Today I received my petition approval by mail. On October 4 my RFE for the old form was received by CSC, I had quite a few touches since then but there is no update on the USCIS website and I didn't receive any emails since the RFE receipt. When I got home from work today, the hard copy was in the mail. The thing is that this process has been so frustrating I don't even know if I feel happy about it but I'm guess I'm that much closer to reaching the goal. Just for others who are crazy with the waiting......hope they sent out approvals for everyone on October 12!!
