WOW WE GOT IT! GLORY! What a tremendous relief!! :dance::dance:

Really it has been ridiculous ever since I sent in the RFE – I’ve been checking USCIS site literally every few minutes – to see if anyone touched us. Suddenly just now 3 emails came in saying we had been approved – Yipee! Now I will be too busy gathering all paperwork and studying and reading and copying and organizing for the interview that I will have no time to worry about waiting for the NVC and foreign consulate to get on their tails (yah, sure).

Thanks all for the encouragement all this time! Best of luck for everyone else to get their NOA2’s FAST!!! :thumbs:
