Our two I-797 forms have been approved. Yippee!!

Approved for what?

After reading 20 posts with tons of answers, I'm not sure what to tell my wife. Should we be excited about this or not?

It's not a visa approval. I think it's just a receipt showing the file will be forwarded to a Thai or American Consulate. She will want to know what this approval is, and what it really means. Thanks for any help, Paul.

It's your NOA2 saying that the USCIS approved your petition! Now it should go to the NVC (National Visa Center), then it will be forwarded to the consulate. Congratulations!

Great news.. :dance:

:time: and you must have selected the wrong service center since Texas does not do K visas anymore.. VSC or CSC
