Cip,

It looks like website displays the notice date.

Processing is based on receipt date, the date USCIS receives your I-130 petition.

Priority date is irrelevant for immediate relative petitions, but sometimes they keep priority date and receipt date same.

:) I just hoped to gain few more days :unsure: This waiting is killing me softly. I miss my wife and just thinking that we must reunite asap because the life is short and the clock is ticking, the life is passing by us.

So which one should I pay more attention to: the date on the uscis.gov page that is August 11 in our case, or priority date printed on NOA1 hard copy, which is August 1?

Skynaut, is sad, we are in the same position, me personally did not seen my wife since 9 March last year, only on internet. Imagine the joy that I will have in December 22 when she will visit me for 3 weeks and spend the New Year with me. This is the reason that ... the ticking clock and life passing by. But look at the good side, the process will reach the end soon and all will be with the ones they love. :dance: .It seems to me that NOA2 in on the way soon 2-4 weeks.

wow you haven't seen your wife for so long!!!! That's too long.. unbelievable what this system is doing to us... I haven't seen my hubby for almost 2 months already and don't know how soon I will see him again :( I miss him a lot, so I understand you well.

But you're right, we have to be positive and hope for the best! That's why I hope that for Christmas uscis will give us a very big gift hehehe Counting days and I know that day by day we are getting closer there :)
