Guess WHAT! Everyone is in that boat once they complete the interview and the CO "recommends for approval". That is a shorten version of "you are approved". Reasoning is that the visa is not approved and final till your record goes to issue. There is still a total review and signoff before it goes to "issued". One to two weeks and you should have your visa. Be patient.  But don't buy flight tickets yet. There has been cases where someone was delayed 1, 2  weeks or even 6 months and had purchased tickets and they had to change them. The cost..... as much as a new ticket. Congratulations and safe travels.

NOA1 - March 31
NOA2 - Aug 16
 
I was very excited this morning to see letters from both USCIS and my congressperson, whom I contacted three weeks ago (and heard back from initially two weeks ago). Both were confirming that our I-129F has been APPROVED as of 8/16!! It took longer than we originally hoped but we are both so happy for the good news. Everyone else who is waiting for an NOA2, stay strong! I recommend contacting a rep as well, it can't hurt.

I'm so happy to have a NOA2 and My Fiancee is twice as happy - She's been the silent warrior behind the scenes with her patience and encouragement.  Y'all don't know but she has the log in credentials but just lurks and has yet to utter a word in here - I believe she thinks I say enough for both of us - but from the bottom of my heart all the congratulations, and endorsements to our announcement yesterday - I really want to say thank you to all of you who have supported us for 5 months...... @twinee @LabOz @Estibaliz @dkmfan85 @troika @PB&FM @BahamaIslander242 @Nhona Scott @JloveN @lon552 @P and L @Kateryna_I @Yzabelle @falcao79 @holly @NovaDC @TearsOfBabylon @SChamb and so many more that I am at a loss to remember at this time.....
 
THANX!!!!!!!
 
Now, for anyone else without a noa2, let's focus on getting you across this finish line.   No One gets left behind in the March Filers!!!!!
 
 

Happy to announce after 169 days of waiting - 
I GOT THE APPROVAL LETTER TODAY.  
OMG - Its finally happening. 
Thanks to all March filers for your aupport and guidance along the way. 
Wooooohoooo!!!!!
Cant wait to let my fiance Adhen know but shes still asleep.    So. Sharing with you all first !!!!
Good luck to all those still awaiting - patience patience patience. 

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!!!!!

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 

After lots of prayer and nail bitting, my fiancé checked the informed delivery this morning and thank GOD, we got our golden letter!!! I can just barely make out the words "the above petition has been APPROVED"! I wont know the actual date issued until she gets it in her hands but I do know that today is 129 days since NOA1 and exactly 100 days out until our set wedding date in Nov. It's a good day!  
 
Sent March 24th
Received March 28th
NOA1 April 3rd
 
Still praying for all still waiting! Believe me, I know how exciting but still disappointing it is to watch every approval come in other than your own. I have a feeling it won't be for much longer. Just keep the faith. It's coming.

Good Morning from Dubai!
 
At last, we received our NOA2 dated Aug. 3, 2017. I didn't even realize to ask my fiance to check his PO BOX until last night. It took them 126 days to approve our case. USCIS still shows received as of March 30.
 
I am very happy to move forward and wait for our case to be transferred to NVC.

OH MY WORD 🙌🏻 🙌🏻
 
Fiance just told me the informed delivery email shows a scan of a letter from USCIS .... day 147 today, NOA1: 16 March (received March 13), Tracker still says "Case Received", so almost 100% sure it's an approval.
 
Will update timeline when we know for sure and with the proper date of the NOA2. Postage mark is dated 4 Aug.
 
We were gonna contact the Senator today and then this email came ... 👍🏻😁😁

I have never been so close to my processing estimate time.. I know we have all said that it's pretty much useless, but right now I really really hope it's accurate since it is this week!!! Never thought I would say that  lol
Good luck everyone and I hope it is a great week and raining NOA2's!!! Especially Jan and Feb filers that are still left behind!!

Hello everyone! Sharing my happiness as today is my birthday and my Fiance surprised me a picture of our Notice of Action Approval mailed on Aug 5th. Finally after 131 days!!
 
Received date: 3/17
NOA1 date: 3/22
NOA2 date: 7/31
 
Keep praying and undoubtedly approval will come sooner! 

I FINALLY GOT MY NOA2 TODAY!
 
wooohooo now what? Haha 
 
recieved: 3-10-17
rfe: 7-6-17
noa2: 7-31-17 (hard copy in mail 8-4-17, no app update) 
 
now waiting for Monday to call NVC! I need advice on what to do now! It's like I was so focused on the NOA2 I don't know how to navigate NVC but I am so happy to be done with USCIS.... still sending out good vibes for more march whiners to get their approvals !

NOA2!! OMG OMG! Crying lots of happy tears right now! 
 
Lawyer just emailed me my noa2 dated 7/29 ! 
 
Noa1: 3/27
Noa2: 7/29
 
Best wishes to everyone waiting!! 💕💕
