Just received our NOA2 - 12 days! Wow...was not expecting that. CSC is certainly approving petitions fast these days. While I'm definitely excited, my thoughts and prayers are with those going through

Finally, finally after almost 10 months, got my NOA2! I was getting very negative about the whole process and just when I was ready to think about alternatives. I was approved and even dealt with an RFE. Really wish all of you still waiting, if there are any for October, the best in your visa journey. I now have a little more to wait for but extremely happy and wish the same for all of you. Especially those in love and suffering from this long excruciating wait.

Now what? I got my notice, the papers are in Kiev. Now she just needs her police papers, doctors note, affidavit of support and then make an appointment?

Also, for the affidavit of support, will all of my paystubs for 2015 and official documentation from www.theworknumber.com stating my salary, and how much I get paid per pay period be enough?

I am in the same situation in Bogota. I prepared past three tax returns, last two months of pay stubs and a letter and history from my bank that lists all deposits in the past year. I also sent the W2 and 1099 I used for my 2014 taxes.

Have you been able to schedule an appointment? No available dates appear for the Bogota embassy, wondering if anyone else dealing with that.
