Hi guys/gals,

Not a CSC TSC CSC transfer, but figured it would help to know anyway. Just got my text and email notification that NOA2 was approved! They said they mailed the notice today, the 17th. My NOA1 date was October 22nd. Less than 4 months, I got lucky. Now I have to figure out what to do with NVC since I sent USCIS my originals by mistake(duh!). Darnell and Loto both gave me some good advice, just wondering if anyone made that error as well. Good luck to everyone, this must be a good sign for Oct/Nov filers. God bless.
