[Tina and Johan 206]

Hi!! I was waiting to post here until I could tell Johan about our update (8 hour time difference... boooo!), but at 7:45 pm pacific time (California time!), I got an email from USCIS telling me that our petition was approved! No text, although I'm signed up for both. Handling it like a typically responsible, professional, level-headed, middle-aged woman, I started crying and shaking, and scanned through the email to make sure that it didn't say something like "you suck" or "keep dreaming, dorks." USCIS handled themselves appropriately and just said that they sent us a notification on April 8th that the decision is in our favor.

I told my daughter (my erratic behavior was likely unnerving and alarming to a 15-year old girl). Then stopped just short of an all-points bulletin to wake the man up! He now knows, and between us, we probably lost about 100 lbs of stress. What an incredible thing to share with someone.

Nikki, congrats to you! For everyone else still waiting, keep the faith! This group is such a blessing, and things are really moving. Thank you to every one of you for the support and for sharing the stress, burden, happiness and experience. Our NOA2 took exactly 60 days. Now onto the next wait. How long before I can call the NVC?? wink wink.

Tina

Its funny how you were so frustrated about to lose hope and breakdown for waiting to get approve then the next day or Hour you will get the good news Feb. Filers are awesome. Good things come to those who believe.

Congrats to all the people approved! Just found out on the USCIS site a RFE is in the mail . Ah well, hope it's nothing major.

[Eva&Gary 3]

Sent our packet on the Feb 13th and just received NOA2 this evening Apr 8! My SO is sleeping so she'll have to find out when she wakes up

Our application was under expedited review so I don't want to give anyone false hope that this is the norm. Tier 2 told me max timeframe for expedite is 45 days.

Congrats!!!

Oh it'll just be something minor I'm sure! On the plus side it means they are looking at your case! ?
