NAO2 received, working on second half of information now!

7 months to the day that they received our application they approved it! One step down and what seems so many to go. A couple of things that have got my attention. The USCIS have not updated our information via the USCIS website. So when I received the notice in the mail I was very shocked and almost didn't believe it. I was checking the site up to 4 times a day! Should I contact them and ask why or just leave it for now??

Second in regards to the Affidavit of Support, the 2013 poverty thresholds have been posted. Do we consider us to be 1 family unit or 2?? Roughly a $4000 dollar differance. This is the website that I found it on. www.familiesusa.org/resources/tools-for-advocates/guides/federal-poverty-guidelines.html

Just curious so that I know how much they requrie me to have. Also please correct me if I need to be looking at a differant set of numbers or equation.

Looking forward to this new chapter and can't wait to get married to my love!!

For those of you who are still waiting, It's not easy and I hope that you have a wonderful support system. Prayers, good vibes, whatever you believe in I'm sending your way!

I don't think you should be worried. You could call if you want but if you got your NOA2 letter then that's all that really matters (in my opinion).

You'll be a family of 2. You must make more than 125% of poverty level for the amount of people that you'll be supporting in your household (including yourself). Do you have any kids even if they live with their father/mother (regardless if it's joint/full custody)?

Thanks for the feedback. It will only be the two of us, we don't have any children. I did find this as a guideline which put things into perspective.

Looks like the number they are looking at is $19,387.

Also please pardon my typo!! I'm so excited that I ended up saying NAO2 instead of NOA2!
