Time flies fast. Here we go.... December.... :dance:

Not fast enough! :wacko: Waiting for this NOA2 is like waiting for Christmas to come when you're a little kid...only much worse! At least with Christmas you knew what day to look forward to, and you could count down the days on the calendar or by cutting the links on the chain. But alas, we must wait indefinitely until the USCIS gods decide to have mercy on us! 83 days and counting... :whistle: (Although it will be much BETTER than Christmas when we finally get approval!! :thumbs: )

I am with you, not fast enough! But hey, an August filer got a NOA2 today, so it shouldnt be too much longer. Gives me hope for January. Maybe December if I get the lottery too. haha

Time flies fast. Here we go.... December.... :dance:

Not fast enough! :wacko: Waiting for this NOA2 is like waiting for Christmas to come when you're a little kid...only much worse! At least with Christmas you knew what day to look forward to, and you could count down the days on the calendar or by cutting the links on the chain. But alas, we must wait indefinitely until the USCIS gods decide to have mercy on us! 83 days and counting... :whistle: (Although it will be much BETTER than Christmas when we finally get approval!! :thumbs: )

I am with you, not fast enough! But hey, an August filer got a NOA2 today, so it shouldnt be too much longer. Gives me hope for January. Maybe December if I get the lottery too. haha

I noticed that too!! Even though it was at Vermont....it still a ray of hope! :innocent:

I filed right at the end of September. So when you guys start getting your NOA2 I am going to be going crazy!! At least with VJ we can see what is happening in the real world .. imagine just having the UCIS website and getting NO update about who is really getting processed.

An NOA2 in Janaury would be wonderful. My fiance and me have been saying that we are hoping for February ...

Let's say... I am looking at the half-full glass of water... ;) We know that NOA2 would be sometime early next year. Maybe, if December ends. I will feel anxious of waiting for NOA2. Maybe, better enjoy the holiday season and to those who will move from their families like me, this would be the best time to spend more time with our family and friends because it would take quite sometime to see them again if we move with our SO.

Of course, I am being hopeful that my case would be process faster like the rest of us here. But, can you be more realistic? I mean, why will you expect to get approval at the third month of your filing if the normal realistic process can be 4-6 months. Why insist something if it isn't yet time to come unless otherwise it is special case that need to be consider.

Thats my point..... why I am taking things cool this time. Most of us here are in normal track. I guess, so far.... most of us here are in right track then.

How can you be too damned Philosophical if you are just being Optimistic...... :)

In my own opinion, I couldn’t get any benefit by being impatient for all the things, but it doesn’t mean I am not looking forward. Everything has designated time. :lol:
