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.......

Dont worry so much. We received our NOA1 in October also. It takes about 6 months now for NOA2

Donato - and all others that are freaking out... just a success story here for you. Don't worry too much is my first piece of advice. Second is to schedule a visit to see your mate. This will help you focus on that instead of waiting for the USCIS.

My story: We filed last march, and she arrived to me here at the end of August. So 5 months. Of course I was at the vermont center however I had an RFE to slow things down. It was VERY stressful because we just wanted to be together. Don't let that stress weaken your relationship.

Now she has been here for 5 months and we are EXTREMELY happily married. Life is great.

This time will come for all of you also. Be patient it will happen.

:)

BTW I visited her a total of 4 times in Russia while we waited for the visa approval. This helped both of us to deal with the delays much better.

OH>>> Edited to add: CALL USCIS again! Depending on who you talk to they may give you more information. I called USCIS MANY times during my wait. It is our tax dollars and the fees that give them a job - so damnit use the number and request information. The right person can find out exactly where your file is.

Are you kidding? We filed our petition in October and it took 2 months (!) to get only NOA-1! :wacko: So, not to get too much upset we don't expect NOA-2 earlier than April-May timeframe! I know couples who have been waiting for their NOA-2 for 7-9 and still have nothing :help: Hopefully, we will not have their "luck" but if i were you, I would be ready to wait at least another month.
