Well I got home from work and checked my email and I found this;

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On March 4, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I was really surprised since I wasn't expecting to get approved until the middle to end of March. So now I am off to fill in my timeline and phone my Fiancee. She will be really surprised and excited!

Also Congrats to all who were approved as well in the last few days.

I just want to say that even though we are approved I can empathize

with you and all the other october filers not yet approved about being

an emotional wreck (F)

This K1 experience has been the most intense emotional roller coaster

of my life. Everyday is an uphill battle, alone, away from our SO's :cry:

I hope everyone still waiting gets approved as soon as possible!!!

Just want to make sure I have this right.

I need to call nvc at that 603 number with our EAC# and both our birth dates to make sure info was received in London. And to get the case number so he can get his medical appointment.

Is this the next thing I need to do?

Congrats to everyone else who has gotten their NOA2. :thumbs:

The NVC number will tell you if it has arrived to and left from NVC yet. They will give you a new case # starting with LND (if I remember reading correctly - mine started with GTM as it went to Guatemala City). When they tell you the date it has left, you can track it using the info I copied that's at the bottom of page 87 of this October forum. Then you can start contacting the London embassy to find out info for packet 3 (or 4 if London doesn't issue a packet 3). For Guatemala you have to have your interview letter in hand to take to the medical, so double check the rules for UK before you schedule your medical. Check out the Embassy Info at the top for UK if you haven't already, lots of good information specific to the country!

I saw that...I wonder when they will fix it? I called NVC today and they received my case on the 3rd of March! That was so fast. They gave me my new case number and told me to call next Mon or Tues to check the status. The women said they usually only have it a week. I am so excited about how fast this seems to be happening. I emailed the embassy here earlier this week and she replied in 30 mins and she was very nice. I looked into Spirit airlines and we may fly to FLL and then get a Delta flight to Boston. How are you doing? How's Josue?

Thanks for the info.

Called the 603 number won't give me any info until I had the NOA2 letter in my hand. I have only had the email, so I have to wait until I get the official letter.

More waiting I guess.

That is strange. All they asked me was for my name, DOB and Balvino's full name and DOB and the case number. Then they gave me my new case number and the update. I pushed # 2 in the call loop.
