Just checked the USCIS website and had to call them to confirm, but my petition was approved on March 27. Finally onto the next step! My NOA1 was dated Nov 14 from the CSC.

Good luck to the other filers still waiting!

Congrats to you all November filers getting your NOA 2! Excitement in the air!

I remember starting this journey back in November and spending SO MUCH time on Visa Journey but it has helped more than I imagined! The process has been smooth sailing and we just received packet 3 & packet 4 with an interview date scheduled for May 14th! Just so unbelievable my fiance could have his visa before June (we were thinking June, latest July). Took about only 6 months! Thanks to VJ and all the helpful information! So grateful! If any of you all have questions on what to do after NOA 2 has been received don't hesitate to PM me for tips!
