January 2015 IR-1/CR-1(I130) @TSC

[e-square12 4]

Watching a movie with my wife through video chat, heard my phone ring (email)... USCIS approved my I-130! I still can't believe it.

NOA1 1/14/15

NOA2 6/12/15 (2 days short of the 5 month mark)

NOTE: I called the USCIS today at 5:20pm to inquire about my case as my 5 month mark was on Sunday and they would not be working my case over the weekend. I was very polite even though I got the same canned response from the agent on the phone... "You need to wait until Monday to call back". I think she even felt sorry for me - I was frustrated after hearing about the possible service request (15-30 more days after the deadline). Could not get an update on the processing status/date for TSC but it appears they are not behind, just running close to the 5 month deadline.

I really hope that all of you that are still waiting get your approvals soon so we can all share the joy of completing this step. It is though, but hang in there - good luck!
