Hey guys-- more good news on my end. My case has already been forwarded! It was received by NVC on Oct. 13th and forwarded on Oct 14th. Talk about FAST! I got my case number and will try to call the Embassy tomorrow as the operator told me she thinks it should have already arrived. This is exciting, and you all should be excited, too-- because it shows that as soon as you get your NOA2 things will really get rolling. It's just a matter of getting over that big hump in the beginning. :thumbs:

This is GREAT!! So happy for you :thumbs:

Hello, guys

Has any of you got NOA2 yet

One person from our group has (Annie Mugaya) and a few July filers as well. Not too many though.. :(

We're all waiting so patiently, and some of us not so patiently :P

I'm desperate for any news! What are they doing? Why doesn't USCIS post actual stats about productivity and completion?! It's like when you wait for the train and you have no idea when the next one is coming, it seems to take FOREVER! But if you're at a station with a countdown that tells you when the next one is coming, it's totally manageable. Why can't we have that?! I mean, I know that's technically what the 5 month estimate is for, but seriously, we all know that doesn't actually mean anything. I'm pretty sure they just made that number up.

I'm so impatient. :wacko:

The USCIS finally put up their August stats. It confirms what everybody already knew. They slowed way down in August. I expect the number to be just as low if not lower for Sept.

Dismal. Vermont completed twice as many I-129F's as California in August though, so at least there's that.

Does anyone else find it rather amusing that USCIS can't even post their stats until a month and a half later? Somewhat demonstrative of their all-around performance, I suppose. Pathetic.

To be fair if you look at the overall performance of USCIS they were actually up for the month processing 650,700 request. This also gives credibility to the news that we heard that the workers had been switched to other types of visas. Not that this eases anybodies minds in the waiting process but seeing numbers is always interesting. I do agree and wish we were getting September's numbers now instead of August.
