WOW! congrats on your approval! im so excited for u. as for me and my husband, we are still playing the waiting game for the approval. i had just filed it a few weeks ago and i've only received the NOA1. I'm so jealous yours was approved within 2 months. vermont's processing time seems faster than California service center :( From my research here on vj, its approx 4-5 months. I'm gonna keep your post bookmarked because i'm a little confuse as well on what comes next after the approval. good luck with everything ! God Bless :)

TY

good luck with yours

i filed for an expedite for this due to the violence in my city

i made a huge packet that had wedding pics, call logs showing we talked everynight, and all the other stuff and new articles from major news papers. than i called the USCIS two weeks ago asking what was going on and the rep on the phone took my info and filed an expedite and today i got an email that it was approved.

im still very confused as to what is going to happen next.......not sure if i need to dig up forms, fill them out and send it to NVC along with fees.

hopefully someone can answer.

Good luck with your case again!

Yes. NVC will mail out the letters, but it will take months to reach you.

That's why, everybody provides email ids to NVC as soon as NVC Case# is generated to speed up the process. You will find tons of information in Oct NVC club.
