the only problem with all the congrats and being so emotional is:

it aint over yet.

isn't there still an interview, etc...?

or am I missing something because then I will know how to react when we get our NOA2.

You are correct, it ain't over. It's just that from what I have learned from others that have been through this, and based on that, my Fiancee and I feel very confident about our interview, when that day comes, and the time period between NOA2 and the interview for China right now is averaging right at just two months. So I feel like celebrating getting through this agonizing wait on this first five-month part of the process.

Got an e-mail late Wednesday of my NOA2 approval! They must have sent it end-of-day Wednesday (California Service Center) - Didn't see it until Thursday - FEELS SOOOO GOOD! Got it in under the 5 months(by two weeks). Now should be down to less than 3 months for us until we are together!! Things will get busy now!

Congratulations from here as well! I am visiting my sweetie in China (third visit) right now.

Hi There,

My first post. I have been using the site for some good information and advice, but haven't been doing any posting. I also met my Fiancee online in May of this year. I visited her where she lives in China in August for two weeks (16 days), which went fantastic. I then returned in November and visited with her a week (9 days) then. Sent my I-129F in on December 16th, and got my NOA1 in the mail yesterday, Dec 22. I know it's going to take many months to go through the whole process. So gald I discovered this site, it is a fantastic place for information and to help get through it all....

Happy Holidays everyone
