Oh congrats :) In fact you got your NOA1 2 weeks after me and your NOA2 2 weeks after me too B-) It seems that the timelines for people living abroad are basically always the same.

Thank you!! I was using you as a refencre the whole time, so I figured (hoped) I would get my approval this week, and I did! Yeah, I would say it is pretty a pretty standard time frame (40 -60 days) for people abroad. Hopefully the other february filers will get it soon too (clemjam, I feel yours coming!).

By the way, has NVC received your file yet and have you gotten your case number?

I'm the beneficiary.

So, this is an argument that gets started on here quite often and it never turns out very well. I'm one of those people who will probably be auto-expedited, and while I'm not really offended or anythi

Yes, this is very normal. Even cases that are linked often don't appear online at the same time. As long as you have USCIS case numbers for all of you, you're fine. good.gif

No we didn't get our case number, we didn't try to call yet and this week, everytime my husband is availaible to call, the NVC is closed. Seems it's opened from 7 to 12 eastern time so when he comes back at home around 6 in the evening, it's already too late. I hope we'll beable to call soon.

Thank you Senator Orrin Hatch!!
