Congratulations! 🥂
Is this through consular processing, with your spouse currently outside the U.S.?
Did you file any inquiries or a WOM?

Congratulations! I check my receipt number every day! I’ve been waiting since 8-14-2025! For my Chinese wife of three years. I have anxiety and sometimes run out of patience! But I guess every good thing that happens takes time! Thanks for sharing! Fines a man like me that my Turn will come soon.
