I just received an update from USPS and it said that my application will be delivered on Monday, which is a 13th. At least it is not a Friday and I hope that number 13 on a Monday will be a blessing (

Hi,

Thank you to all you July filers who gave me good advice while I had a spazz attack about my NOA1!

I called today and got my receipt number and checked on my case. My case is dated Aug 7, and it went to California! (I kinda feel bad being happy about that because I really feel very awful for the members who's cases didn't go there.)

I hope everyone gets their NOA2's in record times.

I'm mostly going to be bugging the folks in the August thread now, but I'll definitely be watching for approvals here and celebrating with everyone (and getting excited about our own approval).

Just curious, how did you find out the date it was sent to NVC? Did you call the center servicing you or did you find out through the NVC hotline?

And it says its at NVC on the USCIS website?

You're lucky! We got approved a little bit before you, but NVC has not received our case. We've only got the I-130 approval notice so far.

Good luck to you on your journey!
