Wow! Checked my email today and they sent me three approval emails!!! First I thought somebody was playing a dirty joke. I wasn't expecting it since I know so many others are still waiting from March and April. I filed in June on the old form and never got touched or the IMBRA RFE. I thought they just had forgotten me. I didn't even bother to waist my time calling them because I know they're not going to give me any useful info. I was becoming fustrated and impatient seeing so many people already had gotten their RFE, so I just filled out the new application and attached it with a copy of my NOA1 and a cover letter requesting that they replace the original K-1 application. I did this last month and they never even sent me a confirmation that they had received it. And today I get 3 emails that they had approved me on Sept. 11th! Anyway, just wanted to share this info with those that are in the same boat and hopefully this will help you out.

Congratulations ! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

This is fabulous news!!! As an August 1st filer, it gives me hope that maybe they'll work around to me before hell freezed over!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm thrilled to hear you got your NOA2!! May the next steps be quick and painless.

:dance::D:dance::D:dance:

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.
