We received NOA2 approval through the App on friday but we still haven't received the text or email, is this pretty normal? Also, will it be about 5 business days before we receive the NOA2 hard copy?

Does the website back up what the app told you?

I just realized we need to double check whatever word comes out of uscis... doesn't matter electronic or verbal! 🤣

Text and email is not important as long as uscis website shows it approved. 4-10 days for hard copy.

They don't always use the text or email notifications. Just like they don't always update online.

On a lighter note. Do you reckon my fiance and I can get married in Vegas? We will be living in Utah but I want an Elvis wedding.

Ha Ha that's what I thought about doing, too. Doesn't matter where as long as it's a legal U.S. wedding within 90 days of P.O.E.

Heck yes!!! We don't want to have a huge extravagant wedding because it's too stressful so Vegas would be rad. I am stoked now. I thought it wasn't an option for some reason.

My other option I thought would be cool was stopping in Hawaii for a cheap beach wedding then flying to the mainland. The Vegas wedding would be sweet though and I might still do that, but I live in the Midwest so that means another flight and more expenses.

How do I know how long it takes in the embassy of my country to make the appointment? Is there a website I can go to?

Thank you so much, I don't know if that's accurate. But you rock!

That's vj but it is "average" so it can be shorther or longer. The official websites only show how long it takes to issue.

 

personally, I would find someone on vj who went through it recently and check how it happened for them.

 

for example for me japan says 38 days right now on average, but I know May filers who got it in 3 weeks from NVC to interview.

Hi everyone. I am a july 10 filer and im at 207th day of waiting for NOA2.  I have been following 12-13 cases before me and 4 cases after me, and we are all on received status. Given the approvals for july that was sent out and the way USCIS updates the results online and the app, is this an indication that our NOA2 could probably be in the mail? I am getting frustrated as my fiance is losing faith in it too.....im hopeful it comes this week....

[DeepakChani 738]

Time for Sunday evening prayer: God please make the USCIS approve tons more cases this week. Amen.
