The power of prayer and belief is at work here, we prayed for the rain of approvals today, its only 5am PST and its raining very hard with approvals. Keep the faith, Stay Positive. 

AMEN! all one needs is the faith of a mustard seed!

[Lucy&Jason 807]

So happy seeing that it rained approvals this week. Wishing for us that’s still waiting for approval, that it will be soon. 

 

Tic tac tic tac tic tac.... clock is still ticking on us... but it’s about to stop and we will be receiving our approvals tomorrow when we get up.

And with that little faith, you can move mountains. i know you are close to receiving your approval. Call them today, be nice, patient with the agent, as they say you get more with honey than vinegar. If the agent does try to give you the standard, oh you are within 7 months, please dont argue, just hang up, call again and get someone who will help you, and understands that this journey is not an easy one and is willing to go the extra mile to help you.

Hi there!  Congratulations on your approval!  We also got an RFE,  same dates as yours (receive and sent) ..but we haven't receive our NOA2 yet

 

Mind to share your RFE requirement?  Ours is IMBRA...  

 

 

We just missed a tick box on the i-129F form. It makes it look like it’s a follow on from a question that was irrelevant to us so unfortunately missed that question. 

 

I’m assuming since it was something as simple as that it didn’t take long for them to go through and approve it when they received it back. 

 

Hope you get yours soon!

Hi guys. Called like you said and they filed a service request. Said it would take 15-30 days and gave me a ref number. I’m on day 211 today. That’s it.

it might not take up to 15 days, if i were you and i didnt get approved by next week, i would call them next week to check on the status of the service request.

Ahhhh, so excited! WE'RE APPROVED! :D: D 

 

After refreshing the new website incessantly for the last couple of days as people all around and after my date (24th old site, 29th new site) posted their approvals, I thought I might as well give them a call and just see if the website hadn't updated for us. I was particularly worried about getting an RFE as I'm living abroad and the extra mailing time might make it hard to get everything taken care of by the deadline or what have you.

 

Anyhow, with one earbud in my ear and the other in my fiancé's, I called them up and was connected very quickly to a friendly CSR. After answering his security questions, he told us that the last change on the case was that the address was updated yesterday. My ears immediately perked up, as I remember from the scan days that that often signaled an approval the following day. Then he was like, wait, actually, your case has been approved! 

 

I'll update my timeline now, assuming the approval notice will be dated for the 9th, and will revise later if that turns out not to be the case. There's still nothing on the website, but I'm assuming it will be updated in a day or so. Good luck and lots of good vibes to everyone still waiting... here's hoping all the rest are just around the corner! 

 

Now excuse us while we go back to dancing around our living room...
