The waiting is hard, but its a necessary evil in this process. I too get discouraged when I see approvals in a month or so but then I read about those unfortunate souls who had to file at the California Service Center and I realize that my wait is not as bad or as long as it could have been.

I live with my fiance overseas but I am leaving for NY in 10 days and everyday she comes home from work she asks if we got approved. I tell her no and she gets misty eyed.

We filed February 8th. I keep telling her that we went into this thinking we wouldn't get approved until late May or June but with the VSC surge over the last month our hope rose. She wants to be approved before I leave... it is a comfort for her that things are moving along even though I am leaving.

It's bizarre because I got so stressed about it all, and it wasn't until I decided to take a step back and try NOT checking my emails/USCIS that I got the approval. It was a relief, but you do just move on to the next stage of stress! LOL. JUst be thankful that you were able to live with your SO whilst going through this..

indeed we are happy we can be together. I can't help but check cause I am in front of a computer all day and when there is nothing to do I space out and end up here at VJ or USCIS.gov.

75% of January filers here at VJ have been approved and it would more cause the remaining 25%, over half of them are inactive on VJ. People from late February who got their NOA1 in early March have been approved. It does sux watching people who file after you get approved. I know it will come... eventually

Enjoy your few days left there - especially the weather! I am about 2 hours north of you in New York and it is cold rainy/snowy here today. Bring spring with you when you come back!!!!

just saw on Igor's list Delaram & Alhan and Madeliene & Carl got approve today. congratulations to you and to all others who got approved and i missed.

Congratz to all who've been approved. Keep up the faith and the rest will get approved soon! VSC is quick though i'm still praying that CSC starts to hurry the heck up for everyone else.
