Hello Folks, not so lucky, I got California SC, so the wait is on :(

Best of regards!

I’m sorry to hear that 😞 I hope it’ll be somewhat qick. Are you going to file I-129F as well so that your spouse - if approved - can await the I-130 approval in the US?

it’s free since you filed I-130 and are filing for your spouse.

Only our process fee has been processed but we put an Aussie phone number down, so I doubt they'd send a text to an Australian number! This wait is making us anxious and we've only just begun ahaha
