My received date is May 12, 2011 and I am still waiting for NOA2. I called to put in a service request for VSC and the USCIS call center told me they are behind schedule, running at more like 7 months than 5. She pointed me to the USCIS website, which I now see has been changed over the past few days. Instead of now saying "5 months" it says they are processing applications from "March 15, 2011." So, I am losing hope on getting my NOA2 any time soon.

Wow this is not very comforting to know :'( buttt on a little brighter not it was late updated Aug 31

Source: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do

they are so unpredictable thou!!! People are getting NOA2!....so why this crazy "processing time frame"

BIG SIGH! I hope they hired a load of people to execute this a bit faster.... I'm going to cry literally if I dont get my NOA2 within the next 2 weeks tops... lets all cross our fingers n toes and pray this is a wacky update of the processing time frame. POSITIVE THOUGHTS! *breath in* LETS GO VERMONT!...AND CALI! and ALL the Centers!

I think it depends on the adjudicator that is working on your petition or other similar factors, if there was something bad about your petition most probably that u had got an RFE already, when we sent the petition I was preparing myself for a loooong wait 5 - 7 months, but im so grateful we got approved after 93 days, just think we have to prepare ourselves for a long wait, so that when it comes faster its like GREAT!!! :) hope your petition gets approved soon though, I`m sure we will see u on the top of Igor List very soon :):star:

We sent our K1 on 6/8/11 and got NOA2 on September 30th (109 days) I thank God now that we got ours approved before VSC slowed down and is now processing at 7 months! That really sux! We are still waiting for NVC to process. It's been 19 days and the automated system keeps saying they don't have any record of our case. Grrrrrr. I finally decided to speak with someone @ NVC and she said it was received in their system 10/17 and "they don't hold onto them very long" and possibly by the end of this week we should get our case number. Fingers crossed -- as I plan on attending the interview with him and we're really hoping for a Christmastime homecoming with a tentative wedding date of 12/23/11!!

Best of luck to everyone on their continued journies! The wait is terrible!

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T
