Finally we have our NOA2 approved :yes: . We waited 15 months.

For all users, this is our EXPERIENCE:

Read carefully all documents and do not trust the work of his lawyer, also review all documents. An error of our lawyer made that we had to send the request twice.

Have patience and persistence, love conquers all.
