"Butterflipoison" is December 16 and still waiting for the NOA2.

"RobbyUSA" is still waiting also, though I am not certain what month he filed...could even be earlier than December.

Other than us, nobody else that is at least semi-active on VJ that I can see.

Yeah, you're right. I tend to sort on Vermont Service Center, and just looked through the last 4 or 5 pages in this thread.

For those statistics lovers in the crowd, (and want to be annoyed :bonk: ) I counted on Igor's List:

Dec. Filers = 134

NOA2 Received = 92

NOA2 Waiting = 42

Almost 69% of December filers received their NOA2, assuming everyone is still active and keeping their timeline accurate.

California Service Center = 69% Finished:

Dec. Filers = 109

NOA2 Received = 75

NOA2 Waiting = 34

Texas Service Center = 50% Finished:

Dec. Filers = 10

NOA2 Received = 5

NOA2 Waiting = 5

Vermont Service Center = 87% Finished:

Dec. Filers = 15

NOA2 Received = 13

NOA2 Waiting = 2 <<---- I am one of the 2 waiting! :crying:

Unfortunately I'll be the last of the Dec filers to be approved as USCIS forwarded mine to local office for an interview almost 2 months ago... and that interview STILL has not been scheduled. I wouldn't be surprised if mine took a freaking year to approve though i hope that's not the case.

If any of you pray, PLEASE pray for me!!!
