Congrats to all the recent approvals !!

I don't think VSC is doing anything lately, this is never going to end.. my hope is dying. How much more do we have to endure?

Thank you Urge and G&A. I called to confirm and yes, it is indeed sitting in the VSC. Sorry for the misinformation. I'm with Urge I have a feeling my CR1 is going to win out. I would like for it to anyway. I only hope since my I-130 was approved a little while ago the wait isn't toooo long for the interview. :rolleyes:

HIIII EVERYONE!!!!

GUESS WHAT!!! I HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOO HAPPY. I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT...MY I-130 WAS APPROVED ON OCTOBER 30TH.

The strange thing is that I did get a couple of touches a couple days earlier (see my signature), but I never got an approval email, and the USCIS website still shows pending....and today I got the NOA2 hard copy in the mail....

I am so excited. I will be calling tomorrow to check the status of my I-129F....

Thanks everyone for your support and motivation...and best of luck to all of you.

HIIII EVERYONE!!!!

I am so excited. I will be calling tomorrow to check the status of my I-129F....

Thanks everyone for your support and motivation...and best of luck to all of you.

DITTOOOOOO.... OMG... I am still in utter shock... WE GOT APPROVED for both: I-130 & K3. I came home from work in the evening and for a moment I couldn't believe that I actually had TWO mails from USCIS waiting for me...

Wow... Thanks a lot to the Almighty AND to all the VJers for their wishes, prayers, luck... I am sure it helped a great deal along the way... THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU... Its been a long almost 6 months...Nov 13th will mark 180 days since my I-130 receipt date...

My details are pretty much same as YGandMAT's... I saw three touches last week(please see my sig below) but no updates whatsoever on CRIS after that. As a matter of fact, I just checked it again like 10 mins ago and it STILL shows pending I-130/K3. OMG.. I still cant believe that I actually have TWO NOA2s in my hand right now..

Details:

Approved I130/K3: 10/30/07 (This is the Notice Date in NOA2)

Mailed out from CSC: 11/02/07(Friday - saw on USPS mailing envelope stamp)

Received at home: 11/05/07 (Monday) Much to my surprise because USCIS CRIS status still says pending.

Once again, I 'd like to say THANKS to ALL for their wishes and prayers. For the people who are still waiting, please hang in there. You will get your NOA2 soon... My best wishes and prayers are with u..Good Luck :thumbs:

Regards.
