Wow.  Congrats!  

His name isn't Michael Cohen is it? Because it sounds like he's as good as Trump's personal lawyer is... 
 
 

I just saw in my email that today I checked the new website 64 times (64 one time password emails )

So, we're officially  in the 200's, today is day 201. According to the updated USCIS website we will be eligible to request an inquiry in about 12 days, so fingers crossed it doesn't have to come to that. But for now, we're just sitting back trying to be patient..
Congrats to all those who received NOA2 and good luck to those who are still waiting!

I'm very happy to read that! I'm always thinking of you and @Shoegum, my personal VJ idols LOL. I'm happy you finally got some good news and I hope you can get over that stage very soon!
 
I just came back home from my interview. I was approved! we're about to book my flight for two weeks from now so we can marry in Valentine's day, we figure it's worth the risk especially since there's a magically very cheap flight for the 10th and the interviewer said he thinks it's very likely I'll have my passport back by then!
 
so here's the summary: my embassy trip was mostly fine and only took about an hour and a half. they really scared me a couple times but everything's good we think. first scare: the lady who took my papers said that even though the packet 3 instructions AND an email from the embassy confirmed that for argentines, the requirement of police records for residence abroad was 1 year minimum residence instead of 6 months like for most countries... the interviewer might still decide he wants to see mine for New Zealand, in which I spent almost 9 months as a backpacker. the thing is I had already tried to get those records just in case and they never replied, and also they take at least one month and a half, and I had to arrange the picking up from the ministry of justice over there and bringing it over here somehow. anyway luckily in the end the interviewer just asked me a couple questions about NZ and was satisfied so I'm not going to be delayed who knows how long for a thing that they clearly stated shouldn't be a problem.
second scare: in the end he said "you're approved, congratulations!" and then gave me a paper that said rejected LOL. I'm 99% sure this was an honest mistake since the guy just wanted to give me some paper with their email address written on it so I could tell them I already have a flight date so please try to give me back my passport by then. the first paper he reached for was one of the ones they give to rejected interviewees. it was a form and he didn't fill, stamp or sign anything on it, just circle around the email address he suggested me to write to, so hopefully it's just that, but man was I scared when I realized that (I wasn't in the room anymore so I couldn't ask). The receptionist said not to worry about it too.
other than that, the interview itself was quite easy and painless, he asked me a couple things about our relationship and other facts. since I had traveled to a country in the Middle East he asked more than a little about that and came back to the subject a couple times. everything was OK. he also seemed especially interested in how I liked the Netherlands, which I'd visited recently. overall very friendly, quick and even joked a little bit and talked about nice places to eat in Buenos Aires.
 
 
 

I know, I've been checking in on some of the members still waiting for NOA2 to see if anything has moved for them. So disappointing; my heart goes out to them. 
Well, my fiancée's interview is 9 am in Buenos Aires (5 am my time), and we hit a paperwork snag at the last minute regarding payment accreditation (one email gave a link that didn't work, but said she could pay at the embassy the day of the interview, which is exactly what she did when she got her US tourist visa) so they gave her another link to use, which had her paying for it ahead of time. She paid it, but for some reason it's not showing that it is. She has the receipt, but the problem is that she is unable to move ahead on the webpage where she registers with DHL to get the visa when it's ready. She is worried that they won't give her the interview without this. I think it's fine. Even if it's not, it'll be accredited by tomorrow anyways, and her interview will be rescheduled. There isn't a too long of a waiting list, but I feel bad that she has this extra thing stressing her out. 
Well, we'll know tomorrow!!
