Oh gosh, you're right. I somehow glossed over it. Thanks for the response!

Oh, i thought I was waiting for NVC to contact me with a welcome letter and login details. So... Is it not necessary to wait?

We're all here waiting for the good news on yours. I'm sure you already did the math, but if you get approved Feb 27, then USCIS got to you at relatively the same speed as they got to me. Let's call it Mar 1 to account for the USCIS Valentine's day festivities.

We received our approval a few days ago, and the "later" additional evidence did not seem to have any effect on the AR2/NOA2 date, based on the abundance of other approval reports beginning to be posted here. HTH, and good luck.

I just received an email from USCIS an hour ago, "we have taken an action on your case". Logging in still shows AR2, and the documents tab still does the approval. All the case tracking apps still show AR. The only difference is when the AR date changes. The moment it changed is when i began to see the I-130 Approval in the documents tab.

Hey, one man's neurosis is another man's sensibility. Hope is a scarce asset these days, but is the sensible niche of the neurotic. So rebrand and profit, I say!

Way more pathetic (or maybe graceful is a better word) than that. Are you ready? Silly question; you spent more than a day looking into being a mole at USCIS. OF COURSE you're ready. I was doing what i imagine you and most other people do here to stave off the insanity... Going through the various topics, sprinkle hope, refresh my USCIS status page, repeat. Well, in between one post and the next, the AR date changed. And so I went to the Documents tab, and there it was: the I-130 Approval. I discovered it before any app sent me any notification. The USCIS "Case status" tab still shows AR2, but the NOA2 is clearly in the Documents tab. So if your posting around here is any indication, i imagine your experience will be just as pathetic and/or graceful. 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck!

Thanks! The journey isn't over, of course, this is just a major milestone. I think you can fairly expect an update soon, too, actually, just in the last week i saw my VJ estimate go down, and today was ahead of the estimate it gave just hours before the AR2.

Thank you! Participating in these forums has been positive outlet for my impatience!

AR2 and NOA2 I-130 Approval literally minutes ago! I-130 online filing. 2022/FEB/05 : PD to TSC 2022/FEB/05 : Case silently transferred to Potomac 2022/FEB/05 : AR1 2022/JUL/16 : uploaded unsolicited evidence 2022/JUL/19 : uploaded more unsolicited evidence 2023/FEB/17 : AR2, NOA2 my timeline

Literally just received the AR2 and NOA2 minutes ago. Hopefully this news serves as an encouragement for you.

Well, moments after responding, I checked again, and the case showed as updated TODAY. I logged on, went into Documents and saw "I-130 Approval". After sharing the news with my wife, I wanted to share this with you, hopefully to serve as encouragement that the information here has been far more realistic and encouraging than the hopeless despair of endlessly refreshing the USCIS user portal.

PD and AR1 are Feb 5 2022. My VJ Timeline

Maybe you meant Jan 2022. I'm Feb 2022 at Potomac and still waiting "longer than expected" (says USCIS).

Hi, I'm a Feb 2022 filer, and I don't know anything about a "first in first out" assurity. Wouldn't it be great if that was the case, but the best we have is a general idea. If your case is like mine, the "your case is being actively reviewed" (or we call it "AR" around here) will stay in that status the entire time, until the "RFE" or "NOA2". I filed electronically on Feb 5 2022. The electronic filing was received to the Texas Service Center on Feb 5 2022. That was the last update. That was 377 days ago. Another user mentioned chatting with USCIS via ”Emma" as a means to find out if my case was transferred... Turns out that indeed it was! Also on Feb 5 2022, to Potomac Service Center. No mention of that in the USCIS user portal. Based on the crowd-souce info that others and ourselves provide, we are fairly confident that this type of "service" is normal. That the "general idea" about time is fairly accurate. I have seen numerous posts about the estimated date passing, and the obvious disappointment associated with that, then 2 days or 2 weeks later they are posting that it was finally approved. So hang in there. Try not to get discouraged if someone who filed after you gets approved before you. You can expect it. As for me and my wife, we pray about it, and the rest is out of our hands. Our job is to live committed and grow, regardless of the circumstances. It hasn't always been easy, but I think the challenges that we all share contribute to a truly devoted partnership with our spouses.
