Our visa was approved 15 minutes ago.  

 

This is the happiest moment I have ever experienced in my entire life.

 

For those that still are waiting, stay strong. There is no greater thing in life than to share each moment with the one you love.

Oh my god!!!!! So happy for you!!! You deserve this!! Congratulations!!!! Was waiting to hear this news from you!

 

My interview is tomorrow and I'm nervous. Hope all goes smoothly.

 

And, again, so so happy for you. Can't wait to hear about your wedding planning, wedding date and more! Take care!

My mom is coming to visit me this weekend for my birthday and we're going to look at wedding dresses on Saturday! I'm so excited; it's finally starting to feel real that I'm going to marry my love. I will also take her to look at the wedding venue we booked so she can see it. Looking like our booked late-January wedding will actually happen after-all as long as everything goes smooth from here!

 

Also, I started watching 90 Day Fiance for the first time ever and OMG...now I understand why they require us to include an intent to marry proof. These people are all like, "we have 90 days to DECIDE if we like living with each other/want to get married." What do you mean decide!? Isn't that the whole point of this visa...because we have already decided to marry this person? Haha

 

It's just been very bizarre for me because people keep telling me to watch it cos' they say I will be able to relate, but actually I cannot relate at all. I have known my fiance for almost 5 years and he's been my best friend for most of those. We know everything about each other and have lived with each other for weeks at a time. I'm not judging these couples on the show at all; I just find it very interesting that my perception of most couples going through this process was vastly different from what this show depicts. 

 

Anyway...good luck March whiners! I'm sending out good vibes in the universe for more NOA2's to start pouring in! 

 

My fiancé has her wedding dress 👗 She went out Sunday with her sister and niece and picked out their dresses and shoes 🙂🙂 now in the process of booking the restaurant and car for the actual wedding day in just a little over 3 months time 🤵👰🏻 Its getting real here now 😁😁,just the little matter of getting my approval in less than 45 hrs time 😯😂

That's the second time I think they've floated this. If that happened strange as it sounds, it would be good for K1s because it would decrease processing times, but it would be bad for K1s that intended to bring their family over at a later date.

 

Unlikely to go anywhere -- but the backlog on family visas is so large they could cut it to zero and USCIS would still be processing them five years from now.

You're right. I do remember something similar being floated around a while back. This is the first time it's gotten an endorsement by D.T. tho so it seems to be gaining some traction.

@Nathan&Amy You are most welcome. You don't have to be a Marchie to be helpful @GazLisa

 

But I'm mostly here on my busy day to say... Mein Gott, @TearsOfBabylon! Next Tuesday?! Lol, even before your dream date that was your bday. Very happy and a bit anxious for you, though sure you'll nail it

Weird, I have the same app and nothing showing, though I swore something made noise last night at like 2am, I show no alerts and I have similar case notification on.

 

edit: Ah, I see, mine has +/- one month, not any date.

My ap is weird it just sends me a message when a case near mine is updated. I really hope thats not how long it takes. I cant imagine that one being near mine either considering they applied way earlier.

I think if you click on the bell icon on the top right you'll get the real time update page and you can click on settings there to change the range of dates it reacts to. The default is any date, so it'd go off on any NOA2.

 

It's weird how random the USCIS case updates are. We've got lots of people with visas that still show received, and we see nothing, and then a week ago there's 250 updates and now this. Bizarre.
