I129f Approved finally! Hooray!
Just want to let you all know the online case status is obviously not updated the exact time there is action taken, because I just found out yesterday that my husbands I129f had been approved on the 18, last Friday. 263 days total since we filed the petition. I had called the 800 center and got passed to an immigration officer and she looked up our case and found that it was approved. It's a good thing I decided to call again. I had just said goodnight to my husband and we were quite frustrated about the wait, so I decided to call once again and really make some noise this time!
I was shocked, and so happy to hear the news I had tears in my eyes! The immigration officer was so sweet, she said, "now, call your husband to let him know!"
It was 2am London time when I called him back, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep! He called me back at 3:30am! Poor hubby, thank God it is Friday so he could rest this weekend. I'm going to visit him for a couple weeks in July, as we have already booked a flight. It'll be so lovely to go see him in London before he comes here!

It is a relief! The delay was because we had the wrong kind of photo at first, but then sent the correct kind.
All the best to you too!

When originally assembling the petition, I thought it was clear that the photos of me and hubby together were ok because I asked the service 
specialist on the 800# for clarification, and she said our pics were ok. But obviously, there was some misunderstanding. 
They aren't kidding when they say a minor error could delay a case!Yes, we're so excited to see each other finally! It's been 6 months, way too long! Thank God he isn't at war! :PARTY:
