I've been waiting for my NOA1 for a while now. I called my father back in the States this weekend and he goes something like, "Oh yeah, you got something in the mail from the government about a week and a half ago." Arghhh!!! I would think something like that he would have emailed me about since he knows we are going through the visa process.

I guess they don't send them overseas and sent it to my permanent address. Good thing my father is still there every other week or I might have ended up waiting for the NOA2 for a long time in the future.

Hey all.

I filed my I-129F petition at the Vermont Service Center January 2007. I got NOA 1 saying they recieved it January 17, 2007 and received NOA 2 stating approval January 25, 2007. I just got the letter from NVC saying they received the petition from VSC and will be sending to Manila Embassy within the next week. I was really surprised it was approved so fast. Good luck to all of you.

:dance:

Though I am happy for all, at every successful stage of their journey. Vermont filers seem to show-of :P and rub it in our faces, :dance: that they receive NOA2's in 14 :hehe: days while we wait 90 :angry: . Once again, I am happy for all.

However all Vermont filers just keep the comments and excitement in regards to approvals more low key if possible ( come on we are all rational adults; 14 days does not compare to 90, and seriously how excited, anxious and nervous can a person really get knowing approval will come so quickly). B) It's not cute to show-off. :thumbs::thumbs:

Hey, maybe you lucky Vermont people should open your own forum, you guys can show-off :devil: and brag :dance: about who receives the quickest approval. Mybe even takiing wages on ( who will and when will the 3 day NOA2 occur ) :P

Congrats on the Approval!!!

Sorry about the timeline differences between CSC and VSC - it sucks and I can't imagine knowing I'd have a min 3-month wait. However, VSC is not necessarily guaranteed either. I know of two folks on VJ that had their files go missing and waiting for weeks/months. Not to mention depending on which embassy you're going to the wait could be even worse than with the processing centers. Amman, for me best case we'll get an interview 9 months out from receipt in Amman:(

I got a touch saturday, but i think it was just tech updating servers or something - no touches so far for today.

Of course I'll be checking all day tomorrow. I embarrased to say just how many times I logged in the check today :blush: I know I've got some nerve, but it doesn't hurt to look right?

Im a fellow January filer, and i think that everyone should be able to show there excitement no matter what service center they use, don't be salty just because yours is taking longer than others. My packet went to California as well, waiting is just apart of the process, and some will wait longer than others. noone is bragging, they are just happy and excited, as you will be too when you get your NOA2. Please give everyone the same curtesy and respect that you would want, when your day comes
