LOL, not exactly. My husband and I just had a huge argument on the phone last Saturday, so I haven't even told him about the notification yet. He's away for the week as well and won't even get the letter until he returns to his flat in Scotland.

So it'll be a big surprise to him, eh? Hopefully you get your NVC number sooooon =3

What does the NVC number mean? Is that for the interview part? No matter how many times I reread all the information, I still don't have the lingo down, lol. And yes, it will be a big surprise for him.

Hooray for you, JustJulie!!! A big sigh of relief for both of us!

Btw, my husband phoned, and we are going to try to work things out. I told him about the notice and sent him a copy of the email. Maybe now, he will get his act together and realize this is for real.

Good luck on your approval and I hope everything goes well with your husband too. Once your I-130 and I-129 leaves California, it will be sent to NVC - National Visa Centre were it will be assigned a number, then forwarded to your consulate in the foreign country. Then you get packet 3 and 4, I believe. =]

Our NOA1's date was April 15th, but has not been touched since. I have read posts that say they received their NOA2 without seeing any touches on the status page. What exactly is it that you received regarding the NOA2? Is it the letter with links to download forms that is sent to the recipient (ie my husband)? I am still a little confused. Thanks for any help.

Mintchip,

I just logged in today and noticed my case got touched today, so hopefully something will happen soon, previously my case has not been touched since they recieved it. :star:

You guys are so lucky. I check my husbands case everyday for a touch and nothing, not even a breath on it. But wouldnt you know i check my account today and there is a touch but on my ex husbands old case that has been closed. So i dont know what this means. Maybe they are trying to get rid of that case totally so they can focus on my husbands case. What do you all think? Im getting so scared and frustrated.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks so much and congrats to anyone so far approved, please pray ours comes soon, sweetcitywife
