another feb filer approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at this rate, we should be getting ours real soon

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185378

Actually, there's one from march approved too. This guy got approved in 10 days. check it out http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185397

Actually if you look at their timeline they sent I-130 on February 23 so they are a Feb filer not a March, they got their NOA1 on March 3 so STILL record time on approval!

Would love it if I got back to states next week and had an approval, although I am budgeting my finances for SO to arrive after February next year so this speedy process could put a major cramp in the budget - not necessarily a bad thing just will have to take some "creative" financing LOL! :D

I have yet to receive a touch either. Personally, I pay it no mind, all is in the hands of God and HIS timing will prevail. We cannot yet afford to send SO to Nigeria to get his police report so if it takes 2 or 3 more months to receive NOA2 it is alright with me. I have everything else nearly complete, just need letter from my employer.

They say patience is a virtue so I will wait for God to bestow the blessing of it upon me.

Hiyee! I just browse the spreadsheet that was attached on your message...I'm just confused, do you base the anticipated date of approvals thru their countries? because the anticipated date of approval are not the consistent...some received the NOA1 earlier than others,but they received they will received their visas late. (i hope i did make sense there...hehe)

Hi WhidbeyGirl,

Can you change my service center from Vermont to California.. I just found out that I did send my documents to Vermont but when I open my case online its California :dance::thumbs::dance: yeahhh... more faster than Vermont... atleast 2 months faster.. see... if you have patients... your case gets push of 2 months.. may it be from day 1 which I did not see... but now whenever I see it thats what I think that its moved 2 months ahead... its GOD's work. :innocent: ... all you guys must be understanding the feelings right.. cheers..

You made complete sense to me :) NOA2's are based on service center, the NVC and Interview dates are based on country and Visa in Hand is 8 days.
