For the first time in 179 days I called USCIS, got the normal touch yesterday , and then a somewhat expected second one today, checked my e mail at 6:30 PST and there's an approval for my wife's I-130 :dance: :dance: :dance: !!!!!

It's just been approved in the past 3 hours, and now I'm hoping to see approval for my stepdaughter's I-130 and the I-129f for the K-3. What a nerve wracking experience this has been. Thank you God !!!!!!!!!!!

congatulations!!! :thumbs:

Congtrats you finally made it over the huge speed bump there. I should be easy sailing for now, at least until your family is together, but then comes AOS. I am not worried about AOS or any of that, as long as my wife is here safely. Good luck and hopefully I will be there in the NVC post within the week. B)

I don't know about everyone else, but I've felt a lot more at ease since CSC approved my paperwork. I've been a lot less frustrated since then. The time between NOA1 and NOA2 has gone off the charts recently to the point where I was wondering if they had lost my paperwork. But they didn't...and they won't lose anyone else's paperwork. It's just been taking an awfully long time. The time's been passing by a lot faster since I found out that the process is moving and that I will definitely be together with my wonderful wife soon. Patience is one of the most valuable assets a couple can have in this process. It makes everything a million times easier. Just concentrate on doing what you can to strengthen your relationship while you're apart and you'll have a stronger relationship than most when you are finally together for good.

Parachute, I'm guessing your I-129F approval will be coming soon too. I would expect about 3-4 weeks for the paperwork to get to NVC. Once they have it, things should move a lot more quickly. I'm guessing a week or two at NVC, then on to your embassy. Don't worry though because things are moving now!
