I'm getting antsy, waiting for my NOA2!

Has anyone else gotten one from the VSC (I see that people have filed after me and gotten approvals, but not sure what service center they're coming from???)

Our personal timeline:

August 31st, 2006: Met in New York on a blind date

April, 2007: serious discussions about marriage

May 2007: Bilal graduated from NYU, ending his Fulbright scholarship

May 2007: notice that he had to return to Pakistan for 2 years (J visa HRR)

May 2007: Sara left town for business; last time we saw each other for 10 months

June 1st, 2007: Bilal went to Pakistan

Thanksgiving Day 2007: Sara and Bilal became officially engaged over the phone; Sara converted to Islam

March 07th, 2008: Nikaah Nama in Lahore, Pakistan

March 15th, 2008: last time Bilal and Sara saw each other

May 17th, 2008: I-130 sent to Chicago

June 3rd, 2008: hard copy of NOA1 sent from VSC

June 5th, 2008: hard copy of NOA1 received in NYC

Does anyone know how to contact the California Service Center? Do we just call the USCIS customer service number (1-800-375-5283) or is there a direct number to them?

I'm pretty sure you have to go through the USCIS number...but it's worth calling them and finding out.

You gettin' antsy too?

I think we're ALL gettin' antsy.

Keep the faith, stay the course.
