After getting your NOA2, you’ll want to follow the above thread for info on the NVC stage.

Congratulations 😀

We just got ours this past Monday. Our embassy is Sweden as well. I believe NVC needs to assign their new case number and send to the embassy before we can make interview and med appointments. 

AWW so awesome fellow Swedes! Thanks for the clarification I was a little confused by that!!! One step closer😀😀

Oh my God! We got approved. My fiancee just called me to tell me that and sent a copy of our approval to me. Apparently we got approved on the 10th of July and received the hard copy today.

 

Old site says received, app says received new site says received. 

Received date; 12/29/2017

NO1; 01/4/2018

N02; 07/10/2018

Stay strong y'all we all getting approved. Ours obviously is a silent approval.

Congrats 🎊🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Let's keep the party started even after we have moved to the US. Anyone live around SF Bay Area? We might want to inspire each other on how to kill time during AOS!

Are you seeing any approvals after July 10....I’m using an app also...but not as skilled as you. From what I can see...nothing after July 10...meaning it seems no one is getting answers the last few days. 

I saw a couple in December go through today.  a 20th, two 29ths.  Unfortunately the app seems to overload the uscis site, which notices a huge amount of requests per a given IP. Then it locks the entire IP out (both the app AND any online checks of my number).  So maybe what the app is doing isn't "cool".  Worked for awhile.  The saving grace is I'm traveling, so hopefully I'll be on a different IP tomorrow.  Lesson learned!  don't go overboard with the app!

Hello,

 

How do you guys manage to find out how many applications USCIS scanned, on what day, etc? Would anyone mind sharing? Thank you so much.

We just got our NOA2!!!! It says they'll hand the case over to the NVC in 2 to 4 weeks and then send it off to the US embassy in Sweden.  Does that mean that we can book the interview now and the doctors appointment ?! Did anyone else get their NOA2 ?if so CONGRATS!!!!

And congrats Itsnikk!! Very exciting!

Need hard copy of of noa2 for interview and medical. But, can schedule oppentment with just the number. Seems it takes a couple weeks to get appointments. Why it's best to get call and get number and set up oppentment prior to receiving hard copy.

@Snuffles what would you miss the most from Aussie that you wouldn't find in Ohio?

I'm lucky I still get some ingredients from Asian market to make some Indonesian food. What would you do during AOS? I heard the process is getting longer and longer and getting EAD/AP could take 6 months!

 

To be honest I'm not worried about getting NOA2. Our time will come soon. But we still have a long way after POE til getting GC. I'm thinking of doing yoga everyday, start planting some veggies and maybe raising some chicken so we will get fresh eggs even though i don't think my fiance and our landlord would approve hahaha. We live in a quiet village 1 hour drive from the city of San Francisco. So I will have to adjust to a more slow life which is very different from my current life as a big city girl! My biggest challenge will be driving from the right side of the road. Have you checked how long do you have to wait til you can get a DL in your state?
