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.

Oh yes, full time job here keeping up with all the posts about approvals and transfers laughing.gif

It's a good evening, and one we've all been waiting for - for a long time. Congratulations to all those who have received good news, and a word of encouragement to those who have received confusing messages. Now that we FINALLY have their attention, I am hopeful that they will correct the information in those letters. Nevertheless, we have all learned the hard way at TSC that hope wihtout evidence is empty hope, and it may be worth it to follow up with whatever advocates (congressmen, lawyers, ombudsman, etc.) you can so that you don't end up in another TSC morass.

I wish you all strength, peace and good news tonight and in the coming days.

I also want to thank Saylin for the database - you've done a great job and it brings peace of mind to see how our cohort is faring -- (even when our own situation is disappointing). Thanks.

Thanks to my VJ family, I was able to remain relatively sane throughout this process. As most of you know, I received my NOA2 back on 11/23. Now 77 days later that danged blue button has finally moved to the right. I will wait and call NVC on Monday to see if they have assigned a case number. Tes and I pray for all of you, and have faith that we will all soon be re-united with our families - the way God intended for it to be.

:rofl: This made me laugh.

You seem to be attributing something to the post that was not there. No one else seemed to see the post as venting anger and hoping that others lose their papers as well, only you. I read frustrating that was specific to the poster's own situation coming through, and that is how others seem to have seen it as well. Regardless, you went on in later posts to challenge whether she was even telling the truth.

Your comments were found inappropriate and reported by more than one person, so perhaps you may wish to re-examine your own initial responses to a post and determine if you are reading the situation correctly yourself.
