P&R2017

After 290 days, we finally received our NOA2!!!! This process is harsh!!!

Hi everyone, I had to take some time off VJ due to my level of stress. I am picking up my passport this Friday and travelling to the US that same day, boy this has been one hell of a journey and I've spent SO MUCH MONEY visiting my fiance. I do hope everyone still waiting gets through and that this is like they say when a woman has a baby, she forgets all about the bad prenancy stuff and just enjoys the baby, in our case, our long awaited marriage.
Sending love and patience and money cause we need it at this point xxx

I am still waiting for NOA 2 ...318 days  

I guess I belong in this thread... 
NOA2 email notification March 29th on the letter is March 28th.. 
After calling NVC almost everyday and developing a very weird relationship with a guy called "Gilbert".. (I get him on the phone,  about 4 time last 5 time I called the NVC 🙄😂) 
He doesn't know that.. But I have the feeling that I know Gilbert very well.. Every time he is the one answering the phone.. I want to say:   _Hey Gil.. It's me.. (my name)... But then...I get blocked with the question.." Can I have your case nr please?"... 😲
-Damn Gil.. We are buddies right!?? 🤣
 
Anyway... 
They finally got my case on 16th of April.. But no case nr yet.. 
Maybe when I call tonight Gilbert can help me...😂

Finally we received today the approval after our RFE from feb 26. It took exactly 15 days for them to approve...
I was expecting to be jumping of happiness , but I wait so long that it is kind of... Okey, thanks... and I hate that!.... Its like someone let you hungry for months and then decide to give you a piece of bread and expect you to be very very happy... any way...Maybe when I wake up tomorrow I will realize what just happen... 
 
I want to thank all the support that I got from you guys...❤️😎

Hey Julies 
just overall status for those who are still waiting.

Yes.

Either on DS 160 or during the interview, you will have the option to let them know that your daughter will join you later, called “ K2 follow to join”. You daughter can then apply for K2 visa within one year after you have been granted the K1 visa. Of course she has to be under 21 during that time.
If she doesn’t apply for the visa within one year or she is no longer under 21, then it will take lots n lots of years to immigrate to US with family based petition.

YESSSSS!

YESSSSS!

YESSSSS!

YESSSSS!

YESSSSS!

Hellooooo Berries!!!!!
 
as mentioned before, WE ARE APPROVED!!!
 
4 hours after the name updated I was woken up by lovely @Swissmiss82 (whom I swore at for a good minute as I finally fell asleep at 2:30 🤣🤣 then I saw who it was but couldn’t wake up, then she sent me a screenshot of my approval. I advise anyone to have one of these @Swissmiss82 in hand cause she knew before my email came )
 
Now about the “name was updated” as my other dear @emekus94 said, normally “name was updated” is a correction on the petition about name or address or such.  However, when they were doing May I was really in to research on some of the updates that people has no idea why. One was name was updated (never expected to get one) I confirmed this theory of name updated 99% turns to approval with quite a lot of members here so yayyyy.
 
my case only got name update on 4/5 4am but with the date of 4/4 on the new site, and the approval came on the old site.
 
wow can’t believe I’m writing this!
 
received date: Sept 15
submitted: Sept 18
noa 2: April 5
 
I deleted the app so I’m not sure but I think I’m on day 204? from the received date. 
 
And I wouldn’t do this again even if they give me a million dollars! 
 
I don’t know how everyone is doing it, but during the past week I broke up with my fiancé 10 times at least. Because I wanted to stop the pain one way or another. And I couldn’t go to work for the past 2 days.... so I understand why couples are drained and why some people are not as “strong” (actually this is the wrong word to use)
 
So many people helped me through this hell other than the chocolate puddings that I ate. 
 
Maid of horror:
@Swissmiss82
Gal pals:
@NICK & PAULA @ChuAni @Jaquelly @Thelucybelle @LizM @vocaledge (Dude just ignore the title)
 
I have many more people to thank, but If I start I can’t end. (No seriously it would be the whole page) or some of those nicknames my brain without coffee couldn’t figure out to thank to! (Yer, seriously what was your nickname??)
 
I want to give a brief summary of how this road looked like from my eyes:
-June edition:the one with most drama
-July edition: the one with the most chill
-August: the one that made me go crazy
-September : expediters 
-October : the one who always caught up in someone else’s drama
-November: all k1 goes to california 
-December: mainly validation errors
 
Thank you @Shoegum  
More than anything!!
Thank you @geowrian for the scans and informed delivery and basically saving everyone’s life! You are the anxious persons dream 😁!
 
Let’s hope I never win an oscar cause apparently that speech would not go well...
(I am extremely aware I am forgetting people to thank to....I just started but half the page became people’s names....)

277 days still nothing 

Day 273... still nothing 😡

Interview done in USEM.... and i got approved!
