You know you should watch out your tone, i am not mean but you sound extremely rude. We all are well aware that it take approx 5 months and maybe more than that but we all are here to support each oth

There seem to be a lot of people here who see the view the more recent filers who have gotten approved before the 5 month timeframe as the "enemy". I'm sure there isn't a single Sept/Oct filer that is

It is funny these false know it alls. If they are soo backlogged why is September members getting approvals left and right. There is no rhyme or reason to what USCIS does and to say they go in order is a bunch of speculation as well considering there are many aug and july filers who have not gotten there noa2 but September filers have. Just chillax wait till it happens. Don't bash someone and their dreams just cause you are sour in the process. It is different for every case some get touches without being transferred even before 4 months. So get none at all and an approval. Let a person keep hope and I hope it does happen cause that is one less in front/behind me. :) Just cause you think something doesn't make it right nor should you try to push your belief system on someone else or make judgement cause they may or may not be like you.

We all know it takes 5 months maybe longer ...We just all like to live in our fantasy where time is quicker and we will be with our loved ones in happy ever after land... :rofl: so please nay sayers who keep thinking they have to give us the reality of a long wait please dont'.. :bonk:

I wish everyone a speedy approval:P

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst! Of course everyone knows here that they say "5 months," and that it takes longer for some...but optimism and a positive attitude will make the waiting process a lot less miserable. So I agree with you--keep hope!

For what it's worth, I got my NOA2 completely unexpectedly after almost exactly 3 months. Unfortunately, it was because a whole lot of other people got screwed by being transferred to TSC :-/ (sorry guys...). But it does happen!

Good luck to you all!

Well said. I was avoiding even commenting on the subject because I was really annoyed when I first read that person's nonsense and I didn't want to end up saying anything mean.

I wish some of these bitter people wouldn't come and try to rain on anyone else's parade. I don't see anything wrong with keeping a positive attitude.

Cheers to keeping the hope alive! I wish that we will all get speedy approvals, and if we don't, I pray that none of us ever become that bitter, negative and annoying.

why don't you send that in email, which is much faster

If you still want to fill that form then type "NA" instead of N/A

goodluck :dance:

We really have! I don't know what I did in a past life to deserve this karma, but I'll take it! I'm just terrified it's going to run out...gotta keep that optimism though! I'm staying positive that the rest will go super-smoothly!
