Uh oh, you got lazy, la - please to fill out yer timeline now over at http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=140525 and choose 'National Benefits Center ' as your processing center in yer timeline.

Also, could tell us two additional things?

2. when you get the postal piece, let us know (later) what city the approval notice was shipped from ?

Thanks so much !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

Haha yes it is :) We cooked some fried chicken and fried rice lol (Indian style).

I will update my timeline. I tend to get lazy especially because of the time difference haha.

I can surely answer both of those questions for you once I get my official NOA2 letter via mail. I will update you with it very soon. How long has it been since your NOA1? I hope you get an approval very soon :)
