I do know, some spanish words too...

seems we have a lot in common, cuz

Hey Kaushalia,

I sent it on May 26th and my NOA1 receipt is of June 1st. Sad!

i pray you receive it very soon i heard one forum that a person called their senator (before the 5 months) and explained that they see other people getting there noa2s and the senator contacted uscis and they received their noa2 within a week. i do not know if it is coincidence or what, but i think u will will get yours by the end of next week

Omg,

I have done the same, but the lady just told me well you have to remember they have a lot of background checks and your husband is in Pakistan and blah blah blah.
I said some people from Pakistan have gotten their approval and from what I understand, they don't do the name checks anymore.
My problem is that I need an interview date in December. I have school right now and they only break I have is in December. But right now even the first step is pending and moreover I dont have a sponsor LOL.

So much for a visa!

Thank you everyone for your comments regarding everything. Glad to see someone from Pakistan get approved, gives me hope.

Just don't know what I am doing wrong that God is so mad at me!

I hope everyone gets their approval soon.

good luck, sister i hope you can get your sponsor soon

sister dont be worried i m from pakistan and my NOA 1 date is 3rd june and i got the approval , u will also get ur approval very soon INSHALLAH keep on pryaing , and i hope u can easily get interveiw date in december . best of luck

umm not sure... i have never done it.. SORRY!

i guess maybe you could, as long as you were back in your country for the interview etc..... others seem to have done it. but dont take my word for it.

how is everyone?

K, i dont think i will join that group then. i havent ever even ventured into the off topic forums, and i wont start now hehe. i tried the Aussie forums, and even they wouldnt talk to me, so i'm sticking with my June buddies!

That's okay, we like ya just fine.

Thanks bankermai, congratulations on your approval! You must be very excited. I am hoping I will get it soon as well.

Congratulations to the new approval! We received our NOA2 almost at the same time and glad to see that our case was touched for the first time. I just hope hubby will get the NOA2 soon but having a doubt as I am from the Philippines and they might have longer process on our papers! But there's nothing we could do but to wait, have patience and think positive. We are glad to know that someone is checking our papers! NOA2 please go to our own specific mailbox!

Goodluck everyone!

hey donna, it is good not to go to the dark side we can always talk if you wanna

Hi Mr&MrsWrest,

I know its good to see approvals from the same timeline! Same with you, we got touched last week and that was the first time! Goodluck to your journey and hopefully me and your wife will be in US byt thanksgiving or Christmas.

Anyone receive a hardcopy version of their NOA2? Mine was sent 8/21 and I haven't seen anything in the mailbox yet...

our approval was on 25 august we r also waiting for the hard copy

I did not recieve it yet. NOA1 took 3 days from the time it was sent so I believe I'll get it Monday.

hey guys, hows it going?!?!

i am home alone on a Saturday night!! woo hoo. (i live with my parents at the moment as it is cheaper before i move to the US, when i finally get approved that is)

i miss my hubbbbyyyyyyy!!!! but dont we all!?!?!? (or wifey) hehe

god, i think im going insane!

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD its been TWO MONTHS today since my NOA1..

come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn USCIS!!!!!! hehe

it's coming donna, soon

I am looking NOA 2 cuz.. Its coming

Just got the Hardcopy this afternoon in my mailbox. Good stuff.

got our NOA2 hard copy today

congrats!

Come join us in the August NVC group! :3! And congrats again!

Just checkin on my June buddies.

Got our NOA2, but then all forward progress stopped. No NVC Case number yet... everybody says the NVC flies, but so far, they haven't been flyin' for us.

Hurry up and get your approvals, kids, so we can all do September NVC together.

hi julie from what i hear (by eavesdropping on previous cases, ) is that it takes 10-14 days after your NOA2 to get your NVC number.

We are coming to join you, sister

Hello everyone! Any new approvals?? Congratulations to those who got their NOA2 hardcopy! Our papers were touched August 21 and no update after that! Hope approval is on the way for this week! I miss hubby so much!

Goddluck guys!

Yay metro, you got touched???

No news here yet..... Waiting patiently

Yes Donna! Finally our papers was touched but I think they are checking a lot of stuff in our application as I am from Philippines but I hope it wont take long to approve it. I miss my husband so much and I know you feel the same thing! You are right, nothing we can do but to wait patiently! I hope all of the June filers will go for the NVC process by next week!

Goodluck on your papers!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! I woke up, go to my email, and i saw an email saying that my case is APPROVED!!!!!!

On Igor's list up to yesterday, i was ranked 91, and couldn't believe that we just got approved. I'm actually counting the days since i sent the I-130, and they approved it in 71 days.

I'm not the most verbal in this June filer forums but i do read everyone's replies and messages here. Goodness gracious, i'm in shock!!! I hope you guys will get yours soon too.

OH MY GOD AWESOME!

good on you!

that is worth screaming about hehehe xox

Congratulations! We are still waiting...and I am starting to worry that we might receive RFEs as I filled out the G325A forms with incorrect/incomplete info....No touch since July...and I just remember that touch is actually for my change of address only with USCIS....

Sigh...I miss my husband in Hong Kong so much, and to maintain this long distance relationship is really not easy. We go through ups and downs...days that I'm depressed and down, and then days that he's depressed and not happy. And it seems that we are still so far away from getting him here, yet so close when reading through every one's approval.

At least, finacially and in reality, it would be better if his interview is not till next year. I've already planned a 10-day vacation in November to go visit him. There's no way I can take a few weeks off by the end of this year to accompany him to his interview and to come back with him. I really want to go to the interview with him, and fly back with him eventually....

Glad to hear that CSC is slowly moving along...but it's also sad to read that some VJers waited 5+ months for their approvals....there's just so much uncertainty in this whole process...

Good luck and best wishes, every one!

a huge CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!

thanks. i was pinching and hitting my face to see if it's just a dream or not. i just woke up when i found out about the approval. hehehe i'm expecting the hard copy to arrive today, since online it said that they sent it on aug. 28. maybe some of you guys will get approved in the next coming days. so hang on tight.

very cool

It is always fun to see Igor's list move up

All these approvals are making me super tense!

I'm checking the website sooo much and I haven't had one touch since 29 June!

I'm off to get more vaccination shots completed tomorrow night, and I checked up on the progress of my police report so I'm gonna be set to go when we get approved!

The shots are full on, has anyone else been preparing theirs!?

The reason I ask is because I hadn't had about 8 of them and the hepatitis shots are done in three doses so I was lucky I got onto it asap!

Plus, they hurt, so I'm getting 3 each fortnight

Next week would be a dream come true wouldn't it?!

Ooohhhhhhh I hope we all get good news soon

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations!!!! Wishing you a smooth and fast journey

Isn't that just the most glorious feeling??? We were @ #84 when approved. It was such a shock!

Congratulations! I guess we'll all be together in a September NVC thread.

Is there already a thread for this? Also I've called the NVC a few times, not showing my case as received yet...

Not that I've seen, Kballtex. I suspect you and I will both be on it when it appears, however. I still have no case number. We were approved 13 days ago, so I'm getting a bit impatient.

got e-mail this morning Aug 30, that it was approved August 29, 09!!!!

Why are you getting so many shots? Is there really that many shots that need to be taken?

I don't understand the freaking USCIS. I have noticed some people have been waiting since January, and others don't have to wait at all. And luck doesn't or shouldn't matter with legal processes. They say they approve the petitions in the order received, well they obviously haven't done so. I wish there was a group of people protesting this. Although I am happy for everyone who got approved, I am kinda mad as well. Why do some people have to wait longer????????????????????????????

LIFE IS SOOOOO UNFAIR!

You have to remember that everyone's situation is different. Yes, it stinks completely to watch other people get approvals, but we really *don't* know how USCIS works.

I have theories as to why I was approved so quickly - my husband has a CSIS clearence, we've already proven our relationship because I immigrated from the US to Canada and was approved by Canadian Immigration. But who knows.

Yes you are right, in your case that must be true. But I filed on June 1st and people from July have started receiving their approvals. At first I thought, maybe it's because my husband is from Pakistan, but a few Pakistani have also been approved. Anyway it's really frustrating. We wait everyday, I check the mail again and again, and also my email. My husband is really disappointed. We have been away for 8 months now. We didn't file earlier in February or so because of some problems. But now it's getting really annoying. Well I am glad you got approved. Thanks.

Hello VJ people....My husband wake meup so early at 4am in the morning...just to tell me the good News.. we recieve an email from the USCIS today... for me and our 2 girls. SAYING:
