You're not the only one without a NOA2. I'm at VCS too, but I've seen some people from VSC get approved in about 3 months, and that's better then 8 or 9 months.

Congrats to all the very LUCKY February filers!

02/9/09: Sent I-130 package through USPS next day delivery

02/10/09: Package received at the Chicago lockbox

02/17/09:NOA1

03/04/09: Touched

03/27/09: Touched

03/30/09: Touched

What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger!!

Just got a call from my mom saying that she got a letter EARLY LAST WEEK saying that we're APPROVED!!! That was pretty quick....though I was sort of expecting it seeing as everyone was seeming to get there approvals in such a timely manner. YAYYYY!!!!!

Can't wait till my mom forwards the noa2 hardcopy to me soon........it'll feel so amazing to finally have it and hold it in my own two hands. :D . Wonder when nvc will send us our packet...........

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

And...congrats to everyone else on their approvals...and welcome back Whidbeygirl! ^_^.

......and GOOD LUCK to everyone who is still waiting. I'll be praying for all of you. Just hold on SomberCat.....the Canadians shall not be forgotten. ;).

oh and btw....don't have an exact date yet but will let everyone know the noa2 dates as soon as I receive and read it. :)

Congrats Mumtaz! It's really cool that you're with your husband too so you can celebrate. :dance:

Ye, MumtazG38! Congrats!! :dance:

Chrissy e Ben, I called the NVC last night and was told by the operator to call back early next week (Monday). He said to give it time as it normally takes at least a couple of weeks to get it processed. I want to start the NVC journey already. :whistle:

As for everyone, hang in there. I'm rooting for you all. I want us to go through the NVC journey together. :star:

Don't worry you guys. There are still lots and lots of us at CSC who don't have NOA2s yet, so even though you're at VSC, you're not alone. I'm sure they'll have them to you in no time. Think happy thoughts. :luv:

Posted

OK so the spreadsheet is updated with all the latest and greatest info (CONGRATS to all NOA2 receivers!).

Ani thanks for your spreadsheet and ideas. I changed the order to be in NOA1 received order - although y'all will notice there IS NO rhyme or reason or even a pattern for NOA2 issuance, other than VSC is yet to issue one. I only included those who filed their I-130 in February, you have some from January and several from March. Also there were a couple of Feb filers who have that they already have interview so I think they are on a different process than the rest of us. I only found one that I missed and that's because they didn't have a timeline and I took all my data from the timelines.

For those who are worried about getting NOA2, PLEASE don't stress yourselves over it, really all you are doing is causing harm to your body. Average NOA2 issuance for CSC is 99 days and VSC is 212 (over the last 3 months). I put the anticipated column there for EVERYONE's benefit - don't expect it until the date and then when it comes early you can be estatic and joyful of the speed of the process.

Thanks! One of my favorite programs is Excel (I think it can do everything except make the coffee! :)) Google docs is similiar, not as good though. Anyways, I love working with spreadsheets and numbers. If I could work with numbers and stats all day I would be in heaven!
