I sent my I-129F petition to USCIS, and it went to the Vermont Service Center. I got my NOA1 on June 27th, but haven't received NOA2. I've been checking their processing times on the website, and they just recently updated their dates - the processing timeframe is listed as July 2nd! Did my application get lost / overlooked? Or is my NOA2 possibly en route? I signed up for electronic notification, and nothing so far. Any help / tips would be appreciated, I'm kind of freaking out ...

NOA2 is the long wait like 6 months.. really. So you should be getting your's anytime soon. Check other people timelines from date submitted on their NOA1 and you will see many don't have their NOA2 yet.

I understand that. I've been waiting more than 7 months now, though. And since the processing time-frame is listed as beyond the date on which I received my NOA1 (I received NOA1 on 6/27, and they're now looking at July 2nd), can I now go ahead and put in for a service request?

Compare first the NOA2 for your NOA1 dates on the timeline and see how many people have NOA2 dates already.

I would give them a call to do a service request! My NOA1 was June 6, 2012 and I call having a fit about being over the processing date. They put in a service request, and what do you know around 5PM the same day I got a message stating my case has been APPROVED!!!

My only advice is to just hang in there!!

As long as the USCIS (not visa journey) processing date that is listed is after your NOA1, you can put in a service request. You should ask to speak to a Tier 2 officer (the first person you speak to generally has no power to put in a service request). If you get a "no" the first time, keep trying. Some officers are more willing to do it than others.

BTW I just noticed, both of our fiances are from Japan... I wonder if there was a problem doing the initial check with those in Japan, hmmm.
