He said his petition was addressed from Overland Park Kansas, as far as we have seen that is the FIRST approval from that new office. It supposedly just opened this week, so hopefully that was only the first of many NOA2's coming within the next few weeks.

Its NOT an approval from Overland Park. He was confirming the address on his NOA1. So far... no approvals from Kansas.

My priority date is May 31 but I didn't get my NOA1 until Jun 4th....do I go by May or Jun? Thanks!

Congats to those who are getting their NOA2's.

No approval

ahh yes I see what I have done..... read about an approval in the Overland Park topic, then clicked on May to track it down and didn't seem to read enough details...

My fault

Simeon, I have heard no such thing, until reading your post!

Initial thought was, 'NBC hasn't even begun functioning how could there be a 'shutdown?' It's already 'shutdown!'

I don't know how true that is, however, I have googled and come across a recent article posted 5 days ago. Here's the link for inquiring minds.

As an update to this...

Citizenship and Immigration Services – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services continues to operate. Applications, forms, wait times, and more remain available online (except for E-Verify).

It looks like we're still OK. USCIS will remain open. This is due in part to the fact that our visa fees are funding the operation.

Are any of these NOA2s from Overland Park?

deltagal said the NOA2 was from Lee's Summit, doesn't know if the case was transferred to a local office. Not sure about Jmack yet, but I will report back if I do find out anything.

Oh my...sorry about the confusion, I didn't mean to get your hopes up. Hopefully it will get better soon!

No it's all good, I got a bit excited too... I think everyone did. We are all eagerly waiting for an NOA2 to come from Overland Park. I am very happy to hear the Gov't shutdown "shouldnt'" affect our petitions. So it must be soon!

[observatorka 197]

ofc it can not affect our petitions, we pay a lot of money for these petitions to be processed. period!

Hi everyone! I have been browsing this forum, but haven't posted yet. Also a May 2013 filer still waiting!

RE the govt shutdown - I got this little blurb off of CNN. 231k is the total # of workers, 199k is the # who will still be working, 31k is the # furloughed. So looks like we should be ok... hopefully. Good luck to everyone!

deltagal said her NOA1 is from Lees Summit. She said she didn't get her hard copy NOA2 yet to confirm where it was adjudicated...

The problem could be with Embassy's not issuing immigrant visas, but i guess by the time we reach to that stage , the shut down might be over.
