Hi, first post...

my timeline estimate is now between February 3, 2014 and February 18, 2014...

I guess it is wrong as it has been only 2 months that we recieved our NOA1...

How do you estimate the dates? are you using the same process as USCIS? ... Randomly ;-) "joke"

Seriously: Is there anything you can do to make it more accurate? obviously we will not get our NOA2 this month... our case is all normal, not expedited.

I just don't want to have my heartbeat racing again when I login and I don't think overloading the USCIS with phonecalls will help at all...They should put all their energy in the visa processing :-)

Or did I enter my timeline wrong?

Timeline estimation is based on input from other VJ users.

Regarding the section of your post in bold, USCIS doesn't process visas, they process petitions.
