Well I know the month has barely started -- but we have all our petition ready to file first thing in the morning. :dance:

So let all of us December Filers share our journey here and lend each other support as we begin the new chapter of our lives.

From the trends it looks like the timelines are shortening...we are looking toward a April/May approval.

Hi Brian, Congrats firstly. To get notified of touches etc you need to register on the USCIS website. On the left hand side of the main page you click on check my status -- register there & add your file number to the portfolio...then you can track it online & opt for email & text notifications.
