Congrats DesiDon! My check still hasn't been cashed, so I'm not sure what's up with that, but as long as my NOA1 is in my hands, I don't care when they cash it. :lol:

Thanks a bunch WhidbeyGirl!

Just in case anyone else has the same problem I mentioned earlier about not being able to access the petition status online or through the phone system, you will want to call them. I just got off the phone with them and they're blaming a "computer glitch". They sent a notice to their tech support but cannot say how long it will take tech support to fix it. It's probably just as well. Otherwise I'd just be checking the website 20 times a day. :yes:

OK ladies and gentlemen I've made some major updates to the sheet. As I said before I'm a number-oholic and I LOVE spreadsheets and computing stuff. So, I have divided the sheet up into the different service centers and put in anticipated dates for upcoming stops in our journey. The anticipated dates are based on the highest averages in the service centers and for consulates. The reason I used the highest averages is because for myself I would rather be surprised when an event happens sooner than expected than to be disappointed and upset because things aren't happening as expected.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pqY...6si907JL29J7OOQ

OH and when you get your NOA2 much sooner than the date anticipated it changes the rest of columns too. Also, periodically I'll check the averages and change them too if things get faster.

You shouldn't have to. I just looked at it without being signed on. My very first link (a few pages back) you did cause I messed up but the above link should work just fine.

That is excellent work, WhidbeyGirl! Thank you very much for setting that up! You rock! One thing though... the Texas Service Center doesn't deal with I-130 petitions, so I think it's an error in the timelines of those who have it listed as their service center.

Fixed it. Not sure what the issue was - oh well.

I put those who had Texas as their service center in the UNKNOWN category, although now that I think about it. If Texas doesn't do I-130's then how come they are on they Immigration Timelines with averages? Hmmmm maybe they used to??
