im right with u! hahha our date was one of april that had more filers! maybe is just that!  7.5 Months is equal to 228 days! Soooo VIP membership in 200+ in just 5 days cant wait !!!! (Optimistic way again)!! Everybody have a good day today!!!!!   I'm Happy even if USCIS has not approved our file yet! lets dance!

you haven't filled in your timeline, if you put your date filed and date NOA1 received in you'll get a projected NOA2 date.

I understand your frustration.  Immigration is not easy, especially, in some consulates.  You could marry in Pakistan , make several visits to see her while gathering quality evidence of your marriage, then apply for CR-1.  

Knock me over with a feather! NOA2 approved 10.15, with NOA1 4.25  173 days! We are thrilled.

I agree! Was super simple compared to the IRS nightmare I was imagining. 

I just ordered my tax transcripts. For some reason, I thought that would be more of a pain. I guess I'm used to everything being complicated at this stage!! Another check off the list

@MeghanK  For me.. I've lived in 3 states since graduating from college, had about 5 jobs in the same time frame (about 8 years). Neither of us have previously been married and I have the pretty unique name (USC).  I've never thought about that, but probably made it pretty easy to track all my information down lol.  I followed the K1 guide on here pretty closely.  We had 6 face to face in the past 2 years before applying, across the US, Panama, and Ecuador.  Also described how we met when we were 16 and that I spent semester in Panama.  Not sure if any of this helps but I figured we had a pretty simple application. 

There is information here for process your visa at your Embassy:

I got approved after 179 days, and I honestly don’t know how. 
 
I was born in Brazil, moved to Portugal at the age of six and came back to Brazil a few months after I turned 16 (I’m 29 now). I only got my resident card there when I was 15, the other years I was kind of “out of status”, I think. I was a kid so I don’t really know how my mother dealt with that issue.
 
13 years back in Brazil and I’ve had close to 10 different addresses and about 5 different jobs. 
 
When we first sent the petition, we made a stupid mistake on the form: neither one of us disclosed all the addresses and employment history for the last 5 years - we only put how many fit in the form itself (we didn’t use the extra sheet at the end, so our history was incomplete, dated back only 2 or 3 years instead of 5).
A month after we sent the petition, I realized our mistake and requested a correction of a typographical error on the new website. This happened in June. On the same week, I asked my fiancé to print the extra sheets with the omitted addresses and, with a cover letter, we sent it to the address on the NOA1 letter (Laguna Niguel). 
Back to the typographical error request - there was a limit of characters (500), so I had to split the correction in 2 parts. The problem was: I had to wait a month because you can’t request two difference typographical corrections consecutively. So, after 3 weeks of the first request, I got an e-mail saying that they had corrected our file with the information provided. Only then could I request another correction with the second part of the addresses. They again replied after 3 weeks, but this time with a letter in the mail. 
 
Oh, also, my fiancé’s passport style picture was very dark and in terrible quality.
 
Sorry for the looong reply, but I still can’t believe we were approved so early, specially with the whole address/employment mess, but I’m really glad it worked.
 
Neither of us has ever been married or have a criminal background. But my name is not common (I’m seriously the only one with this name in the world), so that may have helped? I’ll never know... 

My phone just got an alert from the CaseTracker app with the notification saying "Case status change update" - I totally freaked out so ready to open the app and start cheering, but I clicked on in and it still said "Case Received, last updated 182 days ago" lololol I might be really losing it here. 

YAYYYYY CONGRATS SIS!!!!! u got this!

We got our noa2 October 15
