I couldn't believe it when I read that e-mail!

My NOA1 is Jan 31, I waited until I hit my 5 month mark and then began contacting my senators, congressman, and ombudsman. Then I was transferred from VSC to TSC on June 21. On July 6 I received an RFE (I had forgotten to add letters of intent), received the hardcopy on July 11, mailed my documents back on July 15 and was received at TSC yesterday and I got the e-mail for my approval tonight!!!

I'm so excited and hopefully everything speeds up from now on... luckily I have read many forums with directions on what to do after I receive my NOA2 so I feel prepared for the next steps!

Congrats! You look like you know what your doing so I probably don't need to say it but keep checking on your application while it transfers from uscis to NVC. They had messed up on our documents and never sent it to NVC. I finally got it cleared with help of my very helpful senator fienstien. But never the less they wasted 2 months from my application and they are finally sending it to NVC. Im sure you'll keep on it

Congrats again!

Thank you so much Fsaeed81. Wow, 2 months? Luckily you got in their case about it and was able to get it moving. I plan on starting to call within the next week rather then waiting 2 weeks to check up on it since I had seen other posts from other members who were transferred from VSC to TSC and it took many many weeks for their petitions to be sent back to VSC from then from there to be sent to NVC. Thanks for your suggestions :)

Thanks MrTee, I have read that page over 10x and just prayed to God that soon I would be reading it after I received NOA2!
