So here I've been fretting for over a week since my application was recieved. I still had no NOA1. I've been hounding my sister (address back in the States). I've been pestering people (and whining a little) about NOA1 wait times and I've been filling in the blanks and decided that there MUST have been a problem.

Well, I guess the problem is that they didn't see the need to send a NOA1 since it would be sent out almost at the same time as the NOA2! Our package was accepted via express mail on the 23rd and it was approved on the 28th! I can't believe how fast that was. Really?!?!?! 3 days?!?!?!?!. I wish everyone gets to cross that staffers desk!

I am thrilled, so is my fiance. We hope the rest of the process goes as smooth. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

YIPPEEEEE!!!!!!!

Have Mercy! Wow, was that ever quick!! Congratulations and God bless you both . (F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Tony,

I don't have any idea how I was approved before you two! I've been looking at your timeline everyday, I figured I'd be a week or two behind you. I'm in shock to be truthful. Now we have to get all the documents in order before the NOA2 expires! We have to wait for a police record from Canada which I hear can take a while. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. It seems like we can barely celebrate one hurdle passed before we are trying to leap over another one.

I have great hope that you will be only a day or two behind!

Thanks to all of you for the warm wishes!

Sue
