Hi, I am a February filer but I stopped by because I am nosy.

Actually, you keep your timeline in your signature so people can quickly see the dates without clicking to get the OFFICIAL timeline.

Enter your official timeline to have it compiled in with the VJ statistics.

To enter an official timeline (I just made up the OFFICIAL part):

At the top of the page, click on Immigration Timelines,

Then click on Add/Edit My Timeline

Then enter your email address and a password

Now enter the date information to actually create the OFFICIAL timeline that is used to make the VJ statistics.

Most of you can enter,, Date I-129F sent, NOA1 Date.

OK ???

Good luck to all

Auby, I am really interested in your case. I am curious to see how long it takes from NOA2 approval to interview at BKK. Lets hope the Reds stay away from the USEM.

I have no idea ! but you should take a look at february filers, because they are ahead of us and are waiting for the same thing as you. Maybe some already received it and can give you an estimation day.

Also if you want to share experience with "vermont march filers" here is the link.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/244884-march-2010-filers-vermont-service-center/

Remember also to edit your timeline ! It's very helpful for VJ and for you because you can track date and compare with other.

A Feb. filer with a NOA1 date of 2/25, recently received their NOA2... So it seems the CSC is now starting to work on the last week of the Feb. filers.

There are still a lot of Feb. filers waiting for their NOA2s in the second half of the month... I would definitely like some more of our March filers to finally get some CSC love... :thumbs: (Day 42 for us) (Fingers crossed) :D

There are still some February filers who have not received NOA2 yet. Also, I am worried CSC has slowed down as last week I did not see many approvals, only 3 or 4.

I do hope CSC can return to its previous rate of approvals.

It is hard to tell how many petitions the service center approves each day. Visa Journey is only reflects a small percentage of the number of petitions actually being filed/approved. I think that the USCIS should post how many petitions they approved daily with dates of each NOA processed. This is 2010 and we should not be in the dark like we are.

I've noticed the same thing... At the same time I've noticed the processing time statistic drop down to 55 days... :thumbs: Can't really rely on that number but it's still nice to see, better than what the VSC people have to stare at. Also I'm not sure what that means, I would expect March people starting to get NOA2s to help drive that statistic.

I've noticed at least a few of the early Feb. filers have received for the most part early NOA2s in the beginning of March.

It's almost mid April and not one March filer NOA2 yet... I hate to say it, but you may be right, the CSC might be slowing down somewhat, plus looking at Sundrop's list on days to NOA2, it slowly crept up from the 30-40 days to 40-50 days...

also when looking at previous years, it seemed that february filers went rather fast but it slowed down again for march filers.. last year many march filers got their noa2 in july/august..

Last year (2009) for example on Visajourney, there were 94 people filing in February, and 134 people filing in March. This year, there are 68 filers in February and 84 filers in March. That's a ~40% drop compared to February from last year and ~60% drop compared to March of last year.

Using Visajourney as a sample, I would think that the overall demand dropped in a fairly similar fashion. Plus, I think with the economy still being in a poor state, the level of H1-B visa demand has also decreased... All of this should go in our favor...

Based on that I hope we get brisk NOA2 approvals as well...

(Right now I'm having trouble looking at the USCIS website, maybe they are updating the numbers or loading a massive amount of NOA2 approvals...) :dance:
