Talked to Jack today, he is going to get in contact with his congressman and see if we can speed up stuff.

I am aware of the fact that we are not at the 6 month yet, but I have seen two people now who got their NOA1 at the same date as us now, getting approved after contacting theirs.

So we are going to try it.

I have to say, it is mainly because we would like my son to start school at the same time as his class mates after summer.

maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't, we'll see.

In the mean time, Jacks stepson got married yesterday.

Really hated not being there, both kids are so supportive of us getting together.

Saw pictures though and hope the two f them and the baby will be there at our wedding.

Which we today decided will be in Cape May, NJ.

Hey all,

Hope you are doing well!

Peet, how did the call with the congressman go?

Ok, yesterday my husband and I, we both called military helpline after a tip from an army wife... well they weren't really helpful at all!

So I was really sad about it, because i hoped so much that they could help, they weren't helpful to answer a question either!

But well that army wife, just called and didn't need to do a whole lot, just a talk and they got an expedite! So i was just hoping to much that we could do the same!

BUT

Today I checked our case at USCIS.gov website and its saying: last update: 05/26/2009 so is that a touch? Did our call help?

I hope so!

Take care!

I hope so!

Back in January, I checked my case status online and saw that I saw a touch -- but it ended up being the approval. Not to get your hopes up, but maybe you got yours! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's good news. :D

:dance: :dance: We got it! :dance: :dance:
Many congratulations! The journey is definitely going to go a lot faster now. I hope everything goes wonderfully.

The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death,

So I'll give you a sec to catch your breath.

Thanks all, it is such a relief to finally have this.

Until now there was a constant fear that we would be on a hold, for who knows how long, but now things are rolling again.

Ri, I am sorry, I was so exited, I missed your question, but yes, that is a touch.

So at least you know now they took a look at your case.

Which can't be bad...
