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 fix all that damage, so I was extremely nervous and scared about today. However, I woke up and checked the informed delivery and there it was. The golden Wonka wrapper, the USCIS letter.

 

I didn't tell my fiancee because 1) until I opened that letter it could have been and RFE and 2) I wanted to record a video of me opening the letter so that she and I could get the good news at the same time.

 

I sat through the 1.5-hour root canal cleanup job, staggered out of there and headed toward home toward that mailbox. About 5 minutes from the house I started recording a video and talking like nothing was up. Then as I pulled into home, I changed my tone to be much more excited and told her that I hope to have a surprise for her. I walked to the mailbox, pulled out the letter so that the camera could see it, walked to the car and got in, took a deep breath and NOA2!!!! :D:D

NOA2: June 7

 

Please hang in there everyone who is still waiting. I know how hard it is, but the good news is on the way. I have said it before, and I will say it again, you all are the strongest and greatest people I know.

Damn!! Finally! So so happy for you!!

 

Hope this week will also bring some good new for me too :)

@Dave&JoJo the same thing happened to me....Received NOA2 on May 5 and started calling NVC on the following week and since then they were saying that didnt received my case. Last week I spent 1 hour on the phone until they give me a different answer....the agent talked to the supervisor and they finally said they did received my case on May 24. It took them a really long time to AT LEAST tell me that they've received, until them they were saying that still didnt have it. I would encourage you to call them again. it is less likely that USCSI would take more than 3 weeks to send your case to NVC or even that post office would take that long..... 

Did you get your number yet as well?? I'm stressed out and it's only been 3 weeks for me 😑.  I'm also worried because I unexpectedly moved after sending our petition so if my embassy sends me something, I might not get it and calling the NVC will be the only way to get my case number.

Hello, everyone. Was taking a break from reading the forum for a couple of days. I am sure most of you already know how stressed I was over not hearing anything from the USCIS. I'm not the only one. Every time, I went through the scans and saw that our case hasn't been touched, my heart just sand a little more each day. It sucked not getting any mail. My fiance would still check his mail every single day, even after a long day at work. I know every couple on here do the same. It's a painful process.

 

Well, guess what! My fiancee just sent me a picture of our approval letter!! He just got it in the mail. I'm too happy that it took me a good couple of minutes to come to senses! I am still shaken because it came at a time when I was least expecting it. Well, anyway, here's our details. Could be helpful information to some other couple. I'm not going to tell you to wait patiently. I will only tell you that the feeling you get after you hear something from these USCIS people is so worth it. You will get to see your fiancee soon enough. Wait for the person you love.

 

NOA 1 received date- 2017 - Feb 02

NOA  2 Approval date - 2017 - June 02

NOA2 snail mail (hard copy) - 2017 June 12

 

The case tracker app, the online website both shows as our case received. I'm betting a lot of approvals are sent out each day but sometimes the snail mail is slow as in my case. 

 

Thank you all of the guys here, you have been so encouraging, helpful and I just want to thank everyone. I've kept my hope whenever there was other approvals posted here. I just wanted to know when was our turn. I guess, finally, that day is here!

Yeah!! Finally!!!! We got our news on the same day! We waited and it's DEFINITELY worth it! Good job hanging in there so long.
