Found out 5 minutes ago......APPROVED :dancing: Second time around for us.

Off to NVC. :dance:

Refiled .... it has been a difficult and very long journey. We were stuck in AP the first time around for 16 months, then refused

the visa and petition expired. Hope to succeed this time around.

I am so happy that you are approved, and it has been a very long journey for you guys. Did they send you an email of approval or a text message or both? I hope everything will go fast for you guys from now on!

Thank you, I received an email at 9:30 pm that we were approved, I did not sign up for text so I wouldn't spazz out when at work or it would have been an unprofessional "Excuse me but I have to check my phone" kind of moment ^_^

I figured any day now and though it was not a 2 week speed approval

2 moths is great considering how long we have been on this journey. Took us almost month the first time around at CSC.

Wow, I see more and more people receive emails later at night. It's interesting because I thought they have business hours. Well any way... any time is good :)

Hi fellow filers,

It's been 16 days since our NOA2. I called the NVC today and after a huge wait on hold, a very nice agent informed me that my petition has been forwarded to the consulate! :dance:

Apparently the petition was received 5/29 and sent out to the consulate on 6/2. That's an amazing 2 business day turn around!

They also gave me a case number over the phone, which I can now view the status online here:

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

Best of luck everyone and I hope your journeys keep moving along!

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. He's on his way to the embassy right now. Since he can't take his phone, it's going to be an agonizing 8-9 hour wait! I'll update tonight and I'll be sure to post a review of the interview for those going through Manila.
