CONGRATULATIONS Pkewl, YG&Mat, and all others who have gotten their approvals this week. My timeline is similar to yours Pkewl, so hopefully my approval will be coming this week. I have gotten no touches since August, but from what I am seeing, they are not updating their computers. I may give a call though just to see what is happening with mine. Again, congrats to all approvals!!!!!

Deb

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.

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.

They say I am under "additional security checks".. I looked it up, and it is background check based on the petitioner..

that is totally wrong.. are these "security checks" spot checks on people? Some people get it , some people don't?? Even people who applied after me got approved already (even from the same country -- China --)... "iray" congrats on your approval.. he applied after me though and didn't get any security checks..

I WORK FOR THE #%w)%#%)( GOVERNMENT ALREADY!!! What kind of security checks do you need, you FREAKING people?? I already had background checks done when I got the job.. also background (financial) checks when I apply for credit cards... :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: I don't have a criminal background (but I will, if you guys don't hurry it up).. who cares if I get deported?? At least I will be with my wife =0 what is good about being a US Citizen compared to the H1B/H2B Temporary workers who aren't Citizens or Permanent Residents?

THANKS A LOT to all for your best wishes, prayers and luck. I am sure they have helped along this long wait for getting my NOA2... I am really swamped at work right now so I 'll have to keep this one short... but I will try to login this evening and read all of your wonderful comments again with more time....

I probably wont be able to recall all the VJers who wished me luck but I will try my best. Apologies if I miss anyone. Please excuse me.

Thanks, Urge, edp333, Kelly1920, DivineMercy, C & J, davjaz, Torito baby, My Honey, gogo, chinemeze, JohnWendy, grrrrlygrrrly...and G&A for quite a bit of his time in maintaining the xls sheet.... THANKS A LOT TO ALL AGAIN... Even after a whole night, I m still under little shock...

Gogo, My Honey, JohnWendy and all others waiting.... Please hang in there... You (and all other VJers's waiting) all are in my prayers... Having gone thru it personally, I know its hard to wait but please keep the faith... Good Luck. :thumbs:
