CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! :D feels great doesnt it? hehe everything will go much faster right now :)

Thank you. :) Yes it does. I am still so excited. I am kinda confused with whats next. :) I mean I read all the guides and so on but it seems pointless untill we get a word from the NVC. There are so many people stuck there so its better to wait with issuing the documents. :) It seems like Bulgarian embassy its not very busy so pretty much as soon as I receive packet 3 I can set an interview date :) But lets not get so far ahead. We still have another opsatcle on the way called the NVC. Keeping fingers crossed.

I can't believe that there is a chance of May wedding :))))))))

Sounds like a pass to me!!!!! Congratulations. And I hope everything goes smoothly for rich.....Dave had a great day yesterday...he was so bright and bushy tailed when I spoke to him last night. It's been hard....he was out of work 6 months!!!! There is light at the end of the tunnel now :) and a visa to get :)

Yeah, I wasnt suppose to open the envelope but when I looked at it the lady didnt do a good job sealing it as it was BARELY sealed. I managed to give it a careful quick flick :whistle: and it doesnt even look opened at all! i had a glance over it and everything seems fine..I put it back and made sure it was tightly sealed and ready to be send off with the other docs lol...

Great to hear about Dave enjoying his new job. I can imagine it being a great feeling after being out of work for that long! Next is definitely the visa for you guys!

Congrats MzMo. It sounds like everything was ok. Next pass: interview :) Good luck to your fiancee with finding a job.

Congrats to you too Ellie. Its good to hear that David found a job. It has been pretty hard for everyone in the US with the employment.

Thanks!!!! Yes, hope all goes well..and

CONGRATULATIONS on the NOA2!!!!!!! start obtaining your police certificate while ur waiting. Its a good start since it can take a while for them to send it to you.

Hello everyone. Thank you so much for the congratulations. Yes I am going to start gather the nesessary documents for the interview but I am really not worried about it. Our version of the police certificat is actually a document from the court and signed by judge that I haven't been arrested nor i have any criminal activities or investigations going on my name. It only takes a few days for it to be issued and then another day for the translation so it will be very fast. I am going to wait for the NVC to confirm that our case has been forwarded to the embassy and I will do all that. The evidence are pretty much ready so there isn't too many things to do now other than waitng (again). Our embassy is not very busy so for what i've read i might schedule an interview as soon as i get packet 3. (yay) I can't even do the medical because they want to schedule the interview first so the medical can be in the last days before the interview.

If everything goes ok we are going to try the wedding to be somewhere in May so we can file for AOS/EAD/AP right after that. I kinda need the AP because my sister wedding is planned for September and I am the maid of honor. :) For what i've heard AP can take up to 3 months so we don't want to risk it.

I do have some questions about the documents needed to get married. I do have my birth cerificat translated and with apostile on it. Should I leave the original translation or I can just give them a copy. I am concerned because to obtain apostile is very expensive and long process and i was wondering if i should make a couple more just in case.

Good luck for all of you still waiting. Believe me I know how nervous you are but hang in there. It will happen.

Kevin how is China?

Congrats to all November filers who've been approved!!!

:angry: on behalf of all those who've been passed over as they have begun approving those with Dec NOA1 dates!

Isn't it frustrating? Are we sure that not having our case status available online doesn't have anything to do with it? Anyone see a pattern--was it all the files they received during one week which weren't able to be entered in the online system? Is there anyone who received an NOA1 between 11/03-11/07 who has a receipt number which can be found on the online system?

I-129F Sent : 2008-10-28

I-129F NOA1 : 2008-11-04

Online case status working (finally can view case status online, says pending): 2009-03-30

NOA2 : 2009-03-30

NOA2 Visible Online : 2009-03-31

Sent from NVC to US Embassy in Guatemala: 2009-04-03

Hang in there Sun Tiger...Some August filers were only approved last week so it was even more frustrating for them. I wasnt able to check my case status online either but was given the NOA2 after..109 days (something like that)..it just all depends on who picks up your case and processes it...

Bad news everyone. I'm out of the race. I got two emails, one this morning (last night, China time) that said my petition was transfered (to where?) and a few hours later, another that said it was approved. I was asleep, so I just got them a few minutes ago. Good luck to those of you still in the race.
