It is very stressful. Most times if not all your life feels like its at a stand still waiting on the approval. I know what you mean because there were times in the waiting process all I did at my desk was constantly check the status online could barely get any work done. I wish you and everyone still pending NOA 2 the best of luck and that you all get responses very soon.

We all know the painful waiting time and feel bad when we have been forgotten and left behind. No RFE, no updates, always "initial review".

I see both CSC and TSC start working fast on Jan petitions, but leave some Nov and Dec filers untouched. CSC seems faster than TSC, but not everyone. I'm CSC Dec filer but still waiting for NOV2. Not sure what to do since it's only 68 days, just waiting.

When I read a lot and learned more stressful stories and experience, I really like this forum and feel better when I read those warm and supportive words. Thank you all!

Congrats on those who got approved and hope all pending NOA2 get good news this week!
