Hello everyone!

Our NOA 1 is March 1st, so we're past the 5 months waiting period, so decided to call Vermont last monday.

After going through telephone-hell, being disconnected twice, hung up on once and 3 different people.. we finally were able to speak to a friendly man.

After asking what's going on, if we could get an update etc, he wanted to know when they received our case, since that seemed more important than our NOA 1 date. So told him that was Feb 27th.

On which he replied "Aha, we are working on that batch right now! You'll get news this week!

Is this really weird coincidence that this very moment they are working on it or did he just lie to us to get it over with?

I'd like to know what your opinions are about this, because I don't know? huh.png

Thank you!

I hope so, but it's already Friday and they don't work in the weekends. So unless something happens today, I'm afraid it was a lie.. sad.png

I'm going to call them back on Monday to see what's up then. Heh.

i say a lie, as it's impossible to get Vermont Service Center on the Phone.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Well, didn't hear anything and since they don't work on weekends...
Guess we'll call again monday.
So tired of this. cray5ol.gif

& Just called 1-800-375-5283, I suppose that is just USCIS, might not be specifically be Vermont. But that was to make it clear where my case was.

My fiance called USCIS and spoke to a Tier 2 rep who gave similar info

"March petitions will start being approved in the next 5 days." Because they haven't been approved in majority yet?

Well yea, that's what I'm thinking too.

I've seen so many people on here approved already that filled waaaay after you and me.
Sure, I am happy for them, but I can't help but feel a bit envious too..

I guess it's only logical that we all want to be with our loved ones.

Best of luck to you too!

Ah - you called the USCIS call center, then.

I respectfully shift my answer - claiming now it's a happy coincidence.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !

I really hope they are working on it. I filed toward the end of march and really hoping to get it soon.
