September 2010 K1 Filers

[mj_nj 0]

At least when it is time to file for AOS we will both be together. So the waiting for that, to go through the system, will be much less painful.

And remember that the statistics and timelines on this forum can only be determined from the number of members on VJ. With less than 100 members in each month leading up to our September filers, we are only a fraction of the petitions going through Vermont. We are hoping and praying to see alot of VJ members from July and August get approved in the coming weeks, and then it's our turn!

It will be interesting to see how our timelines compare, with only 2 days between our NOA1 and going through the same consulate.

Have a great week!

agreed!! The thoughts in my head are most people that filed dont post updates to vj in my brain I think lots have been approved we are just unaware ( wishful thinking im sure) I am anxious to see how we compare also!!!

You guys have a great week too!!

Think end of February to mid march for a moving date. And that is only if we get approved in the next month. Looking at the latest stats, processing times between NVC receiving the petition and London interviewing is just over 3 months at the moment. Ella and Octav are lucky to be going through Bucharest, who have just over a months wait for the same thing.

It's exactly one month from noa2 to interview in Bucharest, RO now.(And Moldova has its own Consulate now, so we're even better.) I know it from my friends that already passed the interview.

So yes... waiting for the NOA2 is the longest wait.

But we'll eventually pass through this! Ameribrit, if that's how long it takes to get an interview from London's Consulate... then, I'll have you in my prayers to be approved in November or December. So that you can move to your sweetie ASAP. I know this waiting sucks and maybe we'll be lucky enough to have a BIG reason to smile at the end of this year!

Greetings September filers,

Almost having been a September filer myself and being in the same situation as you are currently in now, I hope all of you receive approvals from USCIS soon and that the remainder of the process is hassle free as much as possible.

[En&Em 1]

I don't have a predicted date either although I'm with VSC. It says the same thing about their not being enough data to accurately approximate a date. Is that because of Croatia not having enough data?

Sorry for the delay in reply. I did not see the notice of your comment.

Anyway, we both have predicted NOA2 dates now. As seems to be the case right now at least, VSC is about one month ahead of CSC. But CSC seems to be picking up. I am happy about that, even if I would still like them to speed up more...

As for the delay in the predicted date for you, I think it was just that your NOA1 date was on the later end of September. The VJ system seems to need some time before it will predict an NOA2 date. I do not think it was because of Croatia. I don't think VJ takes the country into effect at the USCIS stage.

Good luck, and best wishes for a speedy process!

It is at the moment, unfortunately. I have seen two months achieved before, but rarely. At least we will be kept busy with sorting the medical and getting packet3 done. Not to mention getting ready for the move.

Hope we all have our NOA2 soon

Thanks for the reply! It ended up being my error actually, I had filled in my timeline wrong..duh! I have a predicted date now that's constantly changing so fingers crossed that it keeps changing to be earlier and earlier...come on approvals! Let's get through the summer applicants!

I see that most for you are getting your NOA 1's in. Here are a few time lines for our forum to give ya'll an idea of what we went through. By no means is this the "end all-be all" for time lines.

Well that sucks...I'm going through the London Embassy too and I can't WAIT!!!

i feel your pain. I'm sure everyone here feels the same. This whole waiting, for them to even look at the petition, just sucks. With July filers still waiting for NOA2 it looks like the VJ timeline estimate for NOA2 is about right, if not a little conservative.

All i want for Christmas is an NOA2, is that too much to ask.

Here's hoping we all get our NOA2 sooner than expected, so that we can get through our respective consulates and back to our loved ones ASAP.

No, it's not too much to ask... Come on, we're September Filers, we haven't sent the petition just a week ago. We pretty much deserve the NOA2 for Christmas. At least that can help us stay strong and be happy for the holidays.

I'm praying to God we can get it maybe this month or in December at least. Pleeeeease, God!!
