Maybe someone should pinch me?

Because I received my I-600 approval a few hours ago.  I had to read it multiple times to make sure it wasn’t a letter telling me they couldn’t completely investigate, as I simply could not believe it was an approval.  Sure enough, though, it says I can travel.  For those of you still waiting and desperate for any info (as I have been for months).  I submitted my I-600 in early January and had a log-in date of January 25th (although my approval has it noted as January 16th).  I do not have a referral from a blocked province.  If you count from CIS’ stated receipt date of January 16, I got my approval in exactly 90 days using the accounting method.  I’ve been told that my application was the subject of a field investigation.  That’s all I know.

I’m completely numb right now, I can’t even be excited just yet, since I keep thinking of all the other people waiting for just what I received who have been waiting so much longer than I did – not that 90 days is a short period.  I am so sad that so many others have to continue to wait day after day to receive a simple little email that will change their lives.  I’m just relieved I’m no longer in that group, as it is a horrible place to be.
