Hi guys,
Long-term follower of this thread, tracking actual NOA2 dates as opposed to the usual USCIS ambiguity!
My fiancee and I had our application received on 2nd May, with NOA1 dated May 4th.
We passed 150 days at the back end of last week, and I encouraged my fiancee to speak to USCIS to see if we could get any information. On Monday, she was met by the usual 'March 31st... can't tell you any more...', the general frustrating and generic responses they give.
However, yesterday, she managed to get through to a Tier 2 officer... and unbelievably, they confirmed we had officially been approved as of yesterday! I can't describe how happy I am after 156 days of waiting, to finally be told it's been approved is such a relief.
One word of advice. If you're in or around the dates I mentioned above, try and call USCIS. The app trackers that people use and the USCIS website may not updated for a days, even a week, to say it has been approved. Our case is still 'received', but we have had confirmation of approval from a Tier 2.
We are planning to speak to our lawyer this weekend to gauge expected time, now I've been approved, to interview and visa issuance. I have a 4 week notice period at work which I need to time just right! Hoping to be there for late November, but I fear that may be a push.
Finally, thank you to all of you active posters for your words of encouragement, support and positiity. Whilst I have not actively posted my appreciation, I truly am grateful to be able to share this experience with you all and to feel like I am not alone.
For everyone waiting, your time will come and it will be the best feeling ever. Stay strong. Talk to your fiance(e). And of course, you have guys and girls on here for incredible support.

Thank you! It was all a bit surreal really but I'm so happy to have finally crossed the finish line.
Our reference ends 316257.
Be warned, even though we did get confirmation from a Tier 2 yesterday, we were promised a call back in 2 hours... 3 passed, my fiancee called back, and the queue said 1,200 hours!! Thankfully, she received a call back an hour later when she was able to share the good news!
