I'm at 32 ?

I'm at 32 ?

Jass and Lykesarah I would not be one bit worried if I were either of you.

Give yourselves until the end of this month. Good things are coming.

USCIS will slow down these next few days with the Thanksgiving Holiday but after that you will both have something to be really thankful for. :dancing:

Hang in there.

*****Appreciate all fellow members for their support in the times of waiting patiently ****

Alex, Wow awesome news. You are the only approval I've seen tonight. Once again an evening approval.

Update your official VJ timeline if you can. Next stop for you is NVC.

This will make your Holiday even more special.

I may have mentioned this before but the NOA 1 date on the VJ timeline should be the date on the actual NOA 1 upper right hand corner.

What did your finacee say when you told her?

Congrats again.

Jim

I want to encase my cellphone in Bronze ... Frozen on the SMS message and display it forever...

Kind of vague message... Had me gulping.

"Your case has been updated"

I surely expected to see an APPROVE in there somewhere.... And since I didn't I thought the worst. But there it was online. Your case is approved.

Hi John,

That is so cool. Funny story. I was browsing IGORS list (most recent 15 approvals) which is what I do like 10 times a day lol.

I saw an Icon but it was super small but looked liked yours. I thought. Hmm that can't be right....sure enough it was. Congrats

Jim

Congratulations to everyone approved. I remember my approval text came at like 10:45pm. It said case updated like John's...kind of a panicky feeling as you struggle to get to the USCIS web page.

I called the NVC again this morning. Case still hasn't been received. Ugh. Does anyone else with an NOA2 date close to 11/3 have anything to report from the NVC?

11/1 NOA2, got it in yesterday. If it helps call in the evening because I called in the morning and they didnt have it, but they had it later in the afternoon.

Does anyone know when NVC closes today, being thanks giving tomorrow?

Nothing really other than have the number to call NVC and have a copy of your paper NOA 2 in front of you when you do.

You can always get to work on your I-134 and start gathering the info that goes with it.
