Congratulations!! I just checked your status today and it was still no NOA2 on your timeline. Good to hear you have been approved! On my NOA there is a box that says "Notice Type: Approval Notice Valid from 05/13/2013 to 09/12/2013 Consulate: TOKYO". I wonder why yours doesn't say which consulate.

I called the CSC today and they said that leaving out the consulate was an error on their part. They said that they will send me a new copy in at least 15 days~ Easy peasy~

Just got home and opened my mail, I saw a letter from Homeland Security and was thinking it was going to be an RFE or something of that nature, I was wrong. It was our NOA2!! I can't believe it! (CSA for those who are wondering).

I noticed on the NOA2 is stated that the petition is approved and "forwarded to the listed consulate." However, there isn't a consulate listed anywhere on the form. I am assuming it is the Embassy in Tokyo. Where do I go to confirm that?

Also, my fiance scheduled a trip next month to come to the US for our friend's wedding (not ours) for 10 days. Will that be a problem?

Yoshi and Beth,

Congrats! That's great.

I don't know why it doesn't list the consulate, but if you're in Japan it is my understanding that the only two places for interviews are in Tokyo and Okinawa. My fiance just had hers in Tokyo 2 days ago.

So that doesn't help you with the consulate. But it does tell you where your interview will be.

And regarding the trip: most people say to just come and be honest at the border and have ready proof that the fiance is returning to the home country, not planning to just stay in US and get married. Of course, my fiance came and just kinda' fibbed about her plans. She was here in the US for 2 weeks, said she was visiting friends and checking out schools. The customs/border folks just let her through. I don't know that its advisable though.

Good luck!
