Actually up to 3 now... but the other two were mid july filers... sheesh, july is old news, we want august approvals! Three in a day ain't bad thought and I guess we gotta let them approve the july filers so they don't come in and rain on our parade about how unfair USCIS is and all that jive...

I'm king again, it's been a while, and now that I'm king, I declare this page of the thread the official get your NOA2 before christmas page... I don't really know what the heck that actually means but it's official and can't ever be changed.

Wow the person directly in front of me on Igors got approved, I hope this is a good sign. We had the same sent date but my NOA1 was before his. I can feel it, I am getting a Christmas NOA2!!

I am so silly, I look for excitement in the most silly things... I loaded up the timelines on VJ, put them in NOA1 order and since "LEE and HOLLY" got approved, (their NOA1 was August 19th), my timeline can now be seen on the same page as a "normal" August approval, without scrolling... lol, they are the line all the way on the bottom of the screen and we are the one all the way on top, barely fitting in the screen haha. Its just so exciting when compared to how much I used to have to scroll to see how far I was from an NOA2.

Maliciant, I pledge my allegance to u sir, and hope your declaration at the beggining of the page turns out to be prophetic, lets go NOA2s!!!

You do have to appreciate VSC and CSC's randomness. I mean you know it would make sense to just do the K-1 visa's in the order they were received, but then where is the originality in that. It makes much more sense to do approvals in completely random order with no rhyme or reason to the madness. It is even smarter of them to be like the last agency in the goverment to still use 30 pages of paperwork vice electronic scans. Way to dam the man and keep it old school Immigration Department!

Yeah, imagine I would have gotten my NOA 2 one or two months ago with everybody else from June. How boring would that be. Now I will have a real reason to open a bottle of Champagne and get things done asap after the approval so we can start our new life together and won't hang in limbo like that now anymore...

Congrats to the lucky bastards who got approved from August already :star: !!! I really don't wish for anybody to wait longer than 6 or 7 months.

Just one question here again as it bothers me a lot. I know our case got assigned Nov 13 to an officer at VSC. Is anybody here who has information like that on their case and has been approved? How much longer can it possibly take??
