Hi Naes, Any sign of your approval yet? it sounds a little odd, but I am feeling a sort of NOA2 guilt since ours was approved last week and we have left the September people still waiting, I hope it happens for you all soon.

What a good day! Just got an email approval (Old email / site, new isnt updated interestingly enough). 
 
NOA1 - Sep 25
NOA2 - March 28

Dear Sunshine berries!! I'm shaking right now while texting this... My fiance and I have been APPROVED. I'm September 28th received date and October 2nd NOA1. We got approved on day 180. Thank you all and particularly NAES. I wish for a speedy approval for everyone waiting!

Just received notice was approved for NOA2. 
September 15th NOA1 (194 days)
Philippines 🇵🇭
 
Called and woke up fiancée🤩🤩

Congratulations, it has been a long, long wait for you, hopefully the next stages will go better.  

hello fellow September filers  
 
Thanks be to God we got our silent NOA2 via mail (hard copy) last 19Mar2018 USA/AZ.
Our NOA1 received on 11Sep2017 and NOA2 approved on 13Mar2018.
 
Sadly there is no online update for our case. We don’t know why.
Anyway, what matters now is we got our NOA2 hardcopy.
 

My slight worry is another Government shut down, a few days wouldn't be the end of the world, but after the wait for the NOA2 another forced delay would be too much, oddly enough since we got our NOA2 I have relaxed a bit and am happy to go a little slower, I am aiming for my medical in April, interview mid / late May and maybe the visa in my passport early June and I aim for POA mid /late July.... well that's the plan

Folks, this legal-immigration process is dysfunctional at best and broken at worst.  Please remain unfailingly supportive of each other.  Remember that if you hold one pencil and snap it, it will break; conversely, if you hold a handful of pencils and try to snap them, they'll remain undamaged.
 
Remember, too, that those of us who are finished with this infernal process are hoping and praying for your progress almost as intensely as you are.  You're not alone, and you're never forgotten.  Take comfort and find renewed strength in this.  

yayy congrats on my date bros and sistas  
 
hope I'll be right there with you soon 😁 

Hi Naes, Colleen has just received our NOA2 dated 15 March..........So we have been approved in 181 days (We were 15 September 17) Today of all days the mail delivery was 3 hours late so it has only just arrived,  our number ended in '60' if it helps anyone, I hope you and the rest of September are not far too far behind us with NOA2's, there was no update on any app or website

Haha... i said/thought about the same thing
Mentally prepared... then the heart starts helping with the thinking.
Just a bit anxious i guess.
Either way...at the end of each day we just pray it's tomorrow. 
 

GUUUYSSSS!!! THE DAY HAS COME!!!
I landed back in Zurich this morning and as soon as my mister woke up, he facetimed me, and said he
has to send me something, sent me a text with a pic:
 

 
You don't see the 1/1 part but below you see the text (not clear in this picture though cos i had to resize)
where it says: your petition has been approved!!! 

 
WE GOT APPROVED!! UAHHHH!!!!!  how ironic the day I left and landed back home!
 
NOA1 - Sept 8
NOA2 - will let you know as soon as we get the hardcopy but estimate March 13 (stamp on letter for postage)
 

 
 
PS: no updates online of course...!

I have just seen a few (@ 6) so far for the  15th  that have been approved too

Confused? join the club! if there is any organization in the USCIS then no one here can figure out what it is, one theory is that the people reviewing the cases work at different speeds, some are harder on cases than others........ but the bottom line is some people are lucky and others aren't,  there are some people still waiting from June and earlier for approval.

That's great, far better than the 40 to 60 days it was taking in December.  All I want now is the NOA2!

So today I was having a really hard time, I was struggling with the process and feeling like our time would never come. 
 
I went home, got a call from my fiancé and we received our NOA2!!!!!!!!! 
 
Received date: 8th September 2017
Approved date: 8th March 2018
 
no online update or any other notification!
 
people, your silent NOA2s are coming!!! 

Hi Naes, I am sorry you are having people attack you,  maybe you have done to much to help everyone on the VJ forum and now people are taking you for granted or think it is your fault when there date is passed by, maybe over the next 4 to 8 weeks  you will have your NOA2 ..... then people can complain that it is ok for you, you can move on and we are still waiting..... the human race isn't a nice species,  most of us really appreciate the VOLUNATRY work you do here with the limited information the USCIS are putting out at the moment.
