Dear all,

I am very happy we finally got our NOA2 today!!!

It´s a great feeling !!! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

I don´t really post a lot here. But when I got the Approval notice today I decided to come here to post because I know how great we feel when we are waiting for an aproval and we see people being aproved. Specially in Vermont!!

I want to wish you all good luck and patience.

I know it is not easy to wait... (believe me, I waited almost 5 months for NOA2) But I am sure you are going to get yours soon!!

I wish you all that are waiting good luck!!!!!!

May god bless all of you!!!

Carolina

Dear Father fill my heart with hope and let this hope radiate to others. Amen

Congratulations Kaye!

Told you I had a really good feeling about today. Now I know that it was because it is your turn! This is exciting as we watch approvals happening all around. For some reason, I have a feeling more good news is on the way very soon.

All the best to everyone wherever you may be.

Don't worry your approval DavChels is also on its way i'm sure. Lately you have been active to this october thread and made it lively :thumbs: . I also found this site after doing all the paper works for our I-129F. I am the beneficiary but at the same time was the one who filled up all the forms that had to be submitted. all my fiance did was to sign the forms and include the copies of whatever was needed like the copy of his naturalization and other stuff. He wanted me to fix the documents for him coz he was saying i wasn't working and to keep myself busy by doing the paper works which he said i was good at doing those things better than him. I found this site after sending the finnished docs to my fiance and for him to sign then send to vermont. Now i know my hard work payed off hahahaha! goodluck to everyone!

Thanks! I hope I didn't sound whiney like "I wish someone would acknowledge me" lol, I was just saying that I truly wish I had found this forum earlier, it has been very helpful. In fact, I bought a book specifically for Fiance and Marriage Visas and it did not specifically mention that there had to be a letter of intent signed by both parties so I did not include that in my package. I am afraid I will get an RFE, and then be one of those couples who sends the RFE back and then has to wait for another couple months to hear anything back whereas if I had just included what they wanted in the first place I would have been approved. But we'll see. I have read that sometimes they will overlook this part as long as everything else is met - I guess we'll just have to see!

I had to fill out all the documents because my fiance doesn't speak English. He just signed it and trusted me :) Good think trust is so much a part of love :D

Either way, let's keep these approvals rolling! Hopefully they'll keep like they're doing - mostly Octobers, but not leaving too many Septembers behind. I really wish there was a way you could delete the timelines of people who haven't signed on in 2 or 3 months. I asked Captain Ewok about that but I don't see anything updated recently. Any ideas? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry2587858

I bought a book too called Moving to the United States of America and Immigration. The sections on living in the US like taxes and buying a home were somewhat useful but all the immigration stuff is the same as what I found out here. I even went to an emigrate show and it was a total waste as there was one stall on family immigration, all the others were work based.
