February 2008 filers

[Islandwoman 0]

SCREAMING and GRINNING ear to ear because I just got the NOA2.

Just spoke with Pete last night by phone and he sounded down and bored -- "can't get there soon enough." Before I went to bed I checked the USCIS site and it was still received and pending. Not even touched. But I knew from here that it's been taking about 39 days so I was thinking maybe soon........

I never did get the email that I had signed up for telling me but our lawyer called this morning and she'd had an email from Vermont. I've been frantically trying to call Pete but can't get through. His computer is down too so he doesn't KNOW YET. Wait until he finds out. Somebody do the numbers for me -- I'm too excited to count. Was it about 40 days?

Congrats to you!! Update your timeline and it will do the math for you.

I just can't understand how people are being approved in a little over a month! I was expecting to wait until the summer to even get looked at! And according to the processing times on the website, they are only processing September applications. How is everyone getting approved so fast?

My boyfriend called USCIS and they said he should have got a letter, and they would send another one.

I will try to be patient.

yea it's amazing! i got my noa2 notices on email too! i should about to get the hard copy soon!

Congratulations newenglander... from another newenglander!

Congratulations to you as well MeteorRain.

psalm... processing times on the USCIS website are to protect themselves so people don't call. Although there are some 'stragglers', they are rarely working on the dates they say they are. VSC is processing quite fast these days but it still all depends on which adjutictor's desk you end up on. Good luck to you.

I hope the rest of you February filers are approved soon!

I can sympathize with you as I am in the same boat. Just not our time yet........

Congrats to all who had their time come!!

The waiting is hard, but its a necessary evil in this process. I too get discouraged when I see approvals in a month or so but then I read about those unfortunate souls who had to file at the California Service Center and I realize that my wait is not as bad or as long as it could have been.

I'm still waiting to. Congratulations to all of you who got approved.

I hope the rest will get their turn soon!!!!

I live with my fiance overseas but I am leaving for NY in 10 days and everyday she comes home from work she asks if we got approved. I tell her no and she gets misty eyed.

We filed February 8th. I keep telling her that we went into this thinking we wouldn't get approved until late May or June but with the VSC surge over the last month our hope rose. She wants to be approved before I leave... it is a comfort for her that things are moving along even though I am leaving.

It's bizarre because I got so stressed about it all, and it wasn't until I decided to take a step back and try NOT checking my emails/USCIS that I got the approval. It was a relief, but you do just move on to the next stage of stress! LOL. JUst be thankful that you were able to live with your SO whilst going through this..

indeed we are happy we can be together. I can't help but check cause I am in front of a computer all day and when there is nothing to do I space out and end up here at VJ or USCIS.gov.

75% of January filers here at VJ have been approved and it would more cause the remaining 25%, over half of them are inactive on VJ. People from late February who got their NOA1 in early March have been approved. It does sux watching people who file after you get approved. I know it will come... eventually

Enjoy your few days left there - especially the weather! I am about 2 hours north of you in New York and it is cold rainy/snowy here today. Bring spring with you when you come back!!!!
