Looks like you are on the same timeline as us.  Our NOA2 is Oct 17, they just received our file on November 14th.  Still no number as of today.

We also submitted on the 05th of November 2018. Still waiting for a case no.

I am the US Citizen, but I lived in South Africa for many many years. So I know about adjusting.

My husband is in the USA with me.

 

Everything is very different, but still the same! My husband had some cultural shock, and I think he still does.

 

We get together with South Africans in our area for a lekker braai about once a month. Check FB for some South African in the USA groups.

 

Try to settle into a routine. If you are looking for a job wake up and spend X amount of hours looking for a job. Try to spend time exploring your new area.

 

And, you just arrived in the USA don't worry everything is still new and overwhelming!

Hey dear, 

I'm a South African citizen also. Met my husband in Jan this year, We just recently got married and living in Ohio. I was a bit disappointed with the foods since our brands totally differ from theirs. I immediately missed my rooibos tea. Lol. And they not familiar with using a kettle when making tea. Instead they use either small pots and place them on a stove or stove kettles that whistle when they boil. lol.

Anyways, Its pretty fun because I'm finally living with the love of my life. We submitted our documents through our immigration attorneys two weeks ago. and awaiting biometrics forms and interview. When we first met it was all rosy lol. I have never been married before in my life. And we tend to have challenges and fight at times. Its hard yes. But we love each other. I'm an IT Consultant and being at home is killing me. However, I do some part time work for my clients back at home, they don't pay much but I'm getting something at least. You'll love it here. Yes the people are extremely different, some are friendly, some are weird, just like back at home. I've learnt that people differ no matter where in the world you've been. 

All the best with everything dear. Hope all works out for you.

So you spoke with an attorney to get good solid legal advice from a professional and then having received that advice you showed up here to ask some non-attorneys?

 

When taken together with the story told in the original post, I'm smelling a troll.

True, one thing I've noticed about this whole issue is, one needs to get their facts straight first before posting on here. Do your homework, do your research. I've learnt that the hard way.
