Damn... Shawn has called the NVC twice now (yesterday and today) and they haven't received our stuff from the CSC yet... Our NOA2 was March 31st - just hope they haven't misplaced it! Hopefully it'll be there very soon.

Emi

Sorry - don't know how my reply posted twice!

Spencer12 - don't worry, I've seen a few other people who've had a touch and then nothing for a while. Some cases seem to get a lot of touches and others hardly any - the frustrating thing is that there's no real way of knowing what the touch means! It could be that your file has been given to an officer to process, or moved from one location to another. We didn't get any touches from the day after we got our NOA1 until we were approved, then we got a touch the day after the NOA2. I'm sure that you'll be approved very soon, going by the dates of other people being approved at the moment.

Hang in there, it'll all be fine!

Congratulations everyone!

Sundrop: I know what you mean about the feeling of relief, I too had convinced myself we'd have a long wait to endure. It's really cool that our timelines are almost identical! Maybe we'll be having our interviews at the same time! (if so, let's grab a celebratory coffee after!!)

Good luck everyone who's still waiting - let's hope that CSC keeps up it's speedy work!

We're officially at day 50 and it's lunchtime at CSC. Out of interest, for those with NOA2s - what time of day, using California's time zone (PST), did your update notifications arrive?

Hi Sundrop

We received the update notification email from USCIS at 6.45 a.m. UK time, which is 10.45 p.m. California and Arizona time. That surprised us! I don't know if they have people working overnight or what, but that was the time on the email. I'm not complaining! I'd just got up for our skype date and checked my email, saw something from USCIS and thought "oh no maybe it's an RFE!" - when I read the approval notice I cried my eyes out, I was so happy and relieved.

I've heard of people receiving their notifications on a weekend too so maybe they really are working all hours. I really hope you get your NOA2 soon, I'm sure you will! Who knows, maybe we'll be flying out to Arizona together!

Emi

Thank you everyone!

Audy_Rob - we're very much jumping up and down with excitement, don't worry about that! We just haven't had much of a chance to post here, that's all. Seeing that email this morning was the best feeling - I was starting to wonder if they were ever gonna look at our petition! I know we got approved relatively quickly, compared to some other people, but until we got the approval doubts were starting to creep into my mind - when I saw the case update email I was half expecting to find an RFE so I was over the moon to see that they've approved us!

Good luck to everybody who's still waiting - it's totally worth the wait, believe me. I'd imagined the moment so many times but it was so much better than I ever could've guessed!

Oh and CONGRATS to everyone else who's got their NOA2. Here's hoping for a quick journey for all of us!

Emi

Guess who just got their NOA2! I can't remember the last time an email made me so happy. Why don't you go ahead and move us to the "Approved" section?

I'm a little late to the party, but we got a touch (I think) on 2/10/10 and haven't seen/heard anything since.
