Im a july08 filer and i want to tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel.....

Im sorry for keeping you in the dark :unsure: ........Remember the day i said that i was going to call the counsulate and see what happened at the interview?? Well as i was calling the counsulate my fiance was calling me on the phone. i answered and it was her telling me that she was in AP. Well on monday she gets a call from the counsualte to come for an appointment. she asked what should she bring and they say her passport. So naturally we are excited but nervous at the same time. She goes to the counsulate on wed. and they give her another interview. She says the interview was 45 min long :clock: . they asked her about me and my parents........everything was game, but she knows everything (even my social security number by heart ) so she answered all the questions well. Alhumduallah. After the interview the lady asked her for her passport and told her that they would call her in a few days. MY fiance asked " call me for what? " the lady smiled and said " your visa " my fiance said " really, sure, everything is ok " the lady responded " yes hen my fiance asked when will you call me? the lady said in about a week and my fiance left. Well well well......what a differnce 24 hours makes. she received a call on thursday (the next day after the second interview) from the counsualte and they told her to pick up her VISA TODAY!! I had to go to the office today and i wanted to leave early so i could be home to talk to her on the web cam, becasue i wanted to SEE the visa. But i had a stupid department meeting. When i got home i had her show me the visa and it finally hit me :idea: ......WE DID IT!! i did not want to post anything here until she had it in her hand.

I hope you all understand my abstance........right?? Forgive me?? :innocent:

So it's time to say goodbye :cry: to all my visa filling, noa2 waiting, stress filled, daily crying, heart aching, couch sittin, july08 filers. But...........i gotta go! :crying:(L)

Before i go for now. i want to leave you all with this:

The joy of getting your NOA2, Interview date, And your SO coming home to you....................PRICELE$$

I think you have 6 months to enter the USA and 90 days after you enter to get married. Beyond that I don't think it (NOA 2 date) matters. I vaguely remember reading something about having 6 months to file for AOS without being out of status to the point where you'll need a waiver. But, even if you did, you would get it. There are alot of people who write about waiting years to file for it and it seems like they turn out fine.

NOA 2. Really?

6 months for the visa date issue to use it, 90 days to get married, and you need NOA2 to adjust status. Do not throw it away.
