NIW-EB2 Approved - No interview 🙌
Hi Family!
Finally, my journey is over.
Sharing my timeline and happy to share any information you might need.
Below is a summary of the info we don’t have in my timeline.
My medical exam was done on May 18th, and besides I got the hepatitis B vaccine, the doctor didn’t show it in my form and put it as “not age appropriate “.
Because of issues about this vaccine with a lot of people, I attached my Walgreens vaccine shots.
On July 20, 2022, my case was transferred to NBC.
The RFE on 8/11/2022 was about the medical exam.
The other RFE on 8/17/2022 was about the medical exam, as well.
I sent them my medical exam on 8/18/2022 evening (priority mail).
They received my medical exam on 8/19/2022 morning in Boston (I am in Texas).
But they never updated the website with that.
My husband is under my application, and he hasn’t received the RFE for his medical exams.
We are waiting for that.
Thank God, and I wish luck to all of you.
We know how this is so stressful.
God bless everyone!

Congratulations! When was your case transferred to NBC?
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Hi AJ, good question!
On July 20, 2022.
I will update the post!
Thanks for reminding me!
S ALAug 26, 2022
@Ana Sampaio looks like this hep b vaccine is mandatory now
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Hi S AL!
Yeah, and I got this vaccine.
My doctor didn’t want to resubmit my medical exams, so I decided to attach the confirmation.
Please see this, there is a good explanation for that:

A M AAug 26, 2022
Congratulations! espero receber essa notícia logo também 🙏🏻
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Oi AMA, vai simmmmm, com certeza!
Eles não atualizaram a entrega dos exames e hj vi essa notícia. Sem entrevista 🙌🥰.
Em breve será sua vez, vai ser surpreendida (o) também ❤️
A M AAug 26, 2022
Nos enviamos os nossos exames semana passada e estamos atualizando toda hora o app 😅 sua timeline é muito parecida com a nossa, nosso processo foi 07/set/2020 e todas as aprovações foram parecidas 😅
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
AMA, amanhã fará uma semana do meu recebimento.
Vai receber essa notícia logo, com certeza! 🍾🥰
Finalmente estão andando com as pessoas de Setembro/Outubro 2020.
S BahrAug 26, 2022
congratulations! I have submitted my I-693 along with my I-485 on March 2022. It doesn’t have Hep B since it wasn’t mandatory at the time of filing and the civil surgeon said it’s not required. Did you do your first medical before May 10 of 2022 when the Hep B requirement went into effect?
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Hi S Bahr, thank you!
My exam was done on May 18th and did have the vaccine, but the surgeon didn’t show it.
So I attached my Walgreens card confirmation because he didn’t want to resubmit it.
I think you will be ok because you did before it was mandatory. Sending good vibes!
S BahrAug 26, 2022
Thanks! I hope your husband get greened soon as well! good luck!
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Thanks a lot, SBarh, I wish you luck too!
We will get this 👊

Hi Ana. congratulations! Did you just attached your Walgreens card only or you also attached a letter explaining the situation
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Thanks Eda Eda 😊
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Hi Kaso, thanks a lot!
I attached only the Walgreens card copy, no letters.
Ben SAug 26, 2022
congratulations! your timeline is similar to mine. I submitted 140 on Sep 20, 2020.

@Bruce, you have no idea about my age and what I do. This is not your business!

Thanks, Na, Kim and Ts Wife.
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
CA, muito obrigada ☺️
Logo chega a sua vez 😊
Super ManAug 26, 2022
@ Ana, thank you. I have a question. When you sent your response to rfe for medicals was the name of the person that received it at Boston FO mentioned on the FedEx tracks info. Mine said it was received by the receptionist at Tucson FO. I don’t know if it something I should worry about? I have contacted uscis by phone and they I have to wait until it is 60 days to place a SR.
Super ManAug 26, 2022
Congratulations once more. You have tried!!!!
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
@Super man, thanks again 😊
Yes, there was a name, but it was updated after around 3 days they received it.
I also was worried about it and called the USCIS, they said the same thing they said to you.
I don't think you need to worry about it, I think we are anxious and tired of the delay.
Very soon you will hear the good news! 🙌😊
Stay positive, sending good vibes.
Marge The secondAug 26, 2022
don’t be mad @bruce because you are lonely, uneducated and destitute in your own country and Ana is not 😄
C AAug 26, 2022
@Bruce stupid
C AAug 26, 2022
I just reported your comment.. I hope other people do the same
S AAug 26, 2022
such a stupid thoughts ... just report the comment
S AAug 26, 2022
I did the same, I reported his comment
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Thanks, Marge, CA, and SA, I did the same thing! 😊
Ben SAug 26, 2022
Bruce and his stupid comment gone before I report the comment 😊 Sorry Ana you have to deal this.
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Thanks, everyone!
I appreciate all your support!
This guy doesn’t belong to our chat in this post!
We are here to help each other, I am so glad with my GC and he didn’t destroy my day.
But you guys made my day!
I am happy this group is so supportive! ❤️
Ana SampaioAug 26, 2022
Hi EB2-1 GC, thanks for the congratulations and for sharing it. That is good to know.
I got the hep B vaccine, but the doctor didn’t show it, I don’t know why.
I asked him to fix it, and he didn’t want it.
This is why I sent the Walgreens vaccine card.
I hope the uscis figures out this, a lot of people are having issues, and other not.
So weird 🙁
Thanks again for the info 😊
Y HAug 27, 2022
@ Ana congrats!!!!!! also do you know which version of the i693 we are supposed to use? i haven’t received the RFE for medicals yet but was thinking for getting it done so that I can send it out right away when the RFE comes, but I am noticing that there’s 09/2021 verison and 07/22 verison, do u know which one we should use now?
Ben ktsAug 27, 2022
great, so happy for you. I remember your comments on several posts
Ana SampaioAug 27, 2022
Hi YH, thanks a lot.
I don't know which version, I got my medical exams on May 18th, so my version was 2021.
I would recommend to look the USCIS’s website and calling them.
I have seen a lot of people with issues about that.
Good luck! 😊
Ana SampaioAug 27, 2022
Hi Ben Kts, thanks a lot 😊
Good luck to you!
Ana SampaioAug 27, 2022
Hi Bruce, I should not respond to you, but I will do it politely because I’m not uneducated like you.
Yesterday I was very busy working in the US and didn't see all your comments.
I don't have time like you to judge people on social media or this kind of app. But now, I have a few minutes and will respond to all your stupid bunned questions:
I am 42 years old, a Civil Engineer, and a Project Manager.
I have done projects and buildings all around the world.
I contribute to this country for more than 6 years. Because I do well my job, the company paid me to come.
Do you still think I don't contribute to this country and don't deserve my GC?
Are you the USCIS officer to approve or not my case?
Also, do you know what NIW-EB2 means?
The National Interest Waiver (NIW) is available to foreign nationals of “exceptional ability” in the sciences, arts, or business, and advanced degreed professionals.
I am qualified for business, and this country needs my business.
Grow up baby, be a man, not a kid wasting time judging people. Take care of your life and let people do the same.
With this kind of attitude, you will not go anywhere, also people can sue you. Be careful to not mess up your life here!
Even though I am very old and fart (like you say), it’s not your business why I am here.
Be a competent professional and good person so good things will come back to you.
I did this post to help people with any questions about my application. And people have done the same thing to help each other. They clarified so many questions I had before, and of course, I would do the same thing. This is the purpose of this group.
But I see there is a very jealous one here.
I don’t care what you think. Your opinion doesn’t matter to me. If your comments are reported and banned, I don’t care too, you can keep sharing your hate and harassment, but I honestly don’t care! You don't wear my shoes.
My life is very good in America, I spread good things around me and the universe does the same thing with me.
Have a good one.
S MoonAug 27, 2022
Ana, as one member of the fam in this limbo of long waiting, I am so so so so happy your new journey has just begun!! also so elegant of you dealing with an immature manbaby. Thank you so much for sharing and wish you all the best♡
Ana SampaioAug 27, 2022
Hi S mun, thank you so much for your nice words!
I wish you all the best too 😊
Marcelo FernandezAug 27, 2022
Parabéns Ana! Muito sucesso pra você. Meu caso é de maio de 2020… sigo na espera mas botei um premium processing porque já não aguento mais… preciso de uma resposta… qualquer que seja.
Marcelo FernandezAug 27, 2022
and don’t worry about Bruce , he is just another mediocre person desperate to bring all others down so he can feel better… good job handling this in a very classy way… you deserve the best. Thanks for sharing your info and helping people around you. People are always stronger when supporting each other.
Ana SampaioAug 27, 2022
Nossa, Marcelo, quanto tempo 😓
Por alguma razão os casos de 2020 foram esquecidos, é frustante.
Desejo toda a sorte pra você e que aprovem logo seu caso. Mandando boas vibrações, e logo ouvirá boas notícias 🙌🍀
E muito obrigada pelo seu suporte também!
Exatamente, essa é a intenção do grupo, estamos todos cansados e frustrados com a lentidão dos processos, e todos merecemos uma vida melhor, então porque não nos ajudarmos?
Graças a Deus, nos Estados Unidos tem espaço e trabalho pra todos e não precisamos tratar mal as pessoas como Bruce faz 🥰🍀🙌
BTW, ele sumiu 😂
A MAug 27, 2022
Congrats Ana! I'm so excited to see longer cases like yours *finally* get approved. I know (or at least can imagine) it has been a stressful journey so it is great you are now approved and can move forward. Hope you go and celebrate! 😁😊
Ana SampaioAug 27, 2022
Hi AM, thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
Yeah, it was so stressful.
We are in the same boat, as soon we will go forward and forget about this!
Wish you all the best! 😊
Mekan KyyasovAug 27, 2022

Ana SampaioAug 28, 2022
Bruce, grow up.
If you don’t wanna see it, just stop following it.
Ana SampaioAug 28, 2022
Thank you, Mekan!
I wish you luck 😊
Na DhuAug 28, 2022
This Lunatinc @Bruce doen't deserve our response and notice.
Ana SampaioAug 28, 2022
Exactly, Na Dhu!
It is better to ignore him.
Super ManAug 30, 2022
Hi Ana have they mailed your card? My case was approved yesterday .
Ana SampaioAug 30, 2022
Hi Super Man! OMG! Congratulations 🍾
I am super happy for you!
They haven’t updated the site, I am still waiting for the card.
People are saying that takes a week!
I hope to get it this week. 🌞
Mekan KyyasovAug 30, 2022

Super ManAug 30, 2022
@Ana, thanks. please let me know when you receive your card. I am glad everything ended well.
S ASep 1, 2022
Hi Ana,
can you please share what's the status for your husband's application?
thanks
Ana SampaioSep 1, 2022
Hi S A, sure.
He is still waiting for the medical exam request.
His case was transferred to NBC on August 16th.
It’s so weird they treat it as 2 independent cases, and not a family case.
My card should be delivered by tomorrow, per the tracking number.
S ASep 1, 2022
yeah, surprisingly they treat as two separate case. Yesterday my wife's case (dependent) was updated with RFE sent for i485, while my case is still with TSC.
again, many congratulations 🎉
Ana SampaioSep 1, 2022
Thank you so much, SA.
For the combo card, it was the opposite, he got it one month before me.
I am expecting the same now. Let’s see.
I wanted to send his exam with mine, but my lawyer didn’t recommend that.
She said they could lose and it needs the bar code for each person.
I wish you the best of luck, you are almost there!
🙌😊
S ASep 1, 2022
thanks for the additional details, Ana.
I applied in Feb 2020, it's been long time .. hopefully will get soon :)
Ana SampaioSep 1, 2022
A long journey, this delay is frustrating.
Yes, you will get it soon, in this financial year! 😊
Super ManSep 1, 2022
@Ana I have update: My card was mailed to my address😀. I am grateful to God for making this a reality.
Ana SampaioSep 1, 2022
@Super Man!
OMG, congratulations!
That’s awesome news!
I am so happy for you 😊
Ana SampaioSep 1, 2022
I haven't yet.
The tracking number says that is tomorrow.
Exactly a week after the approval.
Super ManSep 1, 2022
@EB2-1GC approved Aug 2022 not yet delivered.
Ana SampaioSep 2, 2022
They sent it 5 days after the “new card is being produced” 😊
Ana SampaioSep 2, 2022
Hi Family!
I got the card now!
Yeah! 💚🍾🍀🇺🇸
Thank God!
Super ManSep 2, 2022

Ana SampaioSep 3, 2022
Thank you, my friend! 😊
A MSep 7, 2022
hey Ana - did they let you know that your case was transferred to NBC from Texas? My I-140 was approved August 2 and found out my case is now under NBC jurisdiction since September 2. Only found because I asked in the USCIS live chat. Not sure if that is a good sign or not.
A MSep 7, 2022
All of my forms were concurrently filed in Nebraska
Ana SampaioSep 7, 2022
Hi AM, yes, they sent a letter saying that my case was transferred to NBC.
I think you will hear good news soon because your case is in nbc.
A MSep 7, 2022
Sure hope so! Thank you for answering my question and the support. 🙏
Ana SampaioSep 7, 2022
Anytime!
Wishing you good luck and you will get your GC this financial year! 😊🙌🍀
A MSep 7, 2022
Thanks Ana - my case literally just updated to say it was transferred to another office today. 🤣
Ana SampaioSep 7, 2022
Yay! Their system is crazy 😄
A M ASep 7, 2022
So happy to see all of you guys being approved 🥰
A M ASep 7, 2022
Hey Ana, did you get any update on your husband's case?
Eda EdaSep 7, 2022
guys, have you heard its been said that, for eb2 and eb1 USCIS reached to their limit. anyone has information about this?
Y HSep 7, 2022
@ Eda Eda, I just saw that on Twitter too. seems like all the visa numbers are used up for this fiscal year and there won’t be any approvals until new numbers are issued? i can’t find anything official or an announcement just Twitter posts on this though.
Y HSep 7, 2022
@ A M, do you know where your case is transferred to?
A MSep 7, 2022
@YH - Not yet. I just received the update to my account last night.
I wouldn't go off of Twitter posts for my official news. Last I read from USCIS there were still ~70k EB visas unused as of August 20th. So I suppose anything is possible, but no sense stressing over the rumor mill.
Eda EdaSep 7, 2022
thank you guys. I guess we will wait and see
