It would be nice if the timelines took into account expedites and military priority, though it also seems like some of the late August/September petitions that are getting through quick are skewing th

The answer to both of your questions is the same. When you call the number and go through the automated process, after it reads you the useless status information it will give at least three options.

Okay, I just had a potentially optimistic thought, and I need to see what you all think. Is this a realistic assumption or have I been pressing "refresh" on the USCIS website for too long:

We all know CSC is practically at a standstill; nothing is being sent to NVC. BUT! NVC and our respective embassies seem to be still working on the many applications that were ahead of us. So since there are barely any new apps being added to those piles, they should be shrinking, right? That means that even as we wait, seemingly endlessly, at CSC, the line in front of us at NVC and the consulates is getting shorter...so maybe, just maybe, we'll get through those parts of the process *faster* than usual? Amiright?

I like the way you think!

And the journey begins!

At the very least, i hope NVC process doesn't take as much.

Been waiting for NOA2 since last Aug. 113 days so far. I see that some of you have been waiting for over 150 days...wow

Probably more good than bad. It at least shows some kind of action. However, it could be as simple as moving your file from one side of the room to the other.

What is a service request?

A formal request for them to look into your case. Call USCIS tomorrow and ask them what's going on and ask them to put in a service request if they give any answer but "we're approving you tomorrow" :)
