We're in the same boat Geminibella!!! How frustrating, eh! :(
There isn't much we can do, though... Just keep waiting and living on hold.
Yes unfortunetly. I already bought my ticket to go to Lebanon on july 4th and coming back august 2nd.. Would be REALLY REALLY REALLY DEVASTATING to come back on my own :-(

By then it would have been almost 8 months that they have had our file.. Such a sad story and super hard to stay positive honestly !:-(

JMA - It means exactly that. They are reviewing your file - Background check, Relationship Validity etc. Hard to say what part of the process they are at.

Man, not much has changed on our front. The latest update we have is that they received my wife's online form submission explaining that she sent in the legal document to say that she has legal custody over her son and that that submission was sent to the appropriate people for further investigation. That was in February. It's super frustrating that we haven't even heard a peep since then. For all we know, it's been lost in the shuffle and forgotten about. It would be nice if we could talk to someone. Give me something.
