How did I miss this one ?? CONGRATULATIONS, Mari and Kadir !! :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Today, I got the text and checked my email. I think I stared at the USCIS "Post Decision" dot for 30 minutes in a trance. Wow what a feeling this is.... Now very nervous and anxious too. I have to Thank everyone of the VJ Family because without you while Kadir is working abroad without internet and limited fone signals, I think I would have gone crazy. Honestly. I really appreicate this Journey with you!

I'm looking forward to the next step and continued friendships I've made from all around the globe!

Love to you all,

Mari & Kadir too

I got my Approval this morning! Same as the OP, got a text saying to check USCIS. I knew I had signed up for Texts and Emails, so I quickly went to check my email. There, I saw the best thing to ever hit my inbox! It was basically the same email as the OP.

Hang in there my brothers and sisters whose cases are trapped in the abyss over at VSC... You're getting close! I had totally prepared myself to wait for another month, knowing some VSC-ers have been stuck for 6 plus months. So this was a total surprise. Just last night, I told my fiance that it look like they're doing mid-October and some Novembers are sneaking themselves into the stack. Well, now i can tell her, that ours was one of the Novembers that did just that!
