Congratulations! Might not be a good idea to give case number and names on a public forum.

very true.......I hadnt even noticed.

smoedog
perhaps send administration (Captain Ewok) a PM and ask that they delete your personal details.

Congratulations!
It is what you think it is. If what you think it is is approval of your I-130 and an invite for your wife to apply for an immigrant visa.

gitty gitty goo

Now all i have to do is get her and my son a korean visa so she can fly back to korea and finish the process lol

I dont trust having the case transferred and her waiting 8 months longer in PI

Now when she goes to korea to file her packet 3 and do the interview, what reasons could they deny her for, since the 130 as already been approved. Im just trying to prepare for the worst case scenario.

lol, here's the list of ineligiblities:

Smart move keeping the case in Korea. Manila is so backed up it's not even funny.

Make sure she has some proof of your valid, ongoing marital relationship, current sufficient financials from you and clears her medical. Make sure she's got the right custody/clearance to bring the kidlet with her. Think positive thoughts.

Congrats again on the good news. Isn't it annoying that you'll never know *what* exactly got them moving on it?

Congratulations, Smoedog!

So by that list, if i was married to a person like that, I SHOULD be deported lol.

Pretty much all the paperwork is done, already has her medical done, ect ect. She just needs to get a korean background check, and I need to send her my 05 tax return.

AS far as what got them going who knows? Since April, I have had a senator and congressman's office talk to them, and about 2 weeks ago I seent off three more letters, 1 to a congressman and senator here in New Mexico and one to the Director of CIS. LOL, who knows maybe the director's office did something. At least it looks like i'll get to see them before i goto the desert

What does this mean, what does PTY mean?

Maybe PRIORITY?
