NOA 2! In under a month

[srvman 38]

This is crazy, and we both totally understand how lucky we are, but today I looked up on the USCIS site, and it says that they have approved our petition.

We sent our package on the 8th, got our NOA1 e-notification on my dads birthday (August 13th), and got our NOA 2 E-notification on my birthday (6th September).

We had planned for a summer wedding, but some things are just meant to be, couldn't be happier to be marrying the one I love.

Happy Birthday!

Why does you status say you are applying for an F1 but you are posting in K1? Are you the one in the states on an F1 and we said you could marry and adjust status and not return to the UK for a visa?

I guess that was a subconscious thing, I will fix it. Yes I am that one, what ended up happening, was that they couldn't guarantee grad assistance for last semester as they changed their policy to not include international students, and then they changed their mind last minute. While they were messing around we decided to go this route. Everything happens for a reason, and we are happy to already be on this next stage.

So now you are going to leave school in the US, go back to the UK for 2.5-3 months (or longer if you are born in the middle east, Pakistan, India etc) to get a visa so you can enter the US with your student visa voided and no permission to work? Wow.

Well I have no permission to work, as my grad assistance is tuition only, and I work 20 hours a week for the team. All my classes are online for the last semester, which is all that was available.

I appreciate your previous comments, but I do not appreciate this one. It was our choice to do it this way, because we were uncertain about my status. They only confirmed grad assistance two days into the semester for me.

I understand it was the more expensive option, with more time apart. But we can and do accept that, it was the right decision in our opinion at the time of filing. So I happily stand by it.

Very glad you don't have to interrupt your schooling to head back to the UK this month and can continue class from anywhere.

Thank you. I understand where you are coming from. I suppose I needed to do a better job of communicating our various nuances and issues in the future. Thanks for your help in the past, your posts where very helpful, even if we decided to go another way.
