Oh Wow! Congratulations you two!

Now, i'm going to feel worried if I don't get ours in the next 3 days.

But it's so good to see it won't be as long as expected.

Well according to the number of petitions we actually can see on VJ, it's not so surprising that June and July are getting mixed.

Sigh, we both are getting very cranky, a good news like that would be more than welcome now.

Congratulations you two also. Although happy for you, it was tempered by us getting an RFE dated 9/21. I guess that I will have to wait for snail mail to find out what they wanted as the online case does not give any details. I really hope that this does not send us back to the end of the line and I will be anxious to find out what is missing. Given that we have been dating for 4 years, have seen each other 27 times in that time, submitted huge amounts of photographic and other evidence (that I got a buddy who had gone through the process check), I really hope that is something minor and this is only just a short delay.

Congrats all you folks again - the good news is that they are looking at a bunch of July filers right now...

Pls keep us up to date. I am surprised by the RFE given your circumstances. But on the positive note, they looked at yours and so much better now than in Dec. Good luck to you.

Getting an RFE means they're processing your petition, it's a good sign.

RFE could be about a missing signature, birth certificate format, etc...

Hmm, huge amount of photos isn't so good, it's 5 pictures max. You know sometimes too much info kill the info.

What was your primary evidence?

Well for now, I wouldn't worry about it.

Keep us updated!

I was pretty sensible about the photos printing 6 pages of 4 color photos per page with labels on the back, so I don't think it would be too onerous to check. I also was thinking that the RFE was a good sign as they are working on it, but have some envy for those who got approved. It could be a complexity thing also - I am an ex Brit who naturalized as an American and she is a Venezuelan citizen with Green Card status in Canada - perhaps they want something different. I will bite my fingernails for a few days more until the snail mail arrives and will keep the board updated...

I had looked early on Friday afternoon and there were only 34 or so at that point. I guess people updated their status later in the day!!

Hi everyone! May I join you? I guess waiting is somewhat bearable when you're not alone! :-)

NOA1 - July 16, 2009

PS. Congratulations to those who have already received their NOA2! I am so happy for you! I know I will walk on the ceiling the day I will get it!

Thanks a lot! I know I am adding to a list that is already way too long. :-(

Our story: We've met in my country one beautiful summer day, on a train, back in 2003. We are together ever since and we have commuted back and forth to and from Germany where he was stationed. Since he moved back to the States last February, commuting was not an option anymore. Marriage was always in our minds and to some extent we can say that we have been married in our hearts for all these years. However, society requires more than a heart statement and proof. Thus, here we are, attempting to pass through the Caudine Forks, joining you for a wait that seems endless and painfull as hell!

Well, let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst, right?

Actually, there are people who already started getting their NOA2, so we started seeing the end of the tunnel. And since everyone who joins brings some blessing with him/her, your joining us will make the journey less painless, more blessed.
