All I can say (and I keep repeating) focus on the relationship.  This can be a very stressful endeavor and many good couples don't survive the rollercoaster.  Focus on love, not the process.  Look at it as if the process is purposely trying to test relationships.  Be strong and be patient. 

We have instructed over a 1000 Filipino's to do this and boy are all of them are MAD . It's gotten so bad most of us can't return back to the Philippines as their relatives are waiting for us with BIG sticks.

PLEASE do not plan too much too soon.  At least do not make any deposits.  There were so many people who lost money from the June 17 group because of delays and other issues.  It can take months to get the VOH AFTER an successful interview.
 
Do not make any real plans that cost money until after you have VOH.  This has burned so many people who had elaborate weddings planned and they couldn't proceed due to visa delays.  Do not buy plane tickets, do not put deposits down.  This is a long stressful process and don't expect everything to just fall into place.  Just a word of warning.  It is sad but people lose thousands because they assumed they would be together by a certain date.
 
We were planning a wedding between Christmas and New Years of 2017.  Luckily we never signed anything.  We got our NOA 2 in April of 2018.  There were people who filed after us who were already together and married by early December.  You just need to be patient and careful with your money.

Fingers crossed! Otherwise tomorrow will hopefully be our day. But looks like the NOA1 date should be somewhere around the 27th of September  

wait for the text/email today 😎 I got my text/email in the afternoon when they cashed my check 😎

Check has been cashed, still no NOA1 though but surely it has to be close now

It feels like I won the Bingo/Lottery 🤗🤗🤗 Now...on the way to NOA2 🙏🙏🙏

It feels great to have that in your hand, doesn't it!!!

Got my i797c noa1 in the mail today! As I was going down the stairs, I decided to be optimistic and pretend that the noa1 would be in the mailbox and I was getting quite excited with that thought.. Sure enough it was the first envelope on top!!! Feels a lot more comforting then the text message for some reason. More official I guess. Please continue to send your well wishes all! Hope the process continues like this!!!!! 💓

Just got my NOA1 in the mail, and the received date is earlier than I thought! It's actually a day earlier than USPS said they delivered it. I've updated my timeline! 

This is so helpful! 😎 I will start stalking everyone on my group lol! 🤣

Got my text today! Yipee! 😎💃🙌

I'm so happy for you! Now you can enjoy the weekend! 

Thanks Joyoussinger 😎

The text and email could still come today. Mine came late in the afternoon. Good luck! I'm hoping to read your positive update later!

Hi everyone, 
 
I shipped off my 129f application 9/11/18 with Usps to Dallas, it arrived on the 13th, and I got a text message yesterday 9/19 with a receipt number and saying that my application was received and they would be sending the official notification in the mail. I only got a text and not an email although I put both details on the electronic notification application.  Wish us luck and same to all of you!!! 😁

Hi Everyone :-)
 
I will be sending our packet tomorrow 9/14/2018.
 
I am so stoked :-)
