Hi Mewbear and Dana-Kristen, Absolutely! I plan to hang around and support the remainder of the September filers until we're all approved. I hope that's ok; I don't wanna irk anyone by being presen

I posted a similar post just a week ago, welcome to the club :(

Please don't you think anybody (or most people anyway) would think you were dumb for starting planning a wedding or thinking you would have been by your loved one by now.

My fiancé and I chose September 26th for our wedding date, and for a very long time I thought I was going to be back with him by Avril/early May.

I've found myself extremely anxious and even got myself an ulcer due to stress (how dramatic?! Ahahahh). I'm trying to be positive and think that we are closer to the end than the beginning, but some days are worse than others.

One thing for sure is I'm not inviting TSC at our wedding :P

Anybody else feels like getting their NOA2 is basically like having their visa in hand?

I know you can get denied during your interview at the embassy, but after so much waiting and hassle for that damn NOA2 I feel like the rest is going to be a breeze.. Fingers in the nose like they say where I'm from! :P

I'm glad that no one will likely think that in THIS thread, but I've seen threads where people basically insinuate, "Wow, you planned a wedding without a Visa in hand? Idiot.."

I feel like if you look at the timeline trends, realistically, it's not THAT terrible of an idea but in a worst case scenario, one could definitely end up feeling like an ###. Hopefully none of us will!

September 26, almost a month before ours! How exciting. How far along are you in the planning stages?

I'm so so sorry to hear that you developed an ulcer :( I was worried that I'd end up giving myself an ulcer too. Finally being with my fiancé, and having all of this behind us without a worry in the world just seems so surreal. Try to take care of yourself in the meantime!

I do feel like having the NOA2 is the closest thing to having that Visa! Haha. I've heard that it goes by quickly after that, and plus, you know that providing all goes well, it will be in hand approx. 2-3 months from that point. No more being left in the dark!

Haha, les doigts dans le nez! :P

221 days.

I am using an iOS app to search a range of cases before/after mine. There are 12 nearby I129F petitions in NOA1 state. They have been that way for at least a week (since I began searching). I don't know if it means anything, but if it does - can't be good.

So my NOA1 date was 200 days ago today. Is it safe to assume that if I was going to get an RFE that I would have gotten it by now? Am I on the home stretch now?

It would not be safe to assume that.

Unfortunately not, unless you have your NOA2 there is no guarantee that you will not get RFE. When they look at your documents, you will either get RFE or NOA2.

been lurking just reading until today when i registered our account and timeline.

Not sure if seeing the VJ stats makes me more anxious or less

Seeing the statistics of other NOA1 filers after me being approved before ours sucks.

I'm just excited consistently seeing September dates, even if it is after my date :) It's more so when its bouncing all over the place, Oct, Nov, even a Dec one earlier this month, that makes me crazy lol.
