Mail. New and old website are not updated. And I didn’t receive an email or text even though I had signed up for notifications.

Same here.  My NOA2 showed up in the mail today too.  The funny thing is that Informed Delivery didn't scan it, because I had so many other mail items.

 

So basically, all of the services that I signed up for in order to be notified about my approval didn't work.

Wow, congrats to you both! Two in one day!

 

I tried calling the number but it seems to think my receipt number doesn't have enough digits. It begins with a WAC which I don't enter, but just enter the number following the WAC and it tells me not enough digits entered.

You should enter the WAC as 9-2-2.

We got ours today too! As soon as I saw someone post earlier that Informed Delivery showed a Homeland Security envelope, I checked USPS and saw NONE of the day's mail made it through the scanner. For some reason I just knew our NOA2 was in there! Luckily my fiance was outside as the mail truck came by and got it hand-delivered. No website, app, or notification updates. I'm at the tail-end of a two-month stay with my fiance in Florida so this is the best news to have before going home and on to the interview process in Canada. Today we get to celebrate! 

 

NOA1: March 4

NOA2: May 29

If you noticed when I first submitted the I-129-F and you did, somewhere around March the processing times was much higher at around 6-8 months. However, it has been rapidly going down, which is expected around this time of year. There's such a spike of applications after the summer time romance in the air lol, probably because this is the time most people have an opportunity to travel. I figure right after the holidays most of us are broke or did not travel around this time, so there are less applications being submitted. Anyway, that's just my speculation.

There's definitely some seasonal variation in the numbers of applications, but processing times were still high over last winter. They went up a lot in early 2017 topping out in the 6-7 month average range, and started falling in mid-2018 to where they are now.

Congratulations! Was March 4 your receipt date or notice date? Mine are March 1 and March 6 respectively...

Thanks, that worked. No change in my status, however.

We mailed it March 1, it's dated as received March 4, and the website has the last status change marked as March 8 (we got notice in the mail March 8 as well).

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten their NOA2! Can't say I'm not a tiiiiiiiny bit envious but it just means ours is coming soon! Just curious, how did the timing match up with receiving your NOA2's and what your timeline was estimating for receiving it?

[oflyingbunnyo 119]

lol, does it happen to anyone else where you say? 

"You know what? I'm not gonna check anything today, matter of fact, I'm not gonna check anything for a week!" 

Only to miserably fail and check everything at least once a day 😂

[oflyingbunnyo 119]

Honestly, we sent it off the 14th of March, they received it the 18th and got NOA1 by the 22. 

I highly doubt that we would get anything by next week according to VJ estimates , it just seems to good to be true hahaha. 

So my mind is set on hopefully getting something by late June to early July or perhaps Mid-June, if it's a RFE at least they touched one's case so better be grateful

Our VJ estimate was June 15 last week then just last night updated to “Any Day Now” then bam we got the NOA2. I’ve been watching this forum for the last two weeks seeing people get approvals and trying not to get antsy, but in our case the VJ estimate was bang on.
