February filers getting excited...???

[M_&_R 77]

My NOA 1 date is March 1 - I noticed the slowdown as well.

[KC&CD 1]

152 days since NOA1 but we can still wait (as if there's any other choice)..

I'm Feb as well but this slow down happened at the same time last year and picked up July and really picked up in August. Soon everyone..

I'm getting excited after seeing the NOA2s streaming in... but I haven't seen much coming through VSC, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much yet.

[Linds&Youssef 56]

We're NOA1 on Jan. 31, and I'm losing my mind wondering where my NOA2 is...

[M_&_R 77]

I check my own timeline for the projected NOA2 date and it keeps getting later. I'm sure it's a calculation based on all our user info. Mine used to say the 3rd week in July, then the 4th, now the outside date is August 1. This bites.

I just saw the january filers thread, they are STILL waiting for there NOA2's and they also are at Vermont =( could this mean that they are really really really backed up over there??? Most of them out of frustration called and the rep said they are still processing Jan 15th apps.

this is sad! :crying:

You've been waiting less than four months .. if you receive it in 5, consider yourself lucky.

I'm aware of the goal and the number of January filings outstanding. My comment is that progress has slowed down and you can see that by the fact that the projected dates on the timelines keep getting pushed back. That's based on actual user data, not some rep on the phone who may or may not be accurate.

I didn't ask to be put ahead of anyone, nor complain that I'd been waiting too long.

But since I can't afford to go see my fiance and haven't seen him in over a year, "this sucks" is actually a pretty mild reaction to a slowdown in the processing times. It does suck. For everybody.

I apologize - I wasn't attempting to imply you were overreacting about anything.

Thanks - I thought from the smile that you weren't, but I wanted to be clear I wasn't a whiner.

I think it's much better to check the timeline stats on here than to rely on what any one person at VSC says. Looking at the timeline page I can see how many people there are ahead of me - and I can see that many fewer NOA2s are being posted the past couple weeks than were being posted previously. I keep checking, hoping to see the pace pick up again. There are confounding factors (maybe users don't update, or a certain filing date is underrepresented), but on the whole I think you can get a really good idea of your window by looking at the user timeline stats on here.

Yes, it is exciting and encouraging. I noticed a few NOA2 notifications when I was browsing yesterday. And I really like it when they are from the VSC. Good luck to all! Who will be next?

Finally after months of nothing, we got text/email of NOA2 approval. Good luck everyone who is waiting, your time will come.

Congratulations - glad to see they are moving people through.
