April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

Shocking.

No approvals yet today? Well i contacted the local news. I sent him to this exact forum. I told them my story. Let's see if they are willing to tell my story on the air. And not just my story, our stories. I hope something will happen soon because i have just about given up

Same here... Well, I hope we'll be approved this week - however, I am so pessimistic about NVC, so far it took around a month for people to get the number. I'm exhausted and sick of their lies ("speed up the process" ha...).

Yes, you can change your address online on USCIS website. Register if you haven't yet and log in.

yes I have contacted my congresswoman, they did nothing for me. They just said that if I havent been approved by March, then I should call them and they can try to push them a little harder. She was surprised that cases were being approved in 3-4 months at CSC and reminded me that they used to take a year (trying to make me feel better, didnt work). I also wrote to USCIS ombudsman, put in a service request over a month ago, emailed TSC, called USCIS, so I have been quite proactive. Nothing has seemed to work so I stopped trying to be proactive and am now just waiting..waiting..and waiting some more.

7/2/10- NOA1

2/9/11- NOA2 (transferred to Texas)

NVC

2/28/11- case number received

3/2/11- Paid AOS bill
