It was great to see that your NOA1 was late November. If VSC manages to keep a decent number of adjudicators working on K1s (really hope that they do), I would expect adjudications to really start rolling in quickly for December and January. There should be substantially fewer petitions submitted during these winter months particularly with the holidays.

Nice, Congrats, Happy to see someone getting to move on with their life. As I sit here on Day 189 waiting for my noa2, looking back at the dozens of phone calls I have sent, emails I have sent, congress people I've contacted, I just can't help but wonder why some people get approved quick and some dont. In fact I was told by 1 or 2 "officers" that anyone who says they get noa2 in less than 5 months must be telling a lie. They say I shouldn't believe anything anyone puts on the web. Personally, I believe you folks. I did get a reply from VSC saying my case with an adjudicator... whatever that means. Talk about lack of information. I have heard, "your case is still pending, keep waiting" about 9000 times. They refuse to give any further information. But hey congrats to those who got theirs in 90 days.

There are a few on here that seem to be lagging behind with their approvals, I sometimes wonder if it has to do with the background check they do before get serious and approving the petition.
