Any February 2012 filers?

Today started out one of the worst I've had in a whlie. I spent from 10am-2pm at the emergency room with a bladder infection that I didn't know I had till the pain knocked me out when I got up this morning. I came home all drugged up and just crashed. Woke up around 6pm and thought "hmm I didn't check USCIS today".....OMG WE GOT NOA2!!! Alan and I had a little freak out giddy moment then ran to tell our families. Now I can take my pain meds and crash to have happy dreams :dance: (oww, ok no dancing right now)

Happiness...the best drug in the world!!! I'm so happy for you :dance: Praying for a quick recovery for you so that you can focus on the journey ahead

I'm so happy for you! Finally!!

I hope the rest of the journey is a speedy one and no hiccups with your court situation.

Hey all...i'm hoping someone can give me a bit of advice here but it's a bit of a unique situation so appreciate if no-one knows!!! There is a chance that Jason will have an opportunity to change jobs in October...my interview is November 1st! Obviously our affidavit is based on his current employment. There's no worries about finance. He's currently about 6x the threshold and would be getting an increase but he would obviously not have pay stubs from his current job if he changes and might even be cutting it close to do a new affidavit/employer letter! Should we avoid this happening? He could stay put and give a start date end November/beginning of December but if it's too good to turn down then he can't really wait!

Any advice or thoughts would be welcome Thanks!

Why would the start date have to be late November/early December? As long as it's after Nov. 1, I don't see a problem. That would probably be the simplest way to do it, if you don't want the added hassle of redoing all the paystubs/employer letters you've already done. Also, if he's been at his job for a while, it would probably look better to be able to show employment of longer duration at the interview.

We're heading to Hawaii on the 10th November for 2 weeks to get married!!! He's got a phone interview on Friday and will explain all that so they will possibly say to start after that but we're just looking at the 'what if's'!!!

Gavin, in case I don't get a chance to post later (work has been kicking my ####### lately), good luck on your interview tomorrow!! You'll have to tell us how it goes. I'm so excited for another February filer to get an interview result soon, especially a UK one!

Have you guys thought about how we want to keep this group going after interviews/approvals/POE's? We're all going to have to go through the AOS stage, and it would be great to stick with some familiar people during that process. Do we want to keep this group going or create another group in the AOS forum? Thoughts?

Gavin, knock 'em dead tomorrow, so excited for you!!!!

I think we should keep this one up, we don't need to create a new one do we? It would be easier to keep everyone together, I think.

Me, I'm still waiting on the interview time. I've never been so impatient in my life. I know I will probably know in a week or so, but dang...it's killing my soul!

Congrats to everyone in their progress I sure wish my approval comes soon.

Thank you and I'll post an update about it when I can tomorrow Just going through about my billionth folder check!

I think this forum is pretty good to keep posting to. There are still NOA2's to come, so nice to keep track of things. Perhaps at some point in the future we'll look to have a Feb Filers 2012 reunion!

Thanks, so nervous. It'll be interesting to when I'm there to see what other people have with them for their cases. I just wanted to make sure lack of evidence wouldn't be a problem. 1 full to bursting A4 lever arch folder and a folder for all the cards we've sent/given each other.

Praying all goes well for you tomorrow! Looking forward to hearing the good news

Thank you!

Thank you all for your support guys! NOA2 is here at the 245th day of our wait!

I've anticipated this day coming so much that I have no idea what to do next haha.

Guess it's back to digging out the right forum to read & learn now

Congratulations!!!

I called this morning NVC and told me that they haven't received my approved petition. I called 5 minutes ago and they told me they just received it today and gave me my assigned case number

YAY!! Finally

Hmm, we're all going to be doing our AOS at different stages, because of our POE's, so if we want to keep this group together, we should probably stick to here.

Alternatively, I post a lot in the January thread, and a lot of us in that group have stayed in touch via facebook - if anyone's interested in doing that, PM me and I'll send you my FB url

I think it's a great idea - I also think we would all agree that no one who hasn't been through this process could possibly understand a grain of what we've all been through and you're right, it doesn't end with a visa approval. I for one have appreciated all the help / advice / suggestions I've had through this forum. I'd like to stick with it

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow... I just know you'll be cool
