I've had a couple of people message me so I thought I'd make a thread.

Our petition at Vermont has just been approved - in 3 months, 1 week 6 days!

I'm in disbelief, I think I've only just stopped shaking. I honestly didn't expect to hear anything for another 2 months at the earliest.

While we did send letters to our Congressman and Senators, we only did it on Friday. And according to the USPS tracking, they arrived Saturday. We haven't heard back from any of them yet, so I don't know if that affected anything or if we were just lucky.

My Fiance and I are over the moon, but I can't help feel bad for all those who have been waiting much longer than us. This system is so unfair. All I can suggest is that you contact Congressman and Senators, even if you are within processing time.

Thanks! We didn't bribe anyone, and we only wrote to the Congressman to make them aware of the situation at Vermont. As I've said before it was a very basic letter really. We didn't really mention ou

OMG! Congratulations! Happy for you guys, I've seen you on the Feb filers and I thought we had some in common... our NOA1 date is close to yours (and my fiancé is from TX, 2 hours from Houston). I thought we would get the NOA2 about the same time... but this is going crazy... lucky you! Good luck with the interview! ;)
