Interview scheduled for the 2nd week of September! CALL CALL CALL the consulate...we weren't contacted. If I hadn't called we wouldn't have gotten the date we got. I also had to request via email for the letter so we can do the medical.
Good luck to you all!

I thought I'd share because other people's timelines are helpful. NVC recieved our case July 22nd and we got our case number today August 7th (roughly 17days).
I think of you those of you waiting for those approvals daily. I pray the wait is much shorter than expected, especially for those of you who are not with your spouse.

For those who received the NOA 2, does the hard copy say anything special? And did you receive notice that your petition was being sent to the NVC? I tried to call the NVC, but I seriously don't know how anybody mananges to get through...I got a message all day saying that all the operators where busy. I called UCSIS but they said that the system hasn't been updated....and they don't know if my petition was sent or if it is still at the California Service Center. I'm going to try for an expedite at NVC and really want to know if the papers have been sent... Suggestions?

WOOHOO!!! i woke up to an email saying that my petition was approved yesterday!!! (NOA 2!)

LOL. You said you would get NOA2 before you got hard copy NOA1. See positive talk look what you got. You speak and yee shall receive. Congratulations :joy: . I like this thread. Makes me want to file. NOT!!

Congratulations Mamapuchis!! :)

I tried a few times this week, but got the "due to large call volume" message, and I didn't really feel like trying all night, just to have them tell me it's too early, it's only been a week. Since I'm in France, 6 hours ahead, it was around 2-4pm in the states when I tried, which is probably a pretty busy time. I can't really call when they open at 7am, since I'm at work, and the only way I'd wake up at 5am to try and call when it's 11pm there is if my son wakes me up (which actually happens more than I'd prefer, lol, so I might give it a try the next time he does!)
Congrats!

Congratulations Mamapuchis!!
:)

Conrgrats to you, lucky one!

Congrats. what a beautiful way to start the weekend

Congratulations mampuchis! It's such an exciting feeling to see the approval. I was shaking when I read approved. Even though I requested an expedite, I had no idea it would happen this fast.
Timeline updated ditdot!
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I'm praying that others approvals come quickly, as well.

Hi!
I hope that this week, there will be good news

Congratulations to those that received their NOA-2! Now, if the other service centers would move just as rapidly we'd all be happy campers.

Yeah for all these NOA 2's!!! I'm so happy for all of you and thankful for the encouragement that each of your approvals bring!

CA is rocking these NOA2's out! That is awesome! Today is exactly 1 month our application has been waiting for NOA2. At least we have one month down, hopefully not to many more to go!
Did anyone who received their NOA2 sign up for email and text notifications? I am very curious if they actually send those if you did. Congrats to everyone with good news this week!!

Hoping to see more approvals (NOA 2's)in the next couple of days and hoping that the California Service Center lives up to it's reputation....

Exciting, congrats! 21 days seems like one of the fastest times I've seen (and usually those times are at the California Service Center) !
Here's hoping it's a trend and the NOA2s for the rest of us June filers aren't far behind! :-)

Wow! Very happy for you. I think it gives the rest of us so much hope when we see approvals. Here's to speedy approvals for the rest of us!

I think we are all secretly praying for a legendarily fast approval right along with you! Whether you are separated from your spouse or living alongside, each situation comes with its own struggles and I think all of us want it over with as quickly as possible so we can move forward with our lives. Let's hope those graphs are accurate!!! (the anxiety is killing me...I must check this board 100 times a day to see if anyone has gotten their NOA 2)

I got my NOA1 hard copy yesterday, so about a week after getting the email.
Our file was sent directly to California.

Now if only the NOA 2 comes as fast...
