Congrats to everyone who received their NOA2! Seems like you guys are averaging 2-3 weeks from NOA1 to NOA2. Thats crazy. I hope we August fillers are going to get our approvals just as fast.

Good luck to everyone else :) .

Hi all,

I sent out our petition last Monday, July 13th, and on the USPS website it says it was delivered on Wednesday, July 15th. I attached the G-1145 with our petition so hopefully we'll hear something soon.

Good luck to everyone else that has, or will be, filing this month.[/quote

Same dates as you :) good luck!

I just got my NOA2...Wish you all to be approved soon

7/27 NOA1

8/13 NOA2

Congrats!!!

Did your status change online? or you got the hard copy of NOA2?

I believe just a few hours ago you posted that you didnt have the NOA2. Just wondering if the status online changed after the office hours were over at the California visa center. (You can tell I am super excited.)

Hi everyone!

Confession: My NOA1 date is July 13 and I was seeing all these REALLY quick approvals and feeling a tad sour! Got my NOA2 late last night so I'll be back checking the board daily again!!! :dance:

As a note, I didn't get any push notifications through the USCIS iPhone app, or an email or anything. I basically just checked the app and when it was refreshed it said approved, then checked USCIS website, and it said approved as well. I was sure the iPhone app would send a push notification but it didn't, so now I feel like checking the app 8928629856 times a day wasn't so stupid after all....

Got impatient and called NVC just now, of course they don't have it yet and told me to wait 35 days :)

I got thru after like the 3rd or 4th attempt, and was on hold about 40 minutes. I'll try again next week.

It's 2 weeks but they give you the standard answer when you call them which is 35 days. NVC is hard to reach by phone (long wait to actually talk to a human) and their answers (depending on the person you talk to) are ambiguous.

I, myself am waiting on NOA2 hopefully I get lucky anf get it today or within the next week :)

CSC has been fast at approving lately which is a good thing!

What (s)he said...

It has only been a week from our NOA2. I was just bored at work and being impatient... the first thing the NVC rep asked for was my case number, then "What was the notice date on your approval"

"August 6"

"OK, that's too soon for it to be here, you have to wait 35 days sir"

"Ok, thank you"

But of course I'll try again next Thursday or Friday :)

Hi all,

I mailed my I-129F on 7/6/2015 and received the NOA1 Hardcopy on 7/10/2015.

It's been more than a month already since I received my NOA1 but haven't heard anything yet regarding my NOA2.

I see some folks in this forum got their NOA2 in just a couple of weeks.

I'm getting worried already.
