ImpatientKate

Just received my NOA2 in the mail. Thankfully it only took 3 says  after I had my case updated in both websites. As another person mentioned the form says to give it 2-4 for weeks until NVC apparently notifies the petitioner via mail that the petition is on its way to the embassy. I guess I'm back in the impatiantely waiting queue hehe. 

Hi everyone, 
 
Just wanted to say how awesome it is to have this forum. I've definitely been keeping up with the posts and benefited from the shared information while filling out my petition.
 
Happy to announce that I recently got my NOA2 in the mail! FYI the website hasn't been updated to show the information yet. I was checking religiously every day this month! 
 
Here's to adding another data point - 
NOA1: July 13 // NOA2: Jan 5 // 176 days 
 
Best of luck to everyone still waiting for approval! 
 
 

Folks... Folks, Folks!
 
We got a silent approval! Her dad just checked the mail today and the NOA2 was there! None of the websites have been updated as I'm writing this post.
She's with me in Brazil and I'm immensely happy that we get to celebrate this before the end of our vacation together! We're stoked.
 
NOA1 - Sep/25 (old) - Sep/30 (new)
NOA2 - Jan/08
 
I wish you all get your approvals soon!

Yay just got our approval, noa1 08/03, noa2 01/04😁

I'm happy we got our approval today in the mail but we were approved the 4th. BTW they received our RFE the 17 of last month so it took less than a month to approved. Good luck to everyone.

I get so mad when ppl tell me to be patient ... uhmmmm you try being away from your fiancé for 3-8+ months at a time and see how far patience goes. I just want to hug him! And he’s in a country that Americans can’t even get a visa so it’s not like it’s easy to hang out. I’m so glad I have you all - it’s  been a godsend. I’m def organizing a get together once we all get approved 

Right!!! I started to try to do the same to share the excitement. We are so close - can’t wait to be done and start living our life together!! Ugh I love him so much and it’s crazy how long all of this takes. I’m sure you all feel the same

Same!! And it’s hard to talk to friends and family about it because it’s hard to explain the process and how frustrating it is! Feels like only people who have been through it really understand 

Hi all

I am not new to VJ but this is my first time posting something. I filed my Petition in July and I have been silently following all you my fellow July Filers here since then. 
After painfully checking the USCIS website a million times a day for the last month, I just logged in few minutes ago and I saw that I was Approved!! (On the NEW site only. Old site still has "Received")
 
NOA1 - 07/27/18 (old site)    //   08/01/2019 (new site)
 
NAO2 (Approval Date on website) - 01/07/2019
 
I have not received the approval (NOA2) letter yet though. I am sure it will come in in next few days.

We received our NOA2 today! Approval was on the tracker app and old site- new site still says received and nothing in the mail yet. NOA1 was July 13/18

Hello everyone I have been reading everyone's posts and have gained a lot of understanding on the process from the forum as a whole, after checking the sources 2 or 3 times every day we have received our approval!!
 
NOA1: 7/6/2018
NOA2: 12/31/2018
 
It was in the mailbox this morning and both old and new websites along with the tracker app all still say received. Thanks to everyone

As I was typing a question on here about how long it takes to get an RFE response, I got a text on my phone about my case and I froze for like 2 minutes and my heart sank!!!!!
 
 
WE GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This journey is insane!!!!! I guess I move on to another page now?
 
Thanks to everyone that helped here!

Finally, and after 210 days of waiting and a RFE, we got approved ❤️😃
It was a silent approval, both website never changed. And we struggled 8 days before we got the letter in mail 😄
NOA1 6/1
RFE 12/13
noa2 12/28
I wish all of you the best luck in your journeys and you new lifes with your significant ones as well 💕

We have finally been approved. We checked the mail today and it was there 🥰🥰🥰 The official date of approval is December 29th 🥳 but we just received it yesterday. We can finally move on to the next thread!! Thank you @Greenbaum and VJ for all the help throughout this journey. Not that it’s over, but a huge part is definitely through. Goodluck everyone!! 🎉🎊 The wait is definitely worth it. 💕💕💕 

Morning! I emailed AskNVC and they confirmed the case was received and provided our case number!
 
NOA1:July 3
NOA2: Dec 6
Case #: Jan 3

Omg I got it we were approved 12/31 thank you O-J ☺️

Thank you! Wishing you the same, I know we all want our fiancées here so badly. It’s so hard missing them!

NOA2 approved 2019-01-02, received notice on new website. NOA1 June 1/June 6. Very Very Happy! 

Thank you!! Hoping that you get something soon. Be sure to be checking the new site, the one that needs two factor verification. I think that’s the one most people have seen updates on, when they do decide to update.  Best of luck!! 

Indeed. I've been checking it almost every day and I'll be checking it twice a day now... My fiancée is spending her vacation with me in Brazil and it'd be amazing to get such good news before she flies back home!

Looks like they've picked it up again!
My NOA 1 is identical to yours so I'm really hopeful now! Congrats!

Omg we were approved. Logged into new site and saw it - I checked at 8 this morning and it said received. Checked a few hours later and now approved! 
 
NOA 1: July 25th/30th
NOA 2: January 2nd
