In case anyone is wondering, this is what the NOA2 looks like. 

 

I found out that the wonderful Russian ladies who have been talking to my fiance identified me by "Mike", "Michael and Yulia" and Sept 1 NOA1 date. If you read this, please message my Yuliashinka and tell her I love her so much.  

nice to see the golden ticket haha hope to get mines soon gods

 Willing  congrats again and God guide you on the rest of the journey

I know how you feel. I was Sept 1 but seeing people get approval for a week or two after me. If it helps you are 10 days after me and should hear something in a week or two at most. I called the USCIS people for the first time yesterday and they told me NOTHING. But my I-797 was approved and sent 6 days ago. Jerk could have told me but didn't. (maybe.. not sure of their system) 

Yeah... Yesterday my Fiancee called USCIS for the first time as well. They put her on a waiting list and said within 3 to 5 days tier2 is gonna call her back . Today I have 180 days . I have nobody, who would understand to tell this so I will talk this out here... I AM SO AFRAID, SO ANXIOUS , IN A LITTLE BIT OF DISTRESS. I ONLY WISH THEY WOULD FOLLOW AN ORDER. I am afraid that because my fiancee has a son or because over 12 years ago she was caught driving under alcoholic influence my case is gonna take more than a while, though we displayed the whole situation, providing so many legal and official papers such disposition, historic , all the courts papers till the last one when she was liberated ( it was just 1 year or less of penalty, she just did volunteer work and was prohibited to drive for a while.) . I myself  ( the beneficiary) was never involved in anything , not even parking or speed ticket did I  ever get in my whole life. I wanted to relax  , but with USCIS it is impossible.

I got my NOA2 Friday 3-9-2018 !!!!!!! 

 

NOA1  9-5-17

NOA2  3-3-18  (official)

177 days

No notice on app or web site

I use postal Informed Delivery and I knew when I woke at 7:30 am , that I had my letter in the mail that day!  Thank you Naes for your links and support of this forum.  I'm really glad I found this group.

 

Also I updated my timeline.

 

Now for NVC!!!

 

Relax and keep busy Septemberries your time will come. 

I was about to ask if us possible to be no updates on app or website but still receive in the mail ... now I know I can expect the miracle even if looks like nothing happens on website

Months ago I booked a two-week trip to go see my fiancé in April, long before my naive self knew that there was an adjudication estimate for our petition. And of course, as fate would have it, the adjudication estimate falls squarely in the middle of my trip.

There’s no one I can trouble to come collect my mail each day while I’m gone, so I have no choice but to place a mail hold. I am so worried that the NOA2 will arrive while I’m gone and I’ll have to wait up to 2 weeks to find out yes or no, and that I won’t get any update text or email from USCIS. And I’m assuming Informed Delivery will not notify me of incoming mail while it’s being held at the post office.

I can't believe the ironic timing of this!

Hello everyone, 

Another September filer here (noa1 09/18) and seriously, I feel so stupid cause I thought they were still doing August applications and so I didn't check VJ for quite some time and I finally did it now and what I found out is crazy. Omg, I can't truly believe we're so close! I wasn't expecting NOA2 for at least the end of the month, more likely mid April. But I guess we're close. 

I don't know what to say. I will update y'all as soon as I know something. 

In the meantime, it's nice to read your comments and see I'm not the only one desperate for the infinite wait. 

Ps, anyone from Italy? 

Good luck everyone!

For what it's worth, when I put my mail on hold, I still get Informed Delivery notifications of all my mail. The scans are done at another facility before it reaches your local post office, and that facility probably has no direct awareness of your hold mail request.

I am sorry for your anxiety however you are "only" at 180 days, the website shows August 1.

I am not going to go over why they can't do this in order or anything, I would check other month's topics though.

 

I don't believe a parking ticket or a DUI is not going to be the reason for anythings (as you are within normal processing times I don't even understand why you're worried about it yet.) Bu the way, Beneficiary's clearance is more important than the petitioner anyway.

I think you just need to find something that will make you stop thinking about the negative. This site will make people more crazy then they need to be. i've asked questions and the answers were completely wrong. I just nod and smile. It's helpful to see what's going on through VJ, but not one case is the same as the other. People can brag brag brag about how their case is perfect. There's no such thing. No two people will be asked the same sequence of questions during an interview. No two people will have the same background check come back in the same time. It is what it is. I've done background checks for work and got held up a few days just because they couldn't verify an old place of employment that was near impossible to get in touch with. Doesn't mean you have to do something BAD for something to be delayed. And it surely doesn't mean that just because two people spent 6 months together (myself) gets priority over someone who just spent one week together. We're all in the saaaame boat. We'll get there. I had a meltdown last night out of pure sadness of just wanting to hug my fiance. It happens... but I know deep down that I love him with my entire heart and soul and i'd rather go through this with him, then not go through it all with someone else. Think positive. stop stressing. don't spend too much time on here. people will drive you nuts with repetitive questions and comparisons. Good luck

100% agree (although not sure if the brag brag brag part was a stone to my head) 

 

Although I really do not believe the part "there is no perfect case", It is just a relationship and that's it. This part is all about what and how you do with the evidence. and if you just lived you're young and just live your life as a simple person there you go perfect case... however I don't believe this will help these "delays"

 

Every case is different, and we hear only the worst things going worst here, because nobody with a good story will actually stop by and write here.. that is how human nature works. We will hear anxious stories here (most likely because of some possibility of a possibility) nobody who's not anxious will even search it out...

Hence me saying from my point of view and as far as my research goes it must be an "easy case" but as I do not believe a case's easiness affects its processing time I am counting to see how this "easy" actually makes it "fast" 

 

Well hey I am day 177 and they jump skipped over my date let alone my case 

 

However, if you are going to help people here, please don't nod and smile to a wrong answer (which you don't really do.... ), correct it with evidence so people can actually get help,

instead of just not liking any answer you get if it is not the same with your idea.

Everyone here is trying to just help each other.

It happens regularly, and most people on vj actually get it only in the mail

They show mails you'll be getting that day.
