hi po Keith and Monica, how did you get this information and where? thanks in advance! ♥

If you mean how did I find out that we were approved?  I received an email first, then checked the website and tracker, both showed that we were approved.  I then a little later received the text message.

Sent our RFE packet on Wednesday and it hasn't arrived yet.  I live an hour and half from Laguna Nigel.  I could have walked there and dropped it off quicker!  And they wonder why people don't use USPS :)

I sent mine on Wednesday too and mailed it overnight express ... guaranteed delivery by 3pm yesterday ... do you think it arrived yesterday at 3 ... Oh USPS ... they try  :jest: but that is crazy it hasn't arrived yet, and you are so close. I see where mine was delivered to the Laguna Nigel Post this morning at 10 am and I am all the way here in Alabama. :huh:  I think maybe we get our received notifications next week though, but could be wrong of course ... I hope so anyways. BTW ... anyone ever find out that pick up time? :jest:

I just sent express, not overnight and got the signature confirmation.  It left SD on Wednesday night.  Oh well....  It'll hopefully be on someone's desk on Monday :)  I am sooooo nervous.  I sent sooo much stuff!  Other than maybe some hotel or airport surveillance videos there is NO more evidence I can provide.

Did you send it Priority?  I did and sent on Saturday and they physically got it on Monday and acknowledged it on Tuesday.  It was coming from Portland OR.   Have you tracked the package?

I did too ... We had several trips, they specifically asked for a trip to Helsinki and recommended passport stamps and/or tickets, so I sent her train ticket, passport photos including the stamps this time, yeah I didn't send those in the first time<_<, I also sent in documentation of my trip to Russia which I included our plane tickets from Moscow to Pete, photos and another copy of my passport and included stamps there as well. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that the stamps are at the border and it is not stamped Helsinki but some rail station along the way ... so I am a bit nervous as well, but I think we both will be fine. I can totally understand the RFE, I didn't even think to send the passport stamps in the first submission. I though the Itineraries, credit card statements, and photos would be enough ... reckon not. :huh:

Hey guys. Just wondering, when do people usually receives notes about their NOA2? In the morning or evening? Do you think that CSC publishes the approvals as soon as they do approve a case or is it more likely they email every one at the end of their shift? Just curious.

See, that's my problem... I have 1 re-entry stamp to US which matches the date my ticket was returning but no passport stamps and I threw away the white receipts along with my used boarding passes for the planes.  UGH!  I had NO idea that I needed to keep that stuff and I'm such a pack rat with things like that!  So I submitted everything else I possibly could.  Itineraries & receipts (which I know don't show proof of travel), an email from the airline stating that the ticket shows "USED" in their system with a print out from the airline, an email from Jamaican "Homeland Security" stating that they don't stamp passports, a letter from my friend who was with me when I met him, bank statements showing debit card usage and withdrawals from Jamaican banks as well as "in air" purchases on the flights (mama needs her vacation cocktails!) as well as bag fees, more photos... PHEW!  I honestly have nothing else other than showing them how my bank account has been drained by constant travel to see him!  ha ha!

Wow Congrats.

I was just about to post how it's almost noon in CALI and no approvals for Friday

Call NVC a week from today and every other day until they give him the NVC number.

 

Get that DS-160 done if you haven't already.

 

What a great way to start your weekend
