never thought we were going to do this process but I think that with my passport is more than enough...or not? I have printed his airline ticket when he came to visit me, hotel bills under our names.

E-mails....well, that's then thing..it seems that everybody takes e-mails but to tell you the truth....I was the one who created him an email account that he almost never use, when I met him and found out he didn't have an email I thought he was from another planet, haha, anyways, so no emails (not a computer guy) and we talk on the phone but use calling cards and I never saved one, neither he did. Letters....well...not one, I think I sent him one for his birthday last year, not sure (not really happy times)

As I said before, we never knew we were going to do this process...

Any help????
