Thanks everyone for all the support. I´m not by far one of the oldest applications, nor one of the most complications, and yet you all come with such sweet words of support, even those who still haven´t got their approval.

I trully have all my thoughts on you guys and I can´t begin to express how you all touched me with special messages of congratulations. As soon as I get "home" (in PR) and have a computer at home again rest assured I´ll keep helping everyone the best way I can, ´cus I got so much help from you all, and will still need through the rest of this journey, which is far from over.

Thank you all!

Laura

To all of you .... :thumbs:

congrats you 2.....its about time....good luck on the rest of your journey....and a speedy one (F)

LISAF.....we also recieved another rfe.....it had to do with bills birth cert...he had one from the hospital, and they want the registered one from city hall.... :(

thanks for thinkin of me billsgirl! We should get the RFE today... interestingly, when we were ready to mail the petition, my Fiance's birth certificate was nowhere to be found ( we got the number off of a photocopy he had) so we ordered 2 duplicates at that time . when they arrived we sent off the petetiton...so I dont think its that...man Im so worried.. :(

please dont be worried...it could be the smallest thing...we were thinking maybe more evidence of relationship or a word put in the wrong place..lol...never thought about birth cert..as that is the one he has used all his life...so..as soon as you get rfe..correxct it...send it back..and from what i can see..doesnt take long to get noa2 after that...all the best to you :thumbs:

thanks :)

well the RFE was a noticification to have some sort of stamp put on my fiance's divorce papers. He will do it tomorrow and return it. Looks the "preliminary processing is already complete" is not quite what I thought it meant! Our NOA1 was april 25th, but they didn't seem to start on our case until the Imbra RFE was returned.

Everyone, I´ve been approved today. I can´t begin to express my happiness, but at the same time, I would like to leave a word to everyone going through the same thing.

It´s hard, it hurts, makes us crazy and depressed, it seems endless and unfair, and so many times I lost hope. Everyone says that when it comes it´s all worth it, and it is, but you can´t simply forget the sleepless nights, the jealousy that others got it faster, etc.

I wish this process had been a fair one, older petitions approved first, and my thoughts are with all of you that have been caught up in this mess and are now waiting longer than you are supposed to. My thoughts are with the recalled petitions, and those at CSC and NSC that have to put with slow processing.

I hope you´ll all hear something soon, ´cus it´s unbelievable when you actually read those little words on the screen (this case has been approved).

To all of you .... :thumbs:
