NOA 2s are over due for December 2011 Filers

[ddnpinky 4]

Hi fellow VJ's,

I'm a January 12, 2012 filer and it has been 91 days since our NOA1 as of today. I have noticed from the VJ statics that the NOA 2s are over due for the December 2011 (11 filers) and (Us) the January 2012 (7 filers) should be getting our NOA 2s from now thru the next three weeks.

Here are the numbers trending down and the process should speed up and take less days:

24 September 2011 Filers, 21 NOA 2s recieved, 14 interviews, and 10 approved.

22 October 2011 Filers, 15 NOA 2s recieved, 10 interviews, and 1 approved.

17 November 2011 Filers, 12 NOA 2s recieved, 6 interviews, and 0 approved. 112 average days from NOA 1s.

11 December 2011 Filers, 1 NOA 2s recieved, 0 interviews, and 0 approved.

7 January 2012 Filers, 0 NOA 2s recieved, 0 interviews, and 0 approved.

Now, I do realize that these numbers do not account for filers that are not members of VJ and could be higher. However, I did see a comment on here that USCIS are working on the November Filers. There is only one December filer with their NOA2. It took them 111 days from there NOA1. The earliest a NOA 2 was recieved in November was 84 days and the latest recieved was 148 days with an average of 112 days. I did not county the one that was expited quickly in only 22 days and there was only one at 148 days. I wonder what is going on, have the USCIS employees gone on vacation or striking and they are short staffed. How about they noticed there are a lot less filers for December and January. they decided to take longer coffie and lunch breaks. These numbers do not make since. The process should speed up with less people filing. We are all ready to get this process finished. Let me know what you guys think?

Lets get it on!!!!! I'm ready now!!!! Would be nice if some one had some true insight on how it works in the office. Maybe they have our names on a dart board and they throw a dart a day... Maybe they figure us out by viewing us on this website, see we are impatient and laugh while me send e-mails..

You might be paying way too much attention to those stats, if you just like to keep up with that stuff - I'm not knocking you at all.

At 91 days since your NOA1, you still have a ways to travel. If you submitted a G-1145 with your petition, personally I would focus on

getting prepared for the next phase after you get that coveted email/text message about the NOA2. The days will really drag on if

you follow those stats so closely - especially if your petition heads into the 5-6 month abyss.

I have nothing to do with the Philippines and maybe you are only talking about Philippines-specific data, but if not I don't understand where you're getting these numbers from. If you look at the VJ approval data, VSC is just starting on the December petitions and CSC hasn't even gotten to them yet, so the idea that December petitions are "over due" doesn't make sense. Oh, and the VJ petitions are said to be only about 5% of the total, so relying on VJ data is misleading at best.

Holy Week slows everything done, but other than that - relax - you will make yourself crazy.

June 8th. Nanay needed to have surgery, so we decided to stay until she is feeling better. We have to be gone by the 16th or we get put back into the system, and there is no way I want to go through this again. How about you?

You are right, it is overdue and it is driving me crazy at the least. It is also driving my fiance crazy. Because we can not wait to live together and be happy

10th of May. We have a few more weeks of visiting with family and friends before heading to the airport. Amy is doing her CFO on Wednesday.

All the best with the surgery and a quick recovery for Nanay.

Thank you. We just need the sticker, so we will get to Manila a couple of days early. Have fun!

It's getting much more difficult to wait the closer it gets to the 5 month point. My fiancee has started having dreams about Hawaii so it should be soon though I really don't want to wait until the end of May, I want her here to celebrate my birthday, and to be able to start planning the wedding. Can't really do anything until she gets here and that is frustrating. People will need to make plane/hotel reservations and that can be difficult depending on how many tourists are going to be here.

AAAAUUUGGGHGHH come on CSC start picking up the pace!
