Hi everyone :)

May I put out a request to put timelines in signatures - so then everyone can keep track of progress and follow along?? That would be great :)

Also, I was looking through the timelines and stats and see a lot of Feb filers who have Texas still designated as their service center - if you didn't change yours to CSC or VSC when you got your NOA1 please go into your timeline and update it. It will help with Igor's list... I am already obsessively checking it in hopes of seeing massive approvals every day - have a feeling I may be waiting quite a while before I see that.

Thanks everyone - enjoy the rest of your weekend!

2-11-11 | I-129F sent

2-16-11 | NOA1

6-06-11 | NOA2

Agreed! I am hoping our NOA2 will come in April while I am visiting my fiance in California :) It would be amazing.

Although I am completely not ready for what comes after that!
