Probably not what you want to hear and there are a lot of inconsistencies but I was checking the latest data available at the USCIC website.

As a comparison - the VSC had a slightly higher overall volume compared to the CSC as reported through early January. Receipts of I129F's were about equal (within 100) but the CSC had processed a substantially higher number (800+) than the VSC.

It's hard to get real good data and averages can be very misleading.

Based on your submittal date your still quite early. Hang in there (we all know how much waiting sucks). Mentally prepare yourself for the expected wait of 3-5 months and if you receive it early it will be a pleasant suprise!

I filed back in June 2007 with the Vermont service, but it took 5 days shy of a year to get my no2. I am not saying this will happen to you, but if you filed only about a month and a half ago it will take time. Just be patient and use your time line. They estimate on the bottom how long it will take for your no2 to come in. If it goes past the date then start calling uscis. I wish you luck and hope you get a response quickly!

Just so you know, April 1st is the beginning of H1-B visa petition acceptance. The service centers will be flooded with these, because in just a few days the quotas will be reached. Last year, processing on family based visas basically stopped for several weeks when this came around. (No, this is not an April fools joke) Maybe they will balance the workload better this year - maybe they won't, but as Bernie says, prepare for the worst, and then be pleasantly surprised.
