Wow! :wow: We FINALLY got our NOA2! Thank God! We kept seeing others who filed their NOA1 around us and AFTER us getting approved, making our hearts sink and wondering what was going on but thank God we finally got it! Thanks fellow VJers for all of your help, tips, guidance and support!

WE ARE SO HAPPY!! Now we begin the next part of our journey and I'm sure you'll be hearing from us! LOL I assume we're waiting for a case number from NVC? Is that the next step? For the rest of you still waiting, hang in there it will happen for you too!

Congratulations!

Allah[swt] says: “You may have someone in your mind, someone in your heart, someone in your dreams, someone in your life, but I am your someone when you have no one"He[swt] reminds us saying "O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you." [[Qur'an:8:4]] So when you slip and fall, remind yourself of Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, the One whose always there, just waiting for your Call!
