I couldn’t help myself crying when I checked my e-mail this morning. It said that Approval Notice Sent. I finally got my NOA2. It’s a long process to get it. I’ve been waiting for 146 days since we sent out the application. And it’s been 140 days since we got the NOA1.

I was a little overconfident at the very beginning because everybody said that now CSC worked faster than before. So I believed that I would get NOA2 in no more than three months all the time. However, after I waited 3 months, there’s nothing new on my case, either a new update. I began to worry as if something’s wrong with my application. But Hodgie always comforted me and encouraged me to be a little more patient and confident.

Unfortunately, 4 months have been passed, and I still didn’t get anything new. I was really worried then. I asked Hodgie to call USCIS very often. But they couldn’t give us a satisfied answer. Instead, they told us that the only thing we could do was waiting, waiting and waiting.

Since my birthday Aug.16 is coming and I hope that NOA2 will be coming before my birthday, I started to call USCIS by myself. In the past two days, I tried several times calling USCIS at the number 800-375-5283, however, nobody answered. It took me more than half an hour to try this number every time, which made me go to bed until mid-night everyday. I was kind of desperate.

I’ve been informed that cases of CSC on March 26 were being processed. That almost drives me crazy. Even though Hodgie and also my parents have tried their best to calm me down every day, I couldn’t help myself being upset.

Today is really another good start. NOA2 means I’m really on the visa journey. It’s also my best birthday gift.

Nothing can stop me being happy today.

Congratulations!

USCIS is slow and can be really irritating, but that's the way it is.

I know what you feel.
