Great news everyone, USCIS Vermont Service Center (VSC) finally got it's act together and approved our I-129f Fiance Visa petition!!!!! :D

I don't know, if it's because I contacted an US Senator or what. However, like magic, 2 business days after filling out the appropriate paperwork for his office to take a look. Boom, we had approval! Only took 200 days after our NOA1...

Now it's on to the next steps.

Thanks everyone for all your support! Yay!!!!!! :thumbs:

Thanks and Enjoy,

Erik

If you didn't sign a form and fax/send it back to your Senator they did nothing and it was just your time to get reviewed. This is all a waiting game.

The 2 business day count was from when they received the privacy form I'd faxed back...
