There is no need to be so overly dramatic. They aren't ruining your life. They are going to do EXACTLY what you want them to do. But because they aren't doing it as soon as you snap your fingers and t

Please stop arguing with people. This thread is for support and you are free to vent but it is unhelpful to everyone to deliberately attempt to quash anyone's positivity. VSC and CSC alternate const

First of all... Hey, guys! The light of the group is here. Am I too optimistic if I'm guessing NOA2 will come late February? I hope I'm not. I really want it and I rely on God. I always have. "

I didnt hear anything from USCIS yesterday like they promised last week. Looks like its about time to hit the phones and hit up representatives again. Although, I didnt expect to hear anything, they should promise a few days ago to get back with me on Monday and then not do it if they arent able to. :bonk:

I would say to everyone that is trying to make sense out of the waiting times; it is just pointless. Consider that for reasons beyond explanation Vermont is not processing applications in order of which they were received at all. Every day that I hear of another application being approved that was submitted in October, November, December, even this same year... I want to be happy for people because they are obviously in similar situations, but instead I feel so angry because of the lack of transparency or seeming order of this whole process.

My NOA1 was dated September 21st 2010. I was only allowed to file a service request this past Thursday by Officer Batista even though previously I was told that I could file either sooner or later simply based on the day I called or the person I spoke to at their 800 number so do not believe what you hear!! I was also told by Officer Batista that it would be up to another 21 days before I can expect to hear even a simple reply on that inquiry. I got fed up and called my congressman yesterday to look into it as well and I plan to call my senators today.

Congrats to all of you who have already received your NOA2... the only thing that gives me any glimmer of hope at this point is seeing that there is some movement here no matter how slow or out of order... I only see about 1-2 approvals per day if that from Vermont on here... granted keep in mind that only a fraction of all applicants actually join visa journey.

I really feel sorry for filers who are waiting even longer than we are... Life is so hard and short as it is... I hope I do not die before I get to kiss my fiancee again. Sorry, I really try to be positive as much as possible, but this is definitely not one of my better days.
