OMG!! This is not a drill....MY NOA2 IS ON ITS WAY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm literally so happy I could cry and scream and freak the eff out! I have goosebumps!!!

 

I have very mixed feelings about posting this because I know there are many of you with NOA1 way before mine that are still waiting, but I'm hoping that it helps others to see I got positive result from contacting my senator. I feel so bad that mine was approved before others because I know how it feels, but I wanted to share so you guys can try contacting your senator also. His office inquired with USCIS on July 24th and coincidentally my case was (according to the email below) approved on July 25th. I can only assume the inquiry prompted them to pull my case and approve the petition. Here's the text of the email I received back from my Senator's office. Took some text out for privacy. 

 

Hello Traci,

 

I received the below response from USCIS in regards to your case. Good news – you should soon have the approval notice in the mail! Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Thank you,

 

Immigration Specialist

Good Morning,

 

Thank you for your July 24, 2017, inquiry on behalf of your constituent, XXXXX, regarding the I129F petition filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

 

In receipt of your inquiry, a thorough review was completed on your constituent’s case. USCIS records show the following:

The California Service Center approved and mailed a Notice of Approval on July 25, 2017 for this case. The Notice of Approval was mailed to the address of record at:

XXXXXX

I hope you find this information helpful and have a good day.

Respectfully,

Congressional Liaison| DHS – USCIS | Congressional Liaison Unit - California Service Center

 

 

Oh wow!!! Congratulations! Great to see some more movement finally! 🎈🎊🎉🍾

 

Can I ask...is March 28th your Received date or Notice date? I think I remember you saying it was your received date a while back but I don't remember anymore. lol

Yeah, my NOA2 says:

 

"On July 27, 2017, we approved your form I-129F,..."

 

Haven't received the mail yet, seems like electronic confirmation is working.

That's the second or third report of electronic notification as well. I think yesterday or the day before one of the UK filers had said the same.

 

KosmicBlues, can you check your status?

Did it update on USCIS case tracker for you? I saw someone else there saying that, but though yours was an Informed Delivery and snail mail coming.

Congrats again!

I know there's some that drop in and out of this thread have said some things, out of pain I'm sure, that might inhibit someone from sharing good news about an approval..... However, Whether it is a January or a May filer - I wanna hear it.  I'm so glad that you shared it.

 

CONGRATULATIONS

Thank you so much!!!

Okay, 
1st: Gratz on NOA2!!!

2nd: OMG! Don't feel bad! Just feel the happy you are feeling! 
3rd: Thank you for sharing this info... I can imagine how hard it is, but still =) And it is great and useful info because according to the wording, it does kinda sound like they got a move on it due to the fact that someone else got involved.
4th: Why would we think this was a drill?! lol
5th: Gratz! time to celebrate! You should/could be there for interview now!!!

Thank you!!!! And I know I shouldn't feel bad, but I know the heartache of seeing others get approved. But I also enjoy seeing good news for others so definitely wanted to share. And yes this means there's a very good chance I can make it for the interview! Yay!!!!

 

Oh and I only said this is not a drill because it seems too good to be true, like someone is playing a prank on me! haha. Just a silly saying.

Don't feel bad, it's not your fault that USCIS is so illogical

Thank you!!! And yes, March 28th is my received date. I was going by that as my NOA1 since the USCIS tracker shows that as my action date. I think my notice date is April 2nd or 3rd I'm not sure exactly. 

 

@Estibaliz thank you so much!! Really appreciate it!  

 

Update for all - my tracker of course still shows received. I will update my timeline with NOA2 once I actually receive it in the mail. Until then, a small part of me still believes this is too good to be true!!
