For all of you who are currently waiting for NOA2, it seems the California service center is doing incredibly fast work at the moment!

We just found out our I130 has been approved in only

12 days, which is faster than we dared dream of! We got the NOA1 hard copy and decided to check the case status online, only to find out that the I130 had already been approved.

Thanks to everybody here at VJ, we would have had a much harder time putting our package together without all the info here!
