Hi everyone in South Africa!  My fiancé and I are almost done in our process, she lives in South Africa and I live in the Seattle Washington area.  It took us 5 months to get our NOA2, so be prepared

The studies actually helped keep me sane. But I am really glad the hard part is over. I will keep on thinking about all the rest still waiting for the approval. It will come I have a good feeling about this week.

Congratulations @Vintage girl You truly deserve it... NVC is the next and then Interview... Wishing you a very good one. I am sure by now your face hurts from a lot of smiling whenever you think about your case approval, it will hurt more when your interview is finally approved. Stay blessed... :)

Hi

Can you guide me through the process after the NOA2? How do you know your case has been received by NVC?

How long did you wait for your case number at NVC?

I know that after NVC you have to follow up with embassy to ask for package 3 I just want the estimate timeline for package 3 after NOA2 approval.

I've been quiet but am following your case. My NOA 1 was Feb 7th, so I figure if neither of us get RFEs, I am two months behind you! 

Good luck and keep us posted :-)
