My thought is you should check your Internet connection. I've never seen a quadruple post before. ;)

I don't know what to expect, for myself or anyone else. Patience is your best friend, even though it feels like sometimes that friend of yours try to run away. Right now I am waiting for my IV package to be delivered to the NVC. This is my first full week of not working anymore (Wednesday last week was my last day on the job) so while I am relishing that freedom (by doing nothing, ha ha). I hope everything goes fast from here. I just want my visa so I can move on with my life, together with my wife whom I love so much. I feel like right now I'm stuck in limbo. Saturday June 30 is our first wedding anniversary, and at best we'll get to celebrate it on Skype... As much as I love Skype and as much gratitude I owe to the developers. I want to be with my wife.

Well, from what I have seen in the posts, it could, but it seems to vary as much as the NOA2 times. The good news is you have SOME control over it as far as responding to the packages sent to you. How quickly they process though...that's another matter. You might get the interview in just under 3 months if you are lucky.

Hello!!! ECHO>>>>>>

This cant be the only people that filed in December 2011? What was it the holidays?

Just wanted to join a group and see how people have aged since first filing...

Any NOA2 yet?????

Filed on the 2nd of Dec and NOA1 on the 6th...and have been educating myself on VJ since

Hope all is well for everyone

I filled my I-130 on December 2nd also and got my NOA2 on June 4th the bad wait is for them to send the NOA2 to the NVC who then takes 10 to 20 business day to provide you with a case and IIN number

Better inform your spouse sooner than later :) I already told my wife to set the bars low for an expectation from CSC to get file processed quickly.

I see that most of you already have a case complete. I filled on December 2 2011 and i am still waiting on a case number from the NVC. Did i do something wrong?

The delay is on CSC side to forward your case to NVC. They are taking close to 1 month to forward your case and then NVC takes another 1 to 2 weeks to enter your file data in their system and assign a case number. VSC is taking less than 2 weeks to forward the case to NVC.

hey guys can anybody say me "from where i have to send iv packet..from beneficiary address or choice of agent address? beneficiary can directly send it to the nvc from their home country.?? pls reply

Correct me if I am wrong, but there is nothing in the IV package that has to be signed by the petitioner, so yes, it would make more sense to me for the beneficiary to send in the IV package, directly from his or her home country.
