I know, I was surprised we even got a notification that it was being shipped. I was a little overeager and tried calling last week. Only took 3 calls to gt through and 20 minutes on hold for the lady to tell me that they didn't have it and it could take up to 35 days for them to receive it.

First of all Congratulation to those who received their NOA2 :)

Can some one please explain me what is e-request & why we can only fill out after 5 months?

What does it do?

My PD is June 2nd at Nebraska Service Center.

Does anyone know what date there r working on right now?

Are they really a week behind?

I called about 3 weeks ago & they said I have time till Nov 2nd b/c that is my 5 months & I should receive it by that time.

Is there anything I can do at this stage to find out how long it will take them to reply me?

Please any help will be great. Thanks & Congrates for NOA 2 to all :)
