Finally got the NOA 2 last night about 11pm. I am soo happy and I was finally able to give my fiancee some good news. She was starting to get worried and so was I. I am telling you the expected timeline give false hope and it made me call USCIS almost every day. I read on the forum about how to get to a tier 2 person after your wait time goes beyond the 5 months. I did that and I spoke to the nicest CO. She was really helpful and told me that since we have gone past the 5 months that she would put in a expedite request and that I should hear something in about 14 days. She wasn't kidding, exactly the 14th day I got the approval notice. These forums keep you sane, haha. I really enjoyed reading every bodies situations. All are different, call them it worked for me. Ask for Tier 2 and talk to someone that can make a difference.

So happy,

G
