Congrats!

Thank you We are very excited about all of this. It's quite a scary process, even if it _is_ fairly straightforward!

Congratulations! It is a great feeling, I remember how awesome that day was for Melinda and I. Hoping that your process goes smoothly and that you can be together soon

Rob and Melinda

Thank you I am hoping that we will be together in about 17 weeks. If all goes well, I should also be approved by then. We can proceed to return to the USA together Well, I can hope

Congrats!

I'm still waiting for mine... but so happy for you!

I'm sure yours will come along soon I was most anxious during this process, although my better half had done such an awesome job on the initial application that we were fairly sure there would be no holdups (200 pages of it, in total - all cross referenced )

Such a heart-wrenching process to go through, but the end results are more than worth the wait

Congrats that's good news

:grins: We are so very happy about this It made it impossible to work on Friday afternoon (found out in the afternoon due to the time difference, lol) because I was bouncing off the walls, very giddily

Now we have the next 1-2 month wait while they send packets places and send me Packet III

Congrats & best of luck with the rest of your journey!!!!

Thank you - I know we still have a little way to go, but we are so very hopeful now after the first major hurdle has been passed - getting the NOA-2

Been talking with my colleagues about when we get the final approval and they have said that they may even be able to shorten my 2-month notice period requirement to 1 month

I can't wait to be with my baby once and for all. We have waited for so long for this, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her

Another Nov NOA2er. Aww right!!!

:hi5: We are all getting there Heh, maybe things will speed up a little due the usual "summer rush" that seems to happen at Embassies

Congratulations

Why thank you

Hmm, these all seem to be coming under the same reply - wonder if it is because I opened up the "replies" in tabs in FF first

She, I, and our respective families are so happy at the news

I am trying to not be jealous since our NOA1 from California was a couple of weeks before yours.

However, on your comments, since my husband is from the UK we have been looking at the history of the Londond Embassy and I think you can be more optomistic concerning interview date. It seems to be fairly common for the Packet 3 sent by the London Embassy to arrive 3-4 weeks after approval (and rare to be more than 5 weeks) and when you respond to Packet 3, the Embassy figures out when your interview is (from what I can figure out). However, after rsponding to Packet 3, the time people wait for an interview does seem to vary significant, For example, there are 7 people on visajourney indicating an interview in London in January and after responding to Packet 3 they waited anywhere from 3 to 12 weeks for an interview. So I think if you respond promptly to Packet 3 the beginning of May is the absolutely latest for the interview but could be earlier. (You can use the timeline search function to search for this type of information ... it is very helpful.)

Oooh, thank you - that makes me feel even happier Now we just have to talk with her parents to see if they could afford to have the wedding earlier than planned :grins:

Thank you for the information re: the timeline search. It's a very powerful tool that I hadn't really got to grips with.

Oooh, hopefully if we are very lucky, things will speed through nicely I aim to get Packet III sent off within 48 hours of receiving it - I want this to process as quickly as possible

Congratulations.

Thank you We feel like the luckiest people ever at the moment Even more so when we get through the interview and are finally past immigration in the US of A

Congratulations Lots of approvals this morning

There were indeed looks like the service centre had people on caffeine drips or something :grins: I'm not going to complain though

CONGRATULATIONS! :dance:Another mile marker past both of you now. Next will be the interview, Best Wishes on your journey!!!

:grins: We are certainly looking forward to getting past all of this. As we keep saying - that's something to tell our kids about :grin:

Congrats!

Thank you By the way, cool avatar!

That is really great news!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! to you both. ENJOY!!!!

Hehe, we will do, thank you It seems like a process that will never end, but we have seen the light at the end of the tunnel (and other such aphorisms) and are working hard towards it

Great - Good Luck!

Thank you I would say "We'll need it", but this seems to be going well so far. We are just following instructions and filling forms as needed :nods:

I can't wait for this to be over

Congrats!!

Thank you - that is most kind of you I'm so glad of all the support we have found on here - reading peoples stories, hints, and tips really doeos help us to feel like we're not alone

Congrats!

Thank you Trying to go through the USCIS website left us very confused - this site has helped us both very very much!

Thank you It's so good to have such an amazing support group

Congratulations and good luck on your further journey!

Thank you Whilst we know we will need all the luck in the world (as people do when dealing with beaurocratic nightmares like these ) we are buoyed up by the support and stories on here.

All being well, we should be married in July/August
