Hello my name is Gabriel and I´m from Panama. I´ve been looking this site and topic for months now as I´m also an I-130 CR1 September 2023 filler. I´ve been looking for guidance and moral support as we all do in this lengthy and stressful process. I´m married to USC. This are my dates: Filed: Sept 13, 2023. NOA1: Sept 23, 2023. NOA2 - 1-130 Approval: Nov 14, 2024. I wanted to share with you that today we were approved =), my wife received the Approval Notice in her USCIS account, after 14 months of submitting. We were expecting to wait like 15 months but what she did is that last week she wrote a letter to her senator/congress office from NY and local representative. Today she received a respond (EMAIL) from her senator office indicating that USCIS was still reviewing our case and that it was on the USCIS Brooklyn office. First our case was at Nebraska then in went to Brooklyn USCIS office apparently. Later in the day my wife received and email from USCIS indicating that "We have taken action on your case". I immediately told her to look in the document tab of her USCIS profile and there it was: I-130 Approval document 🤩 Surely writing to her congress office was a good help so I encourage you to write to your congress office representative or local representatives, it did help for us apparently. Finally: Don´t loose hope, have faith in the process because if your marriage is legit and based in mutual love then it will eventually be approved, love will prevail. Now onto the NVC process (consular processing). If you have any question I will gladly help you. Cheers🥳
