tonite i came back to my lonely "home", cracked a beer, and turned on PC only to see a email in inbox from USCIS. i was scared absolutely shitless to open it, expecting more bad news/delays. i had filed K-1 in MAY 2009. (or was it 1999?) when i read the "approval" word, i burst into uncontrollable tears. friggin finally, after over 14 months, we got it! i immediately called Bindu in Nepal to tell her the good news. now all we need to do is wait more months (!) for our interview, which is gonna be scarey and stressful, even tho we have a boatload of proof. thank you Mr./Ms. USCIS agent for opening your eyes to our true pile of evidence showing that we are not lying! wonder how long until i should buy a plane ticket to Kathmandu? if i was religious i'd thank somebody up there.

Wow, you two had to wait so long for your NOA2! That's horrible you had to wait for over a year! That had to be torture. But I'm so happy you finally got your NOA2! I hope the rest of your process goes smoothly and fast! You deserve to have some things move fast for you two! Hope you get your interview date soon! :)
