I got my NOA1 on October 23, 2006. Checked my email today and saw an NOA2 for November 1, 2006. Vermont SC took 8 days to process my case. I am amazed.

Don't hate me. I'm not bragging, but just getting some hope out there to those who at least may be sending to VSC. They are on top of their game there.

I add that I feel as if I assembled my packet pretty well and included the extra information like the birth certificate of the beneficiary (and translation), name change documentation, and my passport AND BC (scanned color copies). I leaned to the "extra information" side of the debate within the forum of whether less is more. I sent them everything that I could get a hold of. My fiance's mother was very helpful in retrieving extra docuements for me from her local govt. office, so I was lucky in a sense. I also organized it with color-coded paper clips and color coded tabs at the bottom of the pages. Maybe my quick approval had nothing to do with this and I was just lucky! Regardless, still have the second part to deal with, so the "journey" is not over.

Thanks to all for your input up to this point.
