Probably tmi, but I was in the hospital so sick. He slept in my hospital bed with me. I had this drain tube coming from my stomach and the nurse thought we were so cute laying there that she didn't want to bother us so she didn't empty it in the night and it exploded all over. He didn't run away in fact he sat there with me all day with that nastiness on his clothes and we had only been together for 3 months 😮 In sickness and in health right?

I will add that my grandfather was in the same hospital at the same time and he passed. So in addition to sitting around with my bodily fluid on his clothing, poor Rashed was meeting much of my family for the first time.

Thanks everyone! Fiancé finally made it home to get the NOA2 hard copy. So it's officially official. 124 days to approved, with notice date August 5th which is strange because that's a Saturday. Apparently USCIS works on weekends! Who knew? lol Fingers crossed they're finally putting in overtime for speedy approvals! 

 

Again for anyone curious:

Sent March 24th

Received March 28th

NOA1 April 3rd

NOA2 August 5th

CONGRATS!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

 

I signed up for informed delivery with USPS on last week.  Each day that I have checked it, I have seen nothing. I have been consistently receiving mail each day. Why is it not showing up with the informed delivery?

It can be hit or miss.  Sometimes I get the picture, and sometimes I don't.  Give it a few more days.

Wow! I met my honey two years and three days ago.  We were really good friends at first and it blossomed into such a caring and loving relationship.  He is the second oldest of six siblings and has this protective and nurturing side to him that I have grown to love and adore.  I am 5 years older than him and I have been married before, so I really observed him alot at the beginning of meeting him to see his maturity level and how he thinks.  He has definitely exceeded my expectations and I'm so happy that he is in my life.  We were blessed with a beautiful baby boy on March 24, 2017.  I traveled to Nigeria this past July with our son so that my fiance can interact with him for the first time. It was such a lovely moment to see.  Leaving after the trip was one of the hardest departures at the airport.  We just keep telling ourselves that its all worth it and one day we will be together as a family and see this process as a little blimp in our lives.

 

I am thankful to all of you that understand that this is not an easy process.  I am grateful that due to this process, I have really had the opportunity to build a solid foundation with my fiance and we truly understand each other.  I know if he lived here locally with me, then we wouldn't have built such a solid foundation. Here's to seeing my NOA2 approvals and seeing our loved ones soon!

I feel like Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day", living the same day over and over.  Feels life is on hold waiting for NOA2 and not knowing when it will come.

 

Each day I walk up hopeful, and at the end of the day I go to sleep depressed.  I just think it has to end some time...

You have a sweet and nice story to read about. I believe that age is just a number when we are in love and have great connection with our loved ones. Congratulations for the baby boy. Hopefully you will get Noa2 approval soon and no more long distance for you, your fiance and the baby. May God bless all of you

I met mine online in a chatroom when I was 15 .. I thought he was so handsome and out of my leaaague. And you know what..he said Hi to me in the main chat and we started private chatting. Ofc we were only friends cuz we were young,but we always said we'd visit eachother after we left school (thats when I lived Canada)...However life happened and we fell in and out of touch and everytime we fell back , the feelings was always the same. So there was this storm that was to hit the islands and bam he pops up cuz he was worried and well ..here we are 11 years later. Crazy how I get to marry my Teenage love and Im still friends with some people from that site til this day so we actually have mutual online friends too.

That is soooo sweet

Ugh my timeline has moved to the 25th now 

 

I need lots of NOA2 news for all of you early April filers to boost my spirits!

Wow, they seriously worked on April yesterday

Not only on April 5th, that got 11 RFE's and a NOID (12 visible actions out of 67 cases... they really dag it hard on that one), plus another NOID for April 4th  and 12 RFE's more for April 3rd... and that's only things we can see.

Will they be back to a 'normal' working rate? We can always hope
