Wow, a lot of the Philippines filers have been moving very quickly!! Congratulations to you guys!!

Looks like most of the rest of us are still sitting here with no NOA2. And VJ is estimating sometime in February now. Their estimate for me originally was January 18th. That didn't happen! Now the estimate is a month more.

You know what the good news is though? No matter how long we ultimately have to wait - we've already waited a month! So if our final wait is going to be 9 months - now it's only 8!!!

Hi all, just signed up to VJ today. Been obsessed with researching other people's timelines over the last couple of days. Had a mild panic as our wedding is in June and we filed in December (I'm the beneficiary) but happy to see some early December filers already receiving their NOA2. If worst comes to worst it will have to be a registrar marriage before the 'big day' and a different visa option.

Dec 9 2013 I-129f sent

Dec 19 2013 NOA1 and routed to CSC

Dec 23 2013 Alien Reg No. changed.

Fingers crossed. Come on universe!

Dec 9 I-129F sent

Dec 19 NOA1 and routed to CSC

Dec 23 Alien Reg No.

Jan 28 NOA2

Jan 28 Phoned USCIS to change our address to an American one as they don't post outside the U.S

*I am the beneficiary*

*I am Australian, my fiance is American and we are currently living together in England on Tier 2 ICT Long Term Staff Migrant/Partner Visas.
