The inconsistency in USCIS processes is ridiculous. I am extremely frustrated how people can range from 15 days to over 2 years for approvals. If you guys have not posted your comments in the news article on USCIS website, I encourage everyone to post a reply to let the world know how pathetic of an organization it is.

please don't be overly concerned about this.

our petitions (130 and 129) were approved last april yet to date, according to the uscis website, our 130 is still pending.

in reality, the 130 has been pending before the nvc for almost 2 months now, while the 129 has been forwarded to the consulate (i'm due for k3 interview this june)

good luck on your journey!

Are there any December 07 folks that recently got their NOA2? I feel that there's only a few of us left that are still left in the dark.

I see that quite a few January and February are getting their approvals already.

Those few of us will be joining 256+ days club.... seems like

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

i filed my i-130 on december 17th. i have already crossed the 180 day mark. i want to call uscis and find out what's going on, but i don't know if that will actually do anything. have any december filers that are still pending called uscis to find out what's going on. what sucks on top of that is that i am at vsc, which is moving at the pace of snails.

btw, the 180 day rule, does that apply from the date you filed or the date of your noa1?
