Not quite the last man standing, the survey that this thread was created for still has:

faith11, Almoto, Alan01, huhtaman as unapproved March filers. Unless some of them got approved and I missed it. If so sorry for missing it and congrats to them :thumbs:

Looks like I'm the last man standing. A dubious honor. Congratulations to everyone. We've been told by USCIS that our file is out of extended review and will be adjudicated this month... Married 11 years, 2 citizen children...

I hope that the CSC comes through for you very soon Alan. Families need to be together a lot quicker than what the time frame is now. I think you are the last of the March filers. I also have my stepdaughters I-130 to be approved ,just like Zolanden, but I'm hoping it's just a procedural thing ( and will be adjudicated when I file for AOS ) since she's listed on the I-129 as a minor ,and I have requested a K4 visa for her.

Congratulations to those March filers who just got approved. There are only a few of us left and I'm holding my breath that we get approved before the end of this month. Next Tuesday 25th will be my 6 month date. I was going to give them a call but I thought better to wait until next week.

I visited my husband in England last week, it was my third visit this year and it was the hardest on me to come back home this time. I've been so depressed this week, I've got to shake this feeling off. I really thought we'd be further along by now. But, I understand it takes as long as it takes & there's nothing I can do about it.

Hang in there Marchers!!

Hi Almoto, l am Faith11. l hope you had enjoyed your visit in England

l am sorry to hear that you are feeling so sad, don´t worry my dear soon you´ll see it that you are expecting.

We have about the same timeline, our l-130 was sent on march 21 and it was received on march 30.

l underestand and l know how frustating this process has been but l know it will happen soon.

Let´s keep praying for our approvals so we can be with our husbands soon and forever.
