*jumps up and down and shrieks* It's here, it's here! NOA2 text/email received today! Yeah! woohoo! *runs off to update timeline*

Hi all,

I just registered today to share with you all that I have been approved today. I have been active on the site without ever registering but was following along and praying that we all get to see this day.

My I-130 NOA1 was dated for Nov 2nd (touched on 03/14) and I-129f NOA1 was Nov 16th (touched on 03/17). Both of my petitions were approved as of March 23rd.

I wish all of us good luck on our respective roads in bringing our spouses. On to NVC!!! :dance::dance:

Just saw the following post and wanted to share another Oct/Nov NOA2. This time the lucky winner is EAbbas. Congrats to him/her and their spouse. Even though it is an expedite, still another approval for an Oct/Nov filer.
