Congratulations! (F)

Congrats to you guys.

I have a quick question about NAO2, is there somewhere on the USCIS site I need to look to see what happened to my status? I checked today and it says Last Updated: 09/20/2006. Is this what everyone is referring to as a "touch"? What will it say once it goes to the NAO2 step of the process? Thanks.

Reunited for good and it feels so good!

Just be happy and don´t worry!

Congratulations from us too (eventhough we had to wait close to 150 days ;) )

I don´t think there is anybody who would blame you for getting approved sooner before them.

Cases are different and Service Center processing times are just too different that everyone could get approved in a same time frame. Besides of that you got lucky and you didn´t have to mess with that new IMBRA rule what really everything has messed up for several weeks and put a lot of petitions on delay.

Good luck and best wishes for your future
