I have to agree even though my fiancée and I waited exactly 5 months for our NOA2.

Most filipina beneficiaries were lucky,(by no way I am trying to say those who were directly or indirectly affected by the typhoon were lucky) while some like us had to wait.

Good luck to all, expedite or no expedite we we all get to the finish line, sooner or later.

Glad they didn't cancel my membership. We were not expedited by any means. However, with the use of a special computer program we were "finally" able to get an appointment for an interview. Yay!!! The program ran and one slot came open Thursday night and I jumped on it as soon as my computer program notified me.

Use Mozilla for your browser. Download a free add-on app called "Check-for-Change". Log into the account you set up with the state department. Click Select all on your Dashboard page (not the page where you check for an appointment but the main dashboard page). Right Click and click on "check for change"; set it up for custom settings; have it refresh the page every 4 seconds. When an appointment is available, your computer will chime.
