What can i do! I recieved my NOA1 on October 2nd. I called USCIS (california) and they said i have to wait 6 months from the time i recieved the NOA1 before i can call and ask them to hurry the heck up. I've been reading other people's posts and it seems that most everyone else has recieved their NOA2's!! even people who filed after me. I want to punch a wall.. *sigh*. Its been so long already...

Is there ANYONE else waiting for their NOA2 who recieved their NOA1 in october or earlier? I think im really the last one left in the dust. I've been forgotten. great. I should have sprayed the paperwork with perfume or something right? or put little sparklies on the paper or something? anything to make them want to get back to it quicker... :(

so depressing.......

Hi...

Yes, many many MANY people are still waiting. Some filers from May, June and July are still waiting for their petitions.

It's unusual to get an NOA2 two months after receiving NOA1.

There have been a few in the last few days but it's rare.

It usually takes 4 to 6 months to get your NOA2.

Have some patience, it's a long road even after NOA2. More mailing back and forth and then there is the wait for an interview.

Stay strong (F)

Let's Keep the Song Going!!!

You must be joking! There are still May June July August and September filers without an NOA2! In most cases its taking between 4 - 6 months to get an approval, and in some unfortunate cases even longer. So, I wouldn't freak out just yet.

Unfortunately it seems most of those who have received their NOA2 are people who filed in Vermont. You, I, and many others who filed at the CSC (california) are still waiting. It's hard to watch october filer after october filer get approved while CSC slowly ponders along, but at least we have the support of our fiance's, the wonderful people on this forum, and the knowledge that (though it takes time) the day will come when we're approved.

I just keep praying that somehow our petition lands on the top of every pile and speeds through. :)

Hey,don't be comparing with many others.It's not the way it works.

As long as you're not out of the timelines that they give you,you're fine.

It's natural for you to be nervous and to be missing your lovedone,but it's nothing unusual that's heppening with you.

Relax,and pray!

We're just about a week behind you on our NOA1. The AVERAGE is about 3 months, but that's no guarantee. I figure I'll be patient another month and then give a call. No need to freak out, just yet! We're in the same boat. Any day now...... (Although I have to admit that it's not hopeful to see people from MAY still waiting...) Best of luck to us all!

I waited the entire 6 months for my petition to be approved. If I started worrying at 3 months, I would have been to a psychiatrist for anxiety pills already. Calm down :P it's very VERY rare to get an NOA2 in under 4 months.

No need to worry yet. Try to focus on your future and not to obsess about NOA2 yet. If you don't have NOA2 by May then it's time to get upset.

I'm sure you'll get your NOA2 within a reasonable timeframe. :thumbs:

Good luck!!!!!!!

In every difficulty lies an island of opportunity.
