Sweet! Friday at 8:15PM I received an email saying that my I130 was approved and on the website it shows that it's in the post decision activity status. 216 days or 7 months and 1 day after my receipt date. Maybe fasting did make a difference.

Thought I'd add my 2 cents on this thread. They received the I-130 petition for my wife back in July 6th. In November I was a victim of the infamous California to Texas transfer. I called in December to see if they could expedite things since it was past the 5 month mark but they blew me off because we didnt have a medical excuse. I called again today and entered my receipt number and the recording said that I need to sit on my thumbs for 180 days after the November transfer before I should call back and then it ended the call. I called back again and didnt enter the receipt number so I could talk to someone and this time they acted like they might do something and gave me some service request number and told me to call back in 30 days if I didn't hear anything back from them.

On the USCIS web page it still shows that I'm in the initial review stage. Right now it's 199 days or 6 months and 16 days into this process. At this rate my wife might be in the states sometime in 2016.

Just wondering but did anyone else get 1 of those numbers when they called? Is this 16 char alphanumeric number something that I can track online?
