Well it looks as if things may be speeding up at USCIS. @danik713 was less than four months, @reymets10 is showing around 3.5 months, and ours is showing about 3.5 months. This is encouraging, but as others have said, it is only an estimate and any little hiccup in the government can bring it to a crawl again. In analyzing timelines from last year, I found that this time of the year produced pretty quick results with a lot of them showing 2-3 months between NOA1 and NOA2. This slowed down at the end of the year to the 5 month barrier. As @gretchen_darren pointed out, the congressional budget has been a major pain in the backside. This will obviously have an effect on a government ran program . Good news is that hopefully all of us will be through this before the 2012 election year. I haven't been able to find any records of the number of historical submissions that may vary with the season. My inner geek is coming out and I would love to spreadsheet and graph this. Haha, like I'm not busy enough.

Peace,

Brian

That is a good question. My understanding is that the time to schedule an interview is embassy specific. You may find that on your country's portal. However, once the interview is scheduled, you "should" find out the same day whether you were approved. I have known others who were "approved" but still had to get some further documentation in order to actually receive the visa. I hope that helps. Good luck on your interview!!!

I, too, was eagerly watching my timeline move forward - averaging 1 day down per day - until 2 days ago where it's either been static or went up a day Is it because VSC has slowed down or have I just reached the magic point where it's now becoming more accurate?

Sounds like the magic point. I noticed ours stall a bit over the last few days, but now it is on the move again. Yikes, super excited, but I have a lot to get done!!! Haha, good problem to have .
