I am not so good, I can't believe our NOA1 is October 14 and so many people with later NOA1 dates have been approved. Is like they completely skipped the 14, cause no one else with the 14th has been approved either. :crying::bonk:

We're very anxious to receive the NOA2.

Also, once we receive the NOA2, how soon can we schedule the medical visit and interview with the US consulate in Hong Kong?

October 28th, 2011 CSC filer here. haven't heard anything yet, great to see some mid-October filers getting approved though. Know ours is on its way.

I am leaving Wednesday to head to Cluj, Romania to visit my beautiful lady. We skype everyday but haven't physically seen each other in 4 months. Getting anxious and excited, would be amazing if we got the acceptance news while I was there.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting, they are coming! Stay positive, patient and take it one day at a time.

embrace the journey.

Have a great time with your special lady. I can certainly relate to your comments. We felt the same way. I just got back from having some quality time with my special lady. :yes:

You may indeed get your NOA2 while on your trip. :whistle:

Wishing everyone continued good fortune on their visa journey.

I am a late October filer and I am as anxious as everyone else to receive the NOA2. It has been 5 months since I was with my sweetie. Skype is great but I am anxiously waiting to get to do the common things that most married couples take for granted, like cooking a meal together or watching a movie together...or doing anything TOGETHER. I am a bit of a control freak so not being able to control anything during this process is painful. I will continue to keep the faith. I hardily congratulate everyone who has gotten approval. I empathize with everyone who is waiting as patiently as possible like me. I am planning to visit my sweetie next month. Hopefully, that will ease the pain a bit.
