Glad you had a good time!

Yeah, I was surprised when I got the text message last friday for the approval. I'm not complaining though. I hope that it reaches NVC soon. This seems like the longest part of the wait for NVC when you have all your paperwork in line.

I was checking the uscis site from my mobile phone while I was in Turkey and just praying to see the words "APPROVED" while I was there with my hubby. Spending the week with him was so wonderful. It will help me to get by for the next two months or so now It would have been so awesome to have celebrated with him but I would be just as ecstatic to see it today

Recived hard copy NOA2 in the mail today!

I also called NVC last night for the first time and it's still not there yet.

I highly suggest calling NVC around 10:30-11 PM EST. They picked up after 3 sec of being on hold. I tried to call earlier in the day around 4 PM and was on hold for 35 min... I gave up and called back around 10:30.

Called NVC just now and got my case number!! -the automated message said it could take 6-8 weeks for my husband to get a letter from them! I guess that's why everyone just sends emails and ignores the automated messages!

Rec'vd hard copy today too. I agree about calling late EST. The operator I talked to was quite nice; no hurry to get off phone.

Next up: NVC-ID!

Good Morning Everyone,

I decided to call USCIS on Wednesday to inquire about the status of my case (even though it is way early and I expected to be completely blown off). The guy who answered was super nice and since their computers were having some issues we sat and talked on the phone about my marriage and such. He looked up my case and gave me tons of info as to the fact that the background checks and everything were all completed and now just in the massive pile waiting for my turn. I explained to him that my husband is not working as of 2 weeks ago and he suggested that I file an expedite request. SO I DID.. and within 2 hours I had an email from an adjucator requesting me to fax a copy of my receipt, recent pic together, and a letter requesting and expedite. I sent it over right away and last night I received an email back that my expedite has been APPROVED and it will be finalized within 1-5 days!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Congrats!

Today is one week from NOA2 approval. Called late last night and it's still not in the system yet. I have a feeling it might be in there tonight. I hope it's there tonight since we have a holiday Monday and it usually does slow down things just a bit from my experience reading posts on VJ.
