When you have the paper version of the NOA2..then you can start the celebration.

********************************************************************************

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Well hot dang PortlandAngel this is GREAT news. I love to see it and I'm supper excited for you! Trust that that is the approval. I didn't get the paper copy in the mail for a couple of weeks but I celebrated non the less with the email and online confirmation. Enjoy this and don't let anyone stop your joy.

By the way, now the real work begins. Paperwork is nothing. Tell your SO to get shoes ready for some running around ;) and keep cash for little expenses that will surely pop up along the way. :thumbs:

Again Congratulation on such a speedy approval!

Wakey

Intimacy, like charity, begins at home. If we cannot be intimate with ourselves, we have no way to bring to intimacy with another person.

Intimacy with ourselves takes time. We need time for rest, time for walks, time for quiet, and time to tune into to ourselves. We cannot completely fill up our lives with activities and become intimate with ourselves. Nor can we just sit quietly indefinitely and become intimate with ourselves. We have to have the time and energy to be our lives and to do our live in order to establish and intimate relationship with ourselves.

Surprisingly, as we become intimate with ourselves, we discover our connection with others

Intimacy....In/to/me/see...

I'm starting to really hate you september VSC filers, with your ridiculously fast noa2's! This is the second time for september someone has gotten a noa2 really fast without an expedite (that I know of anyway). There has to be something screwy going on with how they are processing applications, possibly even a change. Could they have hired a bunch of new, temp people to handle the incoming petitions while the backlog is being caught up or something?

I'll go ahead and admit I'm just jealous, not that it's obvious or anything... I'll be happy to be one of the normal ones who only have to wait about 5 months and not get stuck in some FBI name check for a year and a half...

I guess that makes this a new record? I can't imagine anyone else has had faster processing, it really does make me wonder what's going on there that some people are getting approved so far out of order.

As far as I know I'm just going to be a typical application that takes a typical amount of time, so I don't have it so bad yet (I mean sure it sucks... but it's not outside of the posted processing times kind of sucky). I would pay a slightly unreasonable fee to be placed at the front of the queue for processing... I'm not sure what that amount actually is, the service centers would just have to try me by posting some amount to do that and see what happens haha (honestly... I think what happens is a huge pay raise because I think almost everyone who knows the processing times would do it, so it's like raising the fees without any drama).
