Hey everyone, slightly confused about the avidat of support forms my fiance and her mum (joint sponsor) need to fill out. It says in the instructions to send them to the chicago lockbox, but i thought i needed to bring this with me to my interview for evidence? any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We have been approved a few days ago, but there is no update or notice by email, not even the USPS app warned us. Totally silent

 

NOA1: 09/13/2017
NOA2: 03/09/2018
Received: 03/17/2018. Updated timeline.

 

the silent NOA2 full of an indescribable emotion

 

Thankful for the @Naes scans you will soon have your NOA2, I will be on the lookout to congratulate you, you deserve it.

Yessss! I am a sept 21 as well! Congrats

 

I’m glad you’re a Canadian/American couple as well as I’ve heard of Canadian petitions being a little delayed for some reason (you would think we’d be the fastest to get through). Glad that wasn’t the case for you and hoping it’s not for me either!

Hi guys, I’m a long time lurker who just wanted to congratulate everyone who was approved so far.

 

I’m crossing my fingers that the rest of us will receive good news next week.

Yup it's definitely not cheap. The most expensive part of this process for most people won't be the green card fee though. It will be unemployment for four or more months while awaiting work authorization.

Not to be a party pooper, but get ready....all those weekends are gonna feel more painful.  I have been waiting for 2 whole weeks for NVC to receive my approved noa2. we are on a weekend again and Friday was awful since they didn't have an assigned case# for me either.  I am trying to cheer you guys....the reality is more intense at NVC. Just a little more and interview will be a breeze and we all get our loved ones home!!!

@LizM I am sorry, somehow i tried to delete your quote and it didn't work. It didn't allow me to post and that's why it got added to what i wanted to post. Using Chrome browser on a chromebook.

Once I saw the scans that @Naesposted yesterday had reached my NOA1 date, I checked the app. I know many people have had no updates on the app, but for us the case was updated on the app. We live overseas though so the hardcopy might take up to two weeks to reach us.

I landed back in Zurich this morning and as soon as my mister woke up, he facetimed me, and said he

has to send me something, sent me a text with a pic:

 

 

You don't see the 1/1 part but below you see the text (not clear in this picture though cos i had to resize)

where it says: your petition has been approved!!! 

 

WE GOT APPROVED!! UAHHHH!!!!!  how ironic the day I left and landed back home!

 

NOA1 - Sept 8

NOA2 - will let you know as soon as we get the hardcopy but estimate March 13 (stamp on letter for postage)

 

 

 

PS: no updates online of course...!

Congratulations! 😃🎉

We are all very happy for you, but really? Are you serious? The majority of this thread is waiting every day for the one letter we've been all waiting for 6 months +-, the one you got 2 weeks ago, really? Waiting 2 weeks for a case number cant be worse than being without a clue about your petition. You are approved, that's it, celebrate and start organizing the next steps.

Sorry, i was being selfish. Been there done my time also...210 days for NOA2 here also. I am not kidding...i almost blew a gasket, when the agent on Friday wouldn't tell me nothing other than it takes weeks to get a case #.

I understand your frustration, but you are inside normal processing time, it will come.
