Where are most of you getting your information about what to do next? Once they get here and we are married?... I WAS using an immigration lawyer, but I'd rather save the money. I know they have to adjust their status.. and for us, my fiance wants to start working ASAP. Where can I find out about the next forms for that and all that info? trying to think ahead and keep my mind off NOA2...

Yes. I heard the same. I had a friend who came on a fiance visa and married right away. he was able two work a couple months after.. i guess for him it took less than 3 months. maybe things were moving quickly then. thank you for the link!

I've just called NVC, gotten my case number and I'm planning to ask my fiancé to send me all the documents we are going to need for the interview. This may be a silly question but I was wondering if it is okay for my fiancé to send me a scanned copy/photocopy of the approval notice (NOA2) and bring it to the interview? Or is it better for him to just send me the original NOA2? But I don't want him to risk sending the original copy since we will be needing it again for AOS.

Meanwhile, I am sending my prayers for speedy approvals for all of you! They will come eventually! :star:

Yes, no logic at all. Maybe they just try to process fast as many files as possible or they use contractor and work at home people at the end of the Fiscal Year? They do work now much faster than during the whole year and the lucky ones got approved fast. I was excited when I did see our month going fast but now, as I see others approved and our file is not moving, I just cooled down saying whatever, it will be what it will be
