Congratsyes.gif Finally USCIS is working now. Got our Noa2 last Tuesday ( September 24). I received a text and an email saying our case was already updated and when I checked - ITS APPROVED! - Thanks God! Now its will be another journey at NVC. (:

We received a letter from USCIS last September 6, saying our case was transferred from NBC (Lee Summit Missouri) to Local Atlanta USCIS center. wow after more than 9 months since noa1 (Dec.6,2012), we heared from them and our case was just sitting in Atlanta all the time. Writing my hubby's senator and Congressman really help us a lot about our case.

I booked him for an Infopass after we received that letter from USCIS which was September 26 to know further the status of our case. September 21st around 4p.m. Saturday, a lady called my husband saying she is from USCIS and asking some questions about our relationship. He was first hesitant knowing it was a Saturday and who will be working that day from USCIS. But he just stay calm and polite to answer all her questions because anyhow, she was not asking anything about money ( we really all know that there was a scam going on pretending to be from USCIS and asking money to speed up one's case). The lady was doing a telephone interview.yes.gif

September 24 - Thanks To God! We got approved.

To all who are still waiting for Noa2 - have more patience and pray....pray...praysmile.png
