Really? Wow. Thank you for the support. Our NOA1 receipt was official on 12 April. You are only a day behind. If you don't get your NOA2 today, you surely will early next week. Please keep me posted. Blessings to you.

Yes I have been following your posts and really relate to your frustrations so was praying for you guys too. Thanks for the blessings, they're appreciated. I really can't wait now! Either way I'm going to visit my fiancé in NC in a few weeks just to break the time up. I'm praying we get ours soon.

Good luck with the next steps :dancing:

I just made an account so that I can input my information. We just got approved today July 7th, 2016. I found out through the app. We received our NO1 hard copy April 25, 2016. We have been waiting with the anticipation of a RFE be cause I sent a non-long form of my birth certificate. So anyone worrying about this just should not stress out too much because you never know.

Aside from that I want to tell everyone still waiting to hang in there.

APPROVED APPROVED APPROVED

We got approved.

Notification came in via text message at 11:31 PM (EST) on Thursday 07 July 2016.

The USCIS Case Status app sent a notification at about four hours later

Time between NOA1 and USCIS (NOA2) text approval = 87 days

Congratulations to all who got approved ! Now we share the same excitement and the wait for NVC.

I have to say I saw your post too of how you are frustrated about waiting and all that few days ago. See? right on time you got approved.

So to all who are still waiting keep up your hopes, it'll come soon at the right time for you. Cheers guys! ??

"the wait is worth it"

Admittedly, it feels very good. A huge relief. The long wait and anticipation only added to an already stressful week. I bought a house and have been packing all week. With the closing on the new house scheduled for Monday, and Dyn's recent approval last night, I can breathe a little easier.

We got our NOA2 on a Tuesday and the hard copy on Friday morning, so it was a 3 work days wait. My boyfriend lives in San Diego.

Thank you. So i think we'll get ours next week. :)

One more question, when should we call NVC to get a case number? Or do we need to wait for CSC to send it to NVC?

TImeline trends indicate an average wait of 24 days until you get NVC number.

From what I've seen in March topic there's still a lot of people waiting with NOA2 dates of June 9-10, and from the people that updated their advanced timeline the latest NVC received dates are from the range of June 6-10. There's one person from June 30 that marked his received date on Jul 5th. It seems strange, maybe its an expedite. I already messaged him, I'll let you know what he says lol.

My NOA2 was June 21 and I think I'll start calling next week.

More waiting :clock::clock:
