Thank God

USCIS sent me the NOA2 without any approval notification. NOA2 was approved a week ago while I was anxiously looking for it, but it was in mail for the last 3 days while I was waiting for email or txt notification from USCIS. That don't even update my online case status whereas the petition was approved a week ago.

Good Luck for the rest of you and best wish for the coming process.
