Well, fortunately none of those points are an issue for us... we're both Catholic, in a hetero relationship, he speaks English (sometimes better than I do), I'm young enough to have children and he's only 8 years older. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing!

That will help a lot and I certainly hope you have a smooth process!  By nature, I'm a person who likes standardized processes and procedures and when I read about cases that are rejected in one embassy that would have probably passed in a different embassy, it just rubs me the wrong way.  Of course I have to remind myself I'm not the CO and I'm only hearing one side of the story without seeing all of the evidence.  I just feel like if you're following their process with all of its twists and turns and paperwork and can show a genuine relationship, then it shouldn't matter which embassy you are going through, they should all be consistent.  *shrugs*

Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today I had a specialist go in and

Hey everyone, does anyone know what it means in the USCIS app when it says a similar case was approved? Is that the NOA2 or the final approval, visa in hand? I'm seeing a lot from November getting approved, and this one from exactly 3 months ago. Does this mean we could potentially have the visa in hand exactly 3 months from our application date? I really expected it would be more like 6 months...

Hello eeryone! Which date do you consider your NOA1 date? Should I use this one from the USCIS website status?

On March 2, 2017, we received your Form I-129F, Petition for Fiance(E), Receipt Number WACXXXXXXX, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by April 1, 2017, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283.
