Great! Thanks for the link.

Any ideas about the question?

Chuck - I should keep my head up but being in this waiting room for almost 5 months without any sign of NOA2 is not fun at all.

That is complicated Chuck.

It is actually much worse than what I described here, but I am trying to be encouraging.

Everytime I see a notice of reply from you, I am expecting to see a note saying you were approved - it has to be this week!

Hey Chuck - so did you actually get your expedite request approved? Cause I see you got yours in about 3.5 months, even though your timeline has something about your request being rejected. I'm just wondering if they process yours faster if you request an expedite even if they don't formally accept it?

Oh, boy! Do the Sep people get to be queens!?

Hurry up, Vermount!

I know EXACTLY how you feel sis. You too Dani.

For me the hardest bit was watching Ewok change the predicted dates for our approval, so now my timeline just screams at me to enter my NOA1 date, a document we never got, and doesnt do anything of the slightest help.

My group is very very quiet. It depends on you, guys! Unlike CA approvals for Sep, VT is very behind:(

so i guess right now we wait for an email from NVC, correct?

Not email, snail mail. By the time you receive it, your petition should be on its way to the embassy.

If you don't get stuck at NVC, that is. We have our snail-mail letter. But our case is still rotting in New Hampshire. It's been over three weeks, now. =/

Good luck.

what reasons would cause a hold up at the NVC?

I must admit I actually - do not know.

I think it's name checks, background checks, someone's buttscratchingchecks..randomrandomrandom.

What I meant to say is - our petition/case is perfectly clear and easy. No previous marriages, no name changes, no police or any other records. But we're stuck, for a reason we don't know... and won't ever find out.

I just hope they get done with it really soon, whatever they're doing. =/

the bulk of the verification should of been done at USCIS, why again at NVC...

I really don't know. It's called Administrative Processing and it's explained, I think, in the special forum down this website... NVC thing. I must admit I never really took time to read it all, since all that matters is the fact that - you can't do sh*t about it. It gets stuck and you sit and wait and......... hope your petition doesn't expire in the meanwhile.

Some get out after a few weeks, some get months and, as far as I understand, some get eaten by a grue there, too.

Three weeks and something like two days later.. meh. Not calling until Monday, then we'll see.

[Badgerella 5]

The whole thing is even more annoying because it really seems to be happening at random.

We have our NVC letter, the one that came via snail-mail. It says our case will be forwarded to the USEM (Zagreb, Croatia) within a week. So the letter itself clearly is useless and tells you nothing.

Sure it will be forwarded. Maybe. Eventually. We learned about the AP XP days after the hardcopy. We emailed them, and then called, too. Two different people on the phone so far, two different answers.

How do you know the NVC does this?

Today I was seriously at the end of my rope. and I guess that's what it takes, because...

We got the NOA2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks everyone for being so great! I seriously haven't been this excited in oh, about 5 months and 1 day

Sarah!!!!! I am SO happy for you!! I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been lurking and watching for your approval most of all! (Still anxiously awaiting Marm's too!) Congratulations!!!!

Thanks Amy&Aldo! And everyone else! I think this is going to shape up to be a good week. Aldready 14 from CSC and 10 from VCS. They are even pretty close!

Just for those who like to keep the stats straight: we were 5 months and 1 day out from having sent app, 149 days from NOA1, and number 29 on Igor's.
