we got assigned our case number 12 days after NOA2 approval.

but then again, we didn't know we were approved cos the status online wasn't updated (up to this minute, i just checked :lol: ). we found out a week later when we got the NOA2 hard copy in the mail.

it is coming. took us exactly 14 days.

Thanks! I know I shouldn't be so impatient, but I woke up at 3AM and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm tired and grumpy! :angry:

Ours took 12 days from receiving the hardcopy to the NVC got it. I found out on Saturday because they update at 10:30pm nightly during the week and I had to wait until Monday to call with our email addresses!

Now we are waiting to get the ds-3032 email so we can pay.

My hubby wears glasses. Should he wear them in the photos we send to NVC? I googled this and it's 50/50 so I can't figure it out!

I ordered my new passport with my name change (I had to pay full price, plus I expedited...wishful thinking on my part...). I had a debate going at the photo store on whether I could smile or not. I decided not to, and had the worst pic taken of me ever! I didn't want to risk getting rejected. They may just reject me for an awful picture. :rofl:

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

I hate NVC. Hate. Hate. HATE.

The review came back. The part regarding my grandmother's I864 was cleared. I was vindicated in that.

However, now they are requesting proof of domicile for me. I don't have any - why? I moved to Canada in Dec. 2005 with no immediate intention of moving back to the US.

So absolutely frustrated with this entire process.

Montreal: BEAT!!! Approved!!!!!

If he wears them normally all the time then I would think it would be ok..??

OMG!!! Your kidding?? Well I know your not, but that is sooo crazy! However, to address your problem... It is your intention to move to the USA so that is what you have to prove. If you are going to live with a relative, draft up a lease agreement (you can find one online), open a bank account showing that address and have some mail directed to that address... It is my understanding that you have to prove that you plan to live with your SO in the US and have made arrangements....

So Sorry!
