Congrats to all who received their NOA2...

Im trying hard to stay calm, patient and positive :clock:

I know what you're feeling. I am trying to stay calm too. I try to just focus on daily things that I need to do. I tell myself that I won't look at timelines today, but I just can't help myself.

Hey everyone. We're happy to share with you the good news that arrived on leap day. We received a text notification from the USCIS at around 10:00PM saying our case has been updated. So we logged onto our account on the USCIS website and found the best news so far. "My Case was Approved" -Yay!! ^.^ NOA1 date was January 13, 2016.

We're going to start preparing the paperworks for the next step. My fiancé is going to send the duplicate copy of our 1st packet to me soon. Just a few steps closer to our happy ever after.☺

-Love

Yes, Tricked. VJ's estimated NOA2 date was February 26. Not bad though. Like my fiancé says, "Yay for leap year." :)

The only notification they sent to us regarding the case status update was through text message... Nothing through e-mail, though we had turned on both e-mail and text.

Oh sorry, I missed the text part in your original message.

Thinking back, we did only get a text as well for the NOA1.

I did sign up for email notifications on their website though, so maybe... hopefully... who knows...

If you're using the USCIS app, you will get a notification when there's a change in your status. At least that's how I found out they had updated the error I called in for. I got an alert from the app, and USCIS sent me 8 duplicate emails about correcting the error later that day. I have texting turned on but I don't count on it since I have a Polish phone number.

i wish they would hurry up my timeline date is past due and I know I am going to get an RFE because I forgot to send in a waiver request letter with my petition... so this is going to delay me at least another 3 weeks so I want my NOA2 soon because right now current interview times in Cuba are in JULY!!!

Seems like no matter what processing center I get It still takes about 9 months for me. you would think they would hurry with my petition since it's identical to the 1st one but I guess they need more time because they are looking at the old petition and can't approve this one as fast.

Patients I guess I can't complain since it's only been 2 months since I filed this one and the last one took 7 months for the NOA2.

2nd go round

1st K-1 Denied

Subitted Feb 2-6-15

NOA1 - 2-18-15

NOA2 - 8-18-15

Interview 11-25-15 - Denied

And Here we go again -

New K1 submitted - 1-9-16

NOA1 - 1-12-16 (according to USCIS)

Text received 1-15-16

hardcopy - not received yet as of 1-26-16

I didn't receive any text message from USCIS with my Philippines phone number, it was my fiancé's phone number they texted. Perhaps they only text US phone numbers.

Yeah that's what I assumed before signing up. Both my fiance and I are in poland now so instead of having them text my dad I just gave mine in case they need it.

Lots of petitions near mine were approved yesterday, monday, thurs and fri.. But nothing yet. I see some people from NOA1 13th getting their NOA2 here so I'm hopeful, especially since lots near me are approved on the app (even the one before mine) hoping something will arrive soon.
