OH MY WORD 🙌🏻 🙌🏻

 

Fiance just told me the informed delivery email shows a scan of a letter from USCIS .... day 147 today, NOA1: 16 March (received March 13), Tracker still says "Case Received", so almost 100% sure it's an approval.

 

Will update timeline when we know for sure and with the proper date of the NOA2. Postage mark is dated 4 Aug.

 

We were gonna contact the Senator today and then this email came ... 👍🏻😁😁

 

Day 147 here as well, and my senator's inquiry went in last week, I'm crossing my fingers.

 

Congrats!

How does this comment help anyone? You're kind of missing the entire point of this thread.

 

So when someone tags me in something being snarky, I'm supposed to not reply? 

 

"The entire point of this thread" is many different things to many different people over the 500+ pages. Some are obviously here for moral support and others are here for updates on others' cases to get a realistic timeline for themselves. I reject the assertion that there is any one "entire point"

Hey guys! I checked my Informed Delivery today and got a letter from USCIS. I'm so nervous. I see that the notice date is August 3rd. I called USCIS and spoke to a tier 2 officer and he said I didn't have any RFE or approvals on the way and they are processing January cases and all of that. The same day I contacted my senator when they didn't give me any information on my petition. They contacted me back August 3rd, the same day this letter is dated. Nothing says anything about an RFE on USCIS' website, so.... now I wait till the mail arrives. Excited and scared all in one go. 

 

Yay!!! Congrats!!! So happy for you! It looks exactly like our NOA2 so I'm sure it is!

I received my NOA2 yesterday! I wanted to reveal to my fiancee on Skype first before letting everyone else in on it. She couldn't believe I hadn't even opened the envelope to peek until this afternoon.

 

NOA1 Receipt: 3/28 Notice: 4/3
NOA2: 7/31  postmarked 8/1
Case tracker still shows as "Case Was Received"

Good luck to everyone still on the roulette wheel!! I'm rooting for everyone!!

OMG Congrats fellow 3/28 receipt date! So happy for you!!  

[amishbaby 407]

APPROVED!!!!!! 
Received date: 3/28
NOA1 date: 4/03
NOA2 date: 8/03

 

This proves the 4 months right on the dot!!

Also, today I received an email back from my senator!
 

"Dear Ms. Wenner: 

 

Thank you for your inquiry on behalf of your constituent, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, regarding the I129F filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In receipt of your inquiry, a thorough review was completed on your constituent’s case. USCIS records show the following:

 

-          The California Service Center approved the referenced case on August 04, 2017.  The case will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing within the next 2-3 weeks."


Not sure what it means that it was approved August 4th from the senator, but the notice on the I-797 form says 8/03. Either way it's kinda one of those situations that makes you wonder if the senator DID help. An inquiry was sent out on August 3rd from my senator. Either way, I am super happy!!! 

To everyone else, I'm positive you're going to get approvals soon! I promise it is all worth it when you get it. I know I wasn't the best being patient, but as many others who have got their NOA2s would probably agree with me, it was all worth it!  

YAY, NOW TO CELEBRATE!!!!!  

HOPE TO SEE MANY MORE APPROVALS!!!

I'm more convinced, not less convinced, that your letter was already in the mail and that complaining to senator does nothing, tbh

Thanks mate ... I was gonna ask you to meet up for a drink after your interview in London last week, but I was not in the London office unfortunately.

 

Hopefully everything goes quick from now on. The only other issues are selling everything, including my house and we know how slow attorneys can be with those sort of things. Just hope it sells quick. Will wait for visa in hand before I do that though !

 

If I can be with my fiance for Christmas, I'd be happy ! 😁

@Yzabelle We use DHL - seems to be cheapest.   Recommend only sending wet signature documents to save money and PDF email the rest.

 

Cost is over a hundred dollars usually

Believe me after NOA2 it goes by so quickly that your head will spin 😅 Maybe silly to say ever thought about renting out your property 😁 Or is that not a possibility
