Hey congrats Happy for you:) Can i ask you how long did your whole process took? Which center was your case assigned to? In how long did you receive your NOA2? Thanks in advance for replying!

thanks ...Atif & Sana. I applied on june 21, 2011 and interview took place on sept 24, 2013. it almost 2 yrs 3 months long journey. my case was assigned into vermont service center and my NOA2 was on April 04, 2013. it took nearly 22 months to approve the file. VSC was verr slow with F2A at that time. they they are approving very fast, i guess.

good luck on ur journey.

It means how did the petitioner acquire his LPR status.

In your case, how did your husband get his green card? Was he petitioned by his parent or relative? An ex-spouse? Employer?
