WOW!!! Congrats on all the approvals! I am happy coz mom is not feeling any more pain now. She'll be on medication and will be under observation. If the pain comes back- that's the only time they'll do surgery. She's fighting and I am her biggest fan. Thank God!

Give us those NOA2s now! My sisters need 'em!

I called the NVC and got our Manila Case Number. Looks like I just need to gather the documents and call the USEM to schedule for interview. The medical is a first-come-first-served basis. The strain is because my daughter has school and I don't want her to keep missing class. Looks like we don't have a choice though. sad.gif

For the first time, I would like to kick my fiance's a$s. He still hasn't filed for the employment letter! Nice! And the bank statements? Not done yet. hmmm... Looks like I could take a 6'2" guy down with a good killer kick!

Oh my goodness... I can't stop my tears. Approvals are really coming in.

Mara, MARM, Dani, Mia and all the others still waiting, you are all in my prayers. This experience has been really humbling and I can't believe just how much strength everybody here has. Thank you all guys for being each other's support system ever since the start.

My mother is in the hospital right now as she has been feeling faint since Sunday and is having some pain on the right side of her tummy. When I brought her to the hospital last night, they found out that her blood sugar was at the 400s and they were all trying to bring it down the whole night. She's now still at 160 and they will monitor her for the rest of the week. I am glad she finally went though as she hates hospitals. I was feeling really down earlier. But seeing all of you getting by and exploding like crazy when someone gets an approval and pushing each other up, I still consider myself lucky. What are the odds that people I have never even met personally would be my friends and would be the very set of people who would hold my hand (virtually smile.gif ) and try their best to put that smile back on my face. These things surpass religion, culture, race and geography. The Big Guy up there has every good reason why we are all here. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

Ok guys... Let's bring 'em drums and party poppers and rock the house!

USCIS - WE NEED THOSE NOA2s NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will go back to Mom now. Hang in there everyone! Talk to you all soon!

Maliciant - who can call NVC? Does it matter if I call them instead of SO? What details do they need to track if my petition approval has reached them?

QUOTE (maliciant @ Jan 26 2009, 11:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
What to do after getting the NOA2... is actually the same thing as before, you have to wait some more, they'll send your petition to NVC, after a few days NVC will assign a case number and send it to the embassy (usually, sometimes people get stuck in AP/AR, pray you don't need to know). You can call NVC after about a week or so and ask them for the case number if they've got one, find out if it's been sent to the embassy yet (they can tell you when and using that date you can find out when it arrives at the embassy).

What you really need to do though is start reading up on the embassy reviews, and checking out the regional forum your embassy is in. Part of why you don't know what to do after the NOA2 is because up until that point everyone is in the same process so everyone is talking about that part, but once you get your NOA2 there is a short visit to NVC and that's where everyone has different things to do based on their countries requirements/processing. Each embassy has different requirements based on local laws and different behavior/burdens of proof. I haven't read much on pakistan but the number of people that seen to end up in some form of administrative process/review (think of it as a horrible extra delay presumably for security checks) in the country seems pretty high, it seems almost any time I see someone talking about it they have the pakistan flag. I imagine it's not a very easy embassy to deal with, so seriously, get to work researching what to do in the regional forums, you probably should have been doing this from the beginning here! I recommend even the canadian's and brits spend time in their regional forums too though they probably have the least need based on the fact that those countries are just america with funnier accents (similar legal structure, religious views, and economies).

Awww... Thank you all guys. You are all so sweet and this is the best group and network in the world.

I am a little better now though, just so busy at work. Thing is SO is getting depressed lately. It started last week when he told me it's getting really bad and stronger each day that he's longing for me it really brings him down. I have been trying to cheer him up but looks like I am failing miserably. sad.gif

Any thoughts? He's always been the stronger person since this whole waiting game started but seems like we're switching roles lately. sad.gif

Just wanted to let you all know that we were approved on January 16, 2009. Went to the mail box today and the approval notice was there. We never got any touches or notices sent to us through email.
