Frustrated!

I have noticed everyone here seems to be getting the second NOA and I haven't. I called the calling center and they have been giving the same answer and asked me to call back in a month. What is going on? Could it be that i made a mistake on my application? If i did why would they keep it for so long? Someone give me a advice on what i should do to make this process faster and less stressful.

Thank you,

L&T

Some are faster than others, if you have an acknowledgment and a number don't get too stressed.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Lol- Wish you all the best! I know sometimes it feels like it is taking forever especially when everyone else is being approved. hehe. Well, I guess we can just wait and wait. ugh! It's horrible feeling.
