this is not right

What's not right, Elbereth?!

Congrats Renatchi!!!!!!!! :thumbs: I wish you and your husband all of the luck in the world!!! Yes, it is unfortunate that there are some people that have waited a very long time for their approvals. But sometimes, people get very very lucky. God is watching down on you.

Now, we all have hope that maybe things are moving alot faster and the backlog of cases are over. Now I am hoping that maybe mine will get approved fast, I had touches on both of mine on 5-14.

P.S., on the USCIS website, did the status of you cases change, or do they still say "received and pending"? Because many people say that even after they receive their approvals that the website does not change. Just curious.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

I'm with you on that Elbereth.

It just is not right.

I am sorry to hear that, Elbereth. Of course I don't blame you for anything. You are completely right to complain and be pissed. I know I'd be too.

Honestly I never ever thought my case could be so fast. I even spoke to my husband yesterday and we were going to buy airline tickets for him to come to Brazil for Christmas ( we thought we wouldn't get an approval before December).

Catt, thank you for your support. I am also very happy but also very upset that I got it so fast and so many other people go several months of waiting. You are family just as me and my husband.

It is very very very unfair. I honestly thought "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS SO WRONG" and double checked the numbers and it was right.

USCIS is a weird thing.... :wacko:

Thank you Steve Y Jessica!

Hopefully you'll get an approval soon! Let's pray for that!

Exactly, cases are moving a lot faster now. A LOT of people from December, January, February and even March are being approved now. California SC is a lot faster too.

I am very sorry for everybody else who's not approved yet. Truly.

Yes, my status changed on the website.... it says I got approved on my I129F!

YAY!

Congratulations!!

I know how everyone feels ...... no matter what timeframe we get used to or the average time is... they re still so unpredictable coz i honestly think the ppl who handle our cases affect our process times depending on their mood... how they were feeling the morning they got to work... and what they had for breakfast..*sighs*...

I still wish everyone all the best esp Elbereth and jonless.... soon you ll get realllllllllly good news .. stay postitive and keep the faith!

OMG that was a stroke of luck - CONGRATULATIONS!!

I am soooo nervous! I don't know what to do next!

Sal and Jay, foreverido, jeca, Catt and o0pink0o and wifetobe, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT! I am starting to think it was a stroke of a LOT of luck! :P Maybe I am Irish! lol

I will read the guides and get an idea of what to do! But it says only what my hubby has to do. I don't know what I should do now, I mean, me here in Brazil.

I have been told that I need to take vaccines, do some exams, take a new passport, etc.... Ai ai ai!

I wasn't expecting this AT ALL! It's so wonderful and nerv wrecking all at once! We didn't do any expedite or anything! Just the regular process!

:blink:

Thank you guys!
