I was approved May 22!!!! I got a touch on May 23rd. I called USCIS and they said it was still pending and they were working on November filers only(idiots). This time I called and keyed in that I got a RFE(I did not)and they connected me to the CSC and told me it was approved. The lady at CSC laughed when I told her the USCIS lady said they were only working on November filers.

I dont know if there is a direct number to the CSC but if not ,key in you got a RFE and you want to know what information they need and they will direct you to CSC where you can get some real answers. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

Congratulations on the NOA1 !! There's a long road ahead, and you're on your way(!).

FWIW - lots of good distractions, activities, friends and family, books, outtings, etc. will preserve your sanity through this very tough process. It's easy to spend time on VJ and respond to posts, but you'll see the pitfalls that many fall into, as a result. Keep your life full with people and activities to secure the balance you'll need for the roller coaster that follows.

God speed -

MM and MS
