We're approved.... FINALLY! Praying for a speedy NVC stage.

Wow, quite the middle finger to give to all of us waiting for months for them to say "yes" or "no" to apply for a visa.

"USCIS awarded customer service award "
You couldn't make it up. What's next, Syrian president gets Nobel Peace Prize?

They asked for the original copy of our marriage certificate. They claimed to have only received the translation which isn't true. I guess they lost it when my file moved to the CSC. They also asked for more evidence which I guess they lost as well since they claimed that I only submitted a copy of my marriage certificate (I'm guessing they meant the translation of the copy)...
I sent in another copy of the marriage certificate. I also sent in some wedding photos (again), my airline tickets used to visit Indonesia as well as the Visa receipts and also about 40 odd pages of chat records. (I took screen shots of my phone with the chat application open incase they claimed that the transcripts of the chat weren't proper proof).

I guess with extenuating circumstances (the fact you need your husband to care for you) would enable you to expedite the I-130, however that doesn't mean he can stay beyond the 90 VWP limit. I think the Adjustment of Status sounds the best option, but from what I understand you need to be clear that he was always planning on leaving prior to the 25th Feb, but the circumstances have change (you need care) so you should make this clear that he didn't arrive in the US with INTENT to stay, but instead came to visit and the circumstances dictate he now needs to stay.
He will also need to be careful about claiming he has no job, no place to live etc in his home country. When I travelled to the states on the VWP after the I-130 was filed I had to explain to secondary inspection at the airport that I still had a life back in the UK. Obviously if he's not leaving the states he's unlikely to be asked that, but it's better to be prepared, perhaps showing that he (and you) have finances so he was able to give up his p/t job to come out and visit you, and that he was to be staying with friends or family in his home country while he was awaiting for approval or denial.

Please let me know if I am missing anyone on July spreadsheet, if there's any I left out with NOA1 in July.... Also we had a lot of transfers about a week ago, so if you all have gotten the notices stating where your case was transferred, please let me know and I will update it on spreadsheet.
Good Luck to everyone..
