I use to think child birth was painful and exhausting until I met USCIS and now I know it was nothing! The anxiety you get daily and they compulsion to constantly check your phone is enough to drive a sane man crazy 😱

@Naes baby, plz stop feeling this way. You have been encouraging  us including others in previous months, @John&Rose ,@Trinab80.We are all waiting to shout out on your approval, plz hang in there it's coming. 

WHAT?!?!?!?! Don't give up girl. We came this far already. And it sucks. And it hurts. But at the end it will be worth all the tears. I am the most negative person in the world but YOU giving up?! NO!

I’m starting to think this is the case manager for the first week of September 😜

Thanks for the advice however I left out a key piece of info ... Hawaii is my final destination. That's where my fiance is from. I don't expect to come back to the mainland after the wedding... That's where we will be living 😊

Woke up to the best news ever!!! We were approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES! 
My fiance and I are planning a small wedding in Hawaii!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!! So happpy!!! Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement! 🌺

Congratulations to all berries that have been approved. We are approved!!! 
Noa1 9/18
Noa2 3/30
No RFE

Hi everyone, I have been following along for a while now. Thanks for everything! I just wanted to let you all know we got approved today. NOA1 Sept. 28.  NOA2 April. 02. 186 days.  I got an email, the app changed and the old website. The new website has not updated yet and we have not received anything in the mail Best of luck to all 

We got a silent noa2 btw. Website still says received.

Start on the first page of this thread I listed all the steps after USCIS approval up to thenActual
Interview.

No it won’t expire. My fiancé is from Gambia too the extra $200 is CFA meaning less than a dollar payable only at EcoBank in Senegal only. He will need to rent a room here the medical is about 3-5 days I recommend Dr. Thermos. Hopefully if he gets here by Wednesday he can pay and schedule for April 11. Gambia by road is about 7 hours 😳, my fiancé just went back last month to renew his passport. I would suggest using an Airbnb while he is here, they are reasonably priced and will get him a short taxi drive from the Embassy and the Dr.’s office. I would suggest the Yoff area. If you need a link I will give you one that will discount his stay $40. He can expect to stay an entire month because he will have to wait for the Visa appointment  and if they approve he will have you return on the following Tuesday or Thursday for pickup. If you want private message me your email and I will send you the link. There is a few I can recommend as Ousk has stayed in a few expect to pay about $200-$250 for a one month stay and make sure the listing has WiFi continuously available. I understand your issue with Gambia as far as the unreliable WiFi and the issues with power/current. I believe total he paid about $275 for all medical appointments. He will go to the doctor have the exam, if he passes, he will give him referral to get an X-ray, after he pays, they will give him the X-ray to return to the doctor, if the X-ray is fine, he will be given a referral to the lab where they will draw blood and take urine and pay again,  our results were ready in 2 days. He picked them up and returned them to the doctor, after about an hour he was returned all his medical in a brown sealed envelopes that can’t be opened by anyone but the Embassy. If you pass they give it to you, if not they will send it directly to the Embassy.
 
Oh and tell him not to get passport photos done in Gambia, they are too small. Get them in Senegal he will need 10, 8 for the Doctor and 2 for the Embasay.
 
Let me know if you need anything else and with an approval from January you could have been done in February. It took us one month. 

Thank you so much. I was just looking over the berries journey from  the very first post and its honestly amazing how absolute strangers go through this process together. I saw joy, excitement, fear, stress, arguing, and many more emotions. This page is truly truly amazing and we should definitely consider having some type of convention for everyone in the future. I would love to meet everyone !!!! Good  Luck to you @Naes in your journey.

Just wanna wish all of you wonderful September Berries a peaceful Good Friday and a special one to @Naes you are a friend to us all 🙂, wishing you the best.
