It's been quite a long time since an email made me cry...

 

Before I left for work this morning I was having a conversation in my head saying "As long as I receive NOA2 by the end of the month, I will be happy and my fiancé will still be able to arrive when we were planning". 

 

I arrived to work this morning and noticed I had received an email on my phone.  I opened it up and saw that it was the USPS Informed Delivery email.  After weeks of having this service on, I was just expecting to see another day of images of bills and junk mail.  As the email loaded, I saw the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration logo start to load and all of my breath disappeared from me.  I now knew that I was going to get the letter in the mail today but had no idea what the news would be (approval, RFE, etc.).  My first thought was "How in the hell am I going to make it through work today"?

 

Then, the email finished loading and I noticed something else.  Either due to how the letter was folded, or how it had moved around during transit/scanning, I could make out some of the lines below my address..."The above petition has been approved.  We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of Sta".

 

My breath still hadn't returned but the tears of joy started to flow and I couldn't stop them.  Of course right at that moment a coworker stopped by and asked if I was okay and I said "Yes, I've just received some really great news, these are tears of joy, don't worry".

 

I'm still kind of in shock that we've been approved, it doesn't seem quite real after all of the waiting.  Suddenly, BAM, today it's here.

 

Thank you everyone for your kindness and support during this process.  Even though I don't always respond, or am slow to respond sometimes, this thread has been my life boat during the wait.  I know we still have a ways to go in the process, and the interview still ahead for my fiancé, but for the first time in a long time I feel relief and hope.

 

For anyone that is curious, package received date in Texas was 02/28/17 with a 03/06/17 email & text NOA1 date and a 03/10/17 hard copy date.  Based on the NOA2 envelope being stamped as 06/12/17, that puts me at 104 days since it was first received and 98 days since the first NOA1 notice until NOA2.

 

I am looking forward to continuing this journey with everyone here.  You are the first to know, my fiancé doesn't even know yet and I plan to surprise him tonight when I get home from work and we have our usual Skype chat.

 

Hugs and love to all.

Congrats!!!! Now we have a few more to help over that finish line!

Congrats! My fiance just got an email today with NOA2 and our case has been approved!! NOA1 was feb 28th.

So happy!! Wasn't expecting this at all, I have been updating our case status non stop all last week and no change, he called USCIS on monday and they said they were processing dec 15th and I almost broke down.. So I signed up here thankfully and calmed down fast seeing Feb appliers are already getting approved.. but I expected to wait a few weeks more at least!

 

And the timing is perfect, I'm flying to the US tomorrow for the first time in 5 months to see my future husband and we're celebrating our first anniversary tomorrow night  Now we can celebrate this too!

I called the NVC. They gave me our Case Number, as well as an Invoice Number and Beneficiary Number. They said they had sent our 129 to the Consulate on the 12th (I called on the 14th, Flag Day.). I did not receive any email, and I have not received anything via post either, yet, but that is not unexpected.

 

Good Luck to all!
