I hope my experience this morning can help some other people out there who feel they should have heard something by now.

We had a May 8th receipt date. I have called into the 800 number on numerous occasions and everyone said "just keep waiting." So this morning, I called and asked for a supervisor (is this the "Tier 2" I've heard about?)

The supervisor looked up our case and we learned we were actually approved back on November 5th but never heard anything about this.

I contacted the NVC after that and learned that the packet was actually sent to the embassy on November 20th!

So if anyone thinks things are lagging in Vermont, call and ask for a supervisor!

Same happened to us as well. Called last week to find something out from Vermont and asked to have a service request put in. Yesterday I received a letter from the national visa center stating the packet had been approved and sent to the US embassy. Called the USCIS and they said it was still in initial review!!! It doesn't make sense.
