Congrats! Also welcome to BA (again, I guess). I'm really curious, do the "CCC" numbers (see http://www.visajourney.com/content/uscis-receipt-number) on your Receipt Number seem to be the working day

I call NVC regularly so I know they received our case on October 2nd from my phone calls but I still haven't had any mail from them.
Should I worry?

I know what you mean... I moved to the US to get my dream job but I am starting to wonder if all the heart ache is worth it.

Received a checklist yesterday on our AOS. I was pretty sad about it because it was a silly error that my lawyer made, if I had made it I wouldn't feel so helpless. Now we have to resubmit & wait another 60 days to review. This adds another 2 months before we get a case complete. We really were hoping for a November interview & now that won't happen. I know some of you are still waiting for NOA2, I guess I just wanted to say patience is key & stressing over this process just makes it worse so waking up today & FaceTiming my husband we just accept we have an additional 2 months added & there's nothing we can do to make that quicker.

So sorry for you both. Hang in there.

Aww I'm sorry you've received a checklist. That really sux on top of all the time you've already waited. I really wish I understood the order (or non-order) of how things work in this frustrating process. Some people have breezed through so quickly and here we and counicoune are, plus how many others - still waiting on NOA2 since April! Ugh Good luck with the rest of your journey and here's hoping there are no more bumps in the road and all goes smoothly!
