Congratulations!

What time do people normally recieve emails saying they are approved?

I wonder whose desk I'm on! Been touched three times so far, must like moving me!

Just a quick question... I was always under the impression that sex between a minor and someone who is aged over 20 is classed as "statutory rape".

Would this change after marriage?

Haha you guys are making me so jelous!

Please be this week VSC!!

Wow! How the....? lol

Congratulations

I am really jelous!! So much for first come first served!

Looks like it is back online

Still np updates

Still no luck here

Congratulations! Great news

Would love to have the online check back online

Hoping for some touching this week

That is always there?

I also can't currently log on

2-3 weeks?! Is that the NOA1 or NOA2?! Wow. Hope ours is that quick if the NOA2! That would be awesome, but the NOA1 would be just as good.

VSC is incredibly fast for most. Some have 7 days, some 14, hopefully ours will come next week! If we are lucky

Some immigration lawyers scare me. Some of the accounts I have read on this site alone put me off getting one. We MUCH prefere doing it on our own

Thanks for that HUSKERKIEV

Finger crossed! I miss having touches. I have 3 last week and none this week

Awesome, congratulations Another NOA1 on the 13th, just like us... Maybe it will be our turn today too!

I can't remember who specifically, but it was someone who hadn't put their timeline in but had it in the signature

Fantastic - congratulations

Being in the same situation as the touches, I am not sure what to think. From what I read, a touch simply means it has been scanned when moved, either from one desk to another, so maybe they were sorting them out one day from one desk and scanned the next when recieved to the next desk.... maybe? I don't thinka tocuh is an indication to good or badness really...

All NOA2's come at weird speeds it seems. Although there does seem to be a pattern (a few NOA2's for 12th's yesterday and one today for a 13th) but there are still some who have an NOA1 from the 6th and 7th and even before who haven't gotten an NOA2

They way I think of it, the longer you wait, the more it looks less like an RFE. If something really stood out then they would tell you by now... surely?

Thats my thoughts! I had hoped for a before march NOA2 but I will wait until they are ready for it

So I'm a bit of a dip, and had had on my timeline the date I physically received the NOA1 rather than the notice date on the piece of paper.

It was 2/9...and I got all pumped when I saw two touches last week...alas nothing further.

These are the things I ponder (or rather, obsess over):

1)are those two touches and then silence a good sign or a bad one?

2)is the fact that those who filed after me have gotten NOA2s an ominous thing for me, or do things simply move at different speeds?

3)if I'm a good girl and extremely patient, will my NOA2 eventually arrive or will I be crushed by the receipt of a denial or an RFE?

Tony and fiancee, are you thinking the same as I?

Yeah we met there when I was 2 months in to an 18 month J1 visa stay in 2006/06. We lived in Arlington Virginia, as I notice you live in Virginia

I hope to fly back with her then. That would be perfect! I'd hate to leave her at the airport

ohhh. I left in August as well

So freaky!

Maybe you will finish the process by August and fly back with her?

I'm planning on going back to Australia in July for a month and if the process and so forth is done by then, my bf planned to fly back with me. That would rock cause the trip there is like 30 hours long and whats better than being stuck with your best friend for 30 hours? (even if it is a bit uncomfortable hehe). Flying back alone is absolutely terrible! lol. I've had to do it twice.

Have you been to the US yet?

She is here until August so hopefully there won't be an overlap!

Aww that's so cool.

I did a study abroad thing two years ago as well in Australia. I got to stay with my bf too.

How long is she studying there?

I could only afford 6 months at the time.

You are quite lucky

Yeah I am the UK Citizen, however she lives here with me as she is on a student visa! I am very lucky

Haha thats a funny story

Congratulations again, very happy for you. Plus makes me excited that ours would be soon!

Yeah, I did get an email but I didn't check before going to the site. lol

I saw the notification in my email afterwards.

I signed into the status page just to see if I had any touches. I wasn't expecting to get any approval anytime soon, just wanted to see if someone had worked on my case.

And to my surprise, we got touched! And I was chatting with my boyfriend at the time getting excited for being touched. I didn't even think to click on the case itself to see the status. And later on when I did, I found out we got an approval

Man I'm so excited!! I can't believe I have to go to class later tonight though hah.

You should definitely get yours soon too. We sent it off/got our NOA1 like the same exact time!

Awesome... Did you get an email at the same time?
