Our case was transferred on 12/17 and received by NVC yesterday. So it took us 2 weeks with all the holidays in between. My fiance called today and they gave him our number. Perfect timing :dancing::dancing::) Happy New Year!!!

Well it took long enough but finally I can join this thread. So excited about my approval. Looks like tsc approved quite a few people today.

How are things going for you all so far. I was reading through it trying to get an idea of what's been happening after NOA2 and how long everything will take.

Happy New Year everyone
