Ok, I am a little bit confused. mailed my petition on the 13th (Dec), NOA1 on the 20th... then i started looking for info on how long for the next milestone. As far as i know i am at the TSC. If you look at the reported processing times everything says exactly 5 months. However, am i right in thinking that the words on my timeline here on VJ are more likely to hold true? It says something like one month! that is obviously drastically different, cutting out 4 months of time from the "5 month" reported wait time that i see on the USCIS website.

Am i reading this right? Please excuse my ignorance!

The VJ timeline is an estimate based on the processing times that members before you reported. This is only going to be a small percentage of the total number of applicants that go through USCIS. You'll also see the estimated processing dates on your timeline fluctuate (mine went from 5 months to 3 months in the span of two weeks) depending on the data others report. In the month that I filed, some people were approved in 2 months, and there are a couple who are still waiting for their NOA2 (over 5 months now). So, it can vary, and widely.

In my opinion the VJ estimate is a good indicator, but it's always good to moderate your expectations (i.e. just factor in that it could and very well may take the full 5 months or longer).

Best of luck!

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

Set your mind to 5 months and do not base your expectations with how quick others petitions get approved. Good luck and I hope you hear great news soon. Happy holidays!
