OMG!!!! I'm dancing around like crazy over here. I just checked my status online w/o logging in...well actually going down the different numbers and when I got to mine (ending in 7) it said "On January 31, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)." At first I didn't even realize that it was MY number...then I logged in and sure enough the last update was today. I clicked through again and saw those same words!!! No text or email (yet). OMG!!! I just said to FH last night, if we get approved tomorrow, we can plan out everything with no worries, because he wants to get married on our first anniversary (March 5). I am soooooo amped right now. Happy that we can finally move to the next step. :dance:
