What was your NOA? 

My first NOA was dated July 20, 2016, and then got a Case Status change email on Sept 27, 2017 that said my card was in production.

Received my 10yr green card last week, 1 year 2 months and 3 weeks of i-751 filing date. Best of luck everyone!!!!! 

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on our case - it arrived to NVC approx 1 month after the NOA2. We DID NOT receive any text/email message about the case being shipped from USCIS to NVC. Now the case is received at Kyiv Consulate (status says "Ready").

I encourage everyone at post-NOA2 stage (especially CSC filers) to start calling DOS (much more helpful and faster than NVC guys!) in about 4 weeks after NOA2. Do not wait for an email/text or any USCIS status change - it may never happen but the petition will still be at NVC!

Best of luck to everyone!!

Hi everyone!

Just got a NOA-2 notification this morning and am sooooooo happy! Took 41 days in total from NOA1 to NOA2, and actually the petition got approved even before the VJ estimated time (my VJ timeline said the expected date of approval will be between Nov 8 and 18th). Me and my fiance applied by ourselves, no lawyer invloved, and so far everything went smoothly.

Our timeline is as follows:

I-129F sent: September 23, 2013

NOA-1: September 26, 2013

Alien Reg Number changed: October 2, 2013

NOA-2: November 5, 2013

Thanks to all VJ community for sharing their advice and experience. Really helps a lot to survive while waiting.

Wishing you all to get approved soon! It's a long journey which requires a lot of patience but the result will be well worth the wait! Good luck:)
