As a same-sex couple we are preparing for the interview stage now and do not feel as if we're treated differently. You should not be either. As long as you have all the evidence of your relationship things should go very well. Your approval was quick. The next steps will be quicker. We actually received our instructions from the US Embassy in Stockholm by email before we received formal notice from the NVC that our file was sent to the Embassy. That was a fast and happy surprise. All the best in your process.

Hi Ralph and Patrick, it's great to see another same sex couple going through the process. My Filipino fiance and I have waited since 2008 for this opportunity and we are now at the medical and interview stages. After so long and now so close it is a wonderful feeling. Soon you will be at theses same steps and then sharing your lives together as a married couple. Thanks for the video also. We realized during our visa process we had few pictures together because either I was taking his or him mine. Then came the computer crash and unrecoverable data/photos. Wish there were readily accessible cloud drives then hehe. Fortunately we had plenty of other proof. All the best in your next steps to happiness.

We are working through our lawyer, but waiting on a confirmation for the medical exam appointment in Oslo, submitting the DS-160, and will be scheduling the interview at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm. Affidavit of Support also completed. Everything looking good at this point for Christmas holidays together. Hope all you other July filers are progressing just as well.

We received our NOA2 on October 8, 2014. On October 29, 2014 I received an email from the US Embassy in Stockholm that they have received our approved petition from the NVC and instructions/checklist for the next steps. Hooray! On Saturday Nov 1, 2014 I received a letter from the NVC that they have sent my petition to the US Embassy in Stockholm. Great news but I already knew that because of the email from the Embassy. We are Skyping with our lawyer this week to review our next steps and move forward with scheduling the medical exam and interview. Hang in their everyone, sometimes it looks like things just happen and not necessarily in order. Then enjoy the happy surprises like the Embassy email as we did.

We received our IV checklist from the U.S. Embassy Stockholm today. Yes now things are going fast and we are ready for the next steps. Good speed to the rest of you NOA2 people.

Great news! I woke up this morning to see an email from the US Embassy in Stockholm with the IV instructions and checklist for my fiance. For those of you who said previously that after the NOA2 things go quickly, you were very right in this case. For those of you still waiting, I wish you a speedier process as well.

Hi, I received a text message and email on 10/09/2014 at 7:45pm MST that we have been approved and to check "My Case Status" on the USCIS website. Our NOA2 letter is on its way. What a great feeling. Thanks to those who have been in this position already and your continued encouragement. On to the next steps.

I just received a text and email of our NOA2. We are now in Post Decision Activity. I am so excited. Hang in there everyone.

Congrats, it gives us hope that maybe we could be next or at least soon. Like you We are hopeful for Xmas hehe.

We understand the timeline process and the tentativeness of projections in moving through the steps. We've been a couple since 2008 and engaged for a year now so we've learned to be patient. Until a year ago as a same-sex couple we never thought this possible. We are happy for each day that brings us closer to the day we can get married, one month or six months or more is no issue for us. The end goal for our life together is closer than ever. And that keeps hope alive. Hang in there everyone.

We received our NOA1 by CSC ON July 24, 2014 and we have not received our NOA2 yet.
