Hey guys!

I've been trying to look for a thread that has the October 2014 filer for the I-130! And I couldn't find it.. so let me start and it would be nice if you guys could be part of this thread so we can all worry, be happy and anxiously wait for our petitions to get approved together!

If there's already a thread and I happened to miss it I apologize. :D I would be glad to be redirected to it. :D

Just sent the I-130 Petition today, October 16!

Fingers crossed this won't be a super long wait!

Very happy for those who get approved so quick but is a lil unfair how many people have to wait months to get approved.

We filed at the beginning of the month through the Chicago office. It took about a week but it was received and approved and is now on its way to the California office.

I pray this is a short wait for us all!

We'll have to see about that. :) There have been fast approvals recently, but you never know since the auto-expedite is not an official rule, only an unofficial, inconsistent practice. However, let's hope everyone posting in this topic gets a speedy process!

We'd like to be able to move to the US next summer, since our eldest child will be starting school next fall. This may or may not happen, but mostly it will not depend on us, so we'll just have to be patient and adjust the plan if needed. :)

Good luck to everyone!
