That's great news! But,  it would be better if the interviews were the same way! The separation and waiting is the worst knowing that we're so close to eventually being with our loved ones.....

We also had a crazy fast turnaround.  Our last required docs were submitted on 28 May to NVC.  They were approved today, June 1st.
 
All that's left is to schedule the interview / Dr. apt with the Embassy.  "Hurry up and wait" comes to mind given the COVID ordeal and unknown date when interview services will open again in Tokyo.

Another approval!  We were pretty worried because our case was transferred FROM Texas TO Vermont
Turns out, it wasn't the 1.5 year delay we were expecting.  If anyone else is in this boat, it worked out for us!
 
Priority Date: 31 Dec - Texas Service Center
NOA-1: 4 Jan
Transfer to Vermont: 23 Feb
Case Status Update: 23 Feb, 1 May, 11 May, 12 May
NOA-2: 12 May
 
Best of luck everyone!
