All the best to you all of you October filers. Hope that your visa journey is a speedy one. I completely empathise with how it feels to be waiting, waiting, waiting for that piece of paper but please be sure to have a look at the message boards and wiki guides on VJ, to read up on the next stage of the process while you're waiting. Look forward to hearing how all of your cases are progressing.

Another October I-130 filer. Sent Oct 14th, rec'd Oct 18, rec'd NOA on the 20th via txt.

I would love to hope for a NOA2 sooner rather than later, but I have a bad, bad feeling that it will be a long wait. Sigh.
