So they are alive and working up there!!! Congrats! I love seeing that you filed in September, 2 months closer for us.

This makes me so happy! They are moving right along! Congrats!! Can't wait for ours.

Based on their website it says that it takes a while for them to update your file online... also your file can be sent straight to the embassy and your fiancee would get the notice before you. So for all you know your file could already be approved since the past few weeks we have been seeing a few people announce their approval and they applied in August.

Sorry i am not the expert but based on what i have read here and what our attorney has told us and my own calculations by the end of this month the Vermont office should be well done with the paperwork they received through September. Which means I am 2 months closer!

If you do the math the updated website is one month behind so it makes sense that people from august are seeing a approval since we are now in feb. When they update the site for the feb workload it should say they are working on sept submits.

congratulations, your approval gives us all hope! Best of luck for the rest of your journey.

We all seem to have the same timeline. Based on the website they should be processing our paperwork soon.

Who provides you with the estimated dates?

Thanks everyone for all your feedback.

Also can someone please tell me what an NOA is?

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions because everytime i start to read these entries i get even more confused and scared. So if someone can please break down the below for me i would greatly appreciate it.

1. Does having a lawyer help?

We are paying an arm and a leg for ours and I need to make sure that this will help and most importantly move the process along faster. What is your experience?

2. How long does it really take? We are looking to send everything out this week?

How long will it really take from now to the interview?

3. What are they really looking for during the interview?

4. Should I be there? Will they let me go in with him?

5. What do all these packets mean? Tonight is the first night i am reading about them.

Please help, any feedback advice will help.
