j and k

My dear March Winers I am happy to say that we were approved on August 14th! 
Just randomly checked case tracker right now and it says "case was approved"!!!!
OMG OMG OMG!!! I just can not believe it! Happy and barely can breathe! 
 

All these case updates on my app, PLEASE for the love of everybody I hope all of March is completed this week, including ours.

Finally approved. Official NOA2 August 14th.  Got my email confirmation and update status on USCIS today.  Alot of activity with approvals hitting the apps today.  Your next....check everything.

Finally got my case # after 15 days, things really do start moving fast receiving noa2  FINGERS CROSSED FOR THOSE STILL WAITING. 
Seriously, it's ridiculous how USCIS goes through cases. 
I really hope I'll be able to make it there and be married on October 1st. We wanted it to be January 1st but nope!! no way in hell, we are SOO done with waiting! 

Oh ok 😁 thanks for your friendly advice 😁 I just don't get why Airlines charge more for a one way ticket as opposed to a return trip 🤔🤔

No problem at all, but remember to cancel the return trip later on, so there's no misunderstanding with them thinking you left the country abandoning your AOS.
Have to say £120 is a nice saving, but kind of ridiculous when the difference between one way and round trip for my tickets are 1000€ or more

Congratulations!!!! FINALLY! 🎉💃🏻

Congratulations!!!! FINALLY! 🎉💃🏻

VISA APPROVED!!!!!!
YYYYYEYYYYY!!!

And yes Chris opened the mail on skype with me just now and.......we are APPROVED!!!! Notice Date: August 9, 2017 Updating my timeline now
 

Just got our case number from NVC!  Exactly two weeks from NOA2.  She said it was forwarded last week, so I'm guessing it was there Fri (I called Thurs, skipped Friday).  Currently showing as "At NVC."

OMG Chris got a letter from USCIS in informed delivery today.  He is sure its the NOA2 looks like notice date is August 9th. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I am crying I am so happy. My kitty Pixie is trying to comfort me because she thinks I am sad. lol Chris is home sick today so he said that when mail gets delivered in a few hours he will see if he is up to getting the mail. Hopefully he is and then we will open it on Skype together. OMG OMG OMG I am so happy. I really felt like it was never coming. Chris said to me see love you said we were getting our NOA2 last week and technically we did it was approved last week. LMAO So soon as we do I will let you all know for sure.  
 
I hope all March filers get theirs today that are waiting and the rest of the February filers too that still need theirs. Looks like if August 9th is our date that was Day 149 from received and Day 146 from notice.
 

It's Monday and time for another 'Hope The NOA2's Rain From The Heavens' post.  
We are well past any reasonable explanation of why we are still waiting.
Still a LOT of March filers have been left on the cutting room floor.  No word of NOA2s yet.
Just the ones I can recall include VendHen, Ste&Sel, TwoDs, Kateryna_1, AfricanQ, Pajobra, Nhona Scott, Falcoa79, MyTrueLove18, AJ&Milena and I bet if I thought longer, I could remember some more.  February includes Cherryblossoms916 and Twinee.  I'd REALLY like to see these get word this week.

Oooook visa in hand and passport 🛂 booking my one way ticket this afternoon 😉 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ✈ 

INTERVIEW WILL BE NEXT WEEEEEEK!  I'm really nervous now. I can feel my heart beats sooo fast! 😣 Finally I'm done organizing my documents. I'm ready for the interview! :)) just practicing on how to answer them. Coz this Filipina isn't so used in speaking English personally. This Filipina is not used to hearing english words. I even asked my fiancé to record questions so i can practice hearing them. I'm glad he participated😂 
 
Congratulations to those who got their approvals already! I'm always rooting for all of you who are still waiting! Please don't lose hope ❤️ everything will fall into place and according to God's plan😊 hang in there!

Successful POE. Toto and Minky together again. Today starts day two of forever 
 

 
I will post some real wedding pictures of us in a couple weeks if they turn out ok. My fiancee made the image above and I thought it was cute. 
 
Good luck to those still waiting. I am rooting for you.

Thank you all =) Just confirming as I just got home... it is in fact my NOA2! 
It's a good thing I was at work (and not alone) when I accidentally discovered this in my informed delivery because I could not break down and cry happy tears like I would have did if I had been at home  lol  I opened it to show my friend/coworker and I saw it, but my screen is kinda small and I thought that's what it was, but I just kept looking to make sure I was seeing it right because I just couldn't believe my eyes.
I was just thinking about how at the beginning of the week, I had a feeling about this being the week (I think I even said that in a post here) and how on the 8th (my approval date) I had had a dream that night/morning about my F coming here and he had just gotten here and we were going out to some different places and I won't bore ya'll with the rest, but maybe my instincts and then the dream was actually on to something.
Anyhow here is the breakdown of the process so far,

My fingers are still crossed for everyone.. and toes too! It does sound like they are picking up the pace a bit so hopefully it won't be too much longer as I also know all too well that the pain and struggle is real.

Sorry bout that... long story short... I checked my informed delivery after I got to work cuz I was telling a coworker about it and... there it was!! I'm fairly certain it is my NOA2!! I could see the date of Aug 8 and postmarked the 9th.

hello everybody!!
been a silent reader for the past months as I ve been thru' a resignation process , cargo ,shipments ,packing , unpacking and getting out of the UAE..
finally yesterday we got our NOA2, dated 7th of August. our case was received 29th of April.
good luck for everyone still waiting , you guys just have to make yourselves busy otherwise you will go crazy as I did thinking and overthinking , estimating, comparing cases and received dates. I am gonna f**** delete both the case trackers ( at the moment still showing received  ) as they are totally useless , the most useless applications I ever had on my phone . 
congratulations for the already k1 visa holders and for those with the medical and interview scheduled and thank you all for sharing information, state of mind & soul, your work routine , pet and diet info etc etc  you guys made all this wait bearable.
 

Interview on Wednesday! I am more nervous than she is and that kills me

Good morning from Germany, Fellow Whiners!! 

For now, the last good news from here:

The doorbell just rang - I have my passport back! Visa in hands! 
 
Goosebumps all over, I can't believe it's done. It's really unreal. Got so trained in being worried that I still can't believe it!

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

 

My passport and visa is on its way 😁 Hurry up Monday 😁😁

Visa is in our hands 11 days after approval. POE is tomorrow (going to be an exciting day). We have almost made it.
 
I'm still here rooting for those of you still in the race!

Three very exciting things happened today. I sent a quick email probe to the embassy about our case not being received yet, and bam an hour later it was there. Not sure it was the email, but hey it's there! And my fiance is in the middle of his medical right now. They want another letter from his psych (he did have one but I guess they want more info or something) but it doesn't look like it should be an issue other than gumming things up a little timewise. And, I moved into our new apartment today! It's still barebones because no furniture has been delivered yet but it'll be our home soon.

Sent - 3/23/17 
 
NOA1 - 4/1/2017 
 
NOA2 - 8/10/2017 via mail. No text or email. No update on app. 
 
Approved! 💕👍🏻
 
Praying for all couples still waiting. Soon good news will reach you! xo
