So, I was sitting getting ready for work this morning when I received an e-mail notification on my phone. I just glanced at it and then grabbed my phone when I saw it was from USCIS. It was the e-mail I had been waiting for ! We were approved !!!!!!!

I am so thankful that this part is over ! On to the NVC and praying that the rest of the process will be over quickly.

Good luck to everyone still waiting for their approval. Keep the faith !

Congratulations!!! I can't wait for the day I get that email =P I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for you both as well - keep us posted!

My wife's petition was received Nov 16th and sent to the NSC. Checking the estimated times on a regular basis, and (if my calculations are correct), it should be approved by late May and everything else approved by the end of August. So long to keep going, but yay bureaucracy.

EDIT - I just saw from your original post that you were sent to the NSC as well. But on the estimate of times, as of 2/11 they were still processing August I-130's. Did yours get expedited?

I don't know,..but I think so. I think they need everything in the "correct" order, or they get confused :rofl:

And there's also the AOS fee to pay,.. I guess we just need to wait patiently.

So why is there some November filers being approved?

They could be filing from the US.. doing both I-130 and 485 at the same time.. just guessing,.. I really don't know. Or maybe the petitions are expedited for some reason.

I also notice that to, but that's kind of weird that they are skipping all over the place and approving January and February petition as well.
