Congrats! same here Vermont finally did it. Sent 129f june 11th and approved Sept 23rd. A bit of advice, my case was never visible online until it got approved. I registered for email and text updates and have never gotten any. So dont rely too much on that option. Jim.

Same here--I registered for email updates but only received the NOA2 paper Notice in the mail, and then saw that the USCIS website had updated our NOA2 information. 27 June-->20 September! (85 days, Russia, VSC)

So.. I guess as usual the next question is : What's next???..

I already have teh names of the doctors who do the consultation.. Just have my fiance make an appointment in the meantime? And start with the medical examination? (And the police report?)

What other paperowork does he need? (I will get the affidavit of support+ my employment letter and my recent paychecks + my diploma)

Then should I call the embassy to start scheuling our interview? Am I supposed to wait for them? Some VJ friends told me I have to schedule my own interview.. (Do I have to wait till he has all the paperworkd ready?)

Please, I really want him here ASAP.. There is so much that we can do before the holidays!!!...

Please whoever can.. Please give me a run-throuhg of the stuff I need to do..

Thanks so much..

Best, MJ S.
