tim, you have nothing to be envious about. Look at the big picture, you dont have to deal with a communist country! chances are, you will probably finish the process before me. VN has a tendency to linger around, and has a high rate of FAILURE. Think positive, a lot of you guys are dealing with much friendlier environments.

I was touched on the 26th of April. I called USCIS today and the young lady I spoke to on the phone basically said that my application was still pending that that it may take upto six months!! :blink:

I tried that route of wanting to change address; but she was not able to help.

I'm hoping for approval BEFORE the six months she so casually mentioned!!

Another 6 months my ###!! Why don't they try waiting 6 months!

Ooh, that makes me angry :angry:

The "6 months" USCIS always mentions is just the standard reply. I'm still counting on what the Customer Service agent told me when I called about two weeks ago. He said there was a large increase on all visa apps the middle of January. This would add another two weeks to a month to the backlog.

The estimated timelines on VJ seem to be a good measure to go by. At least they were for us because our estimate was May 17th and we just received out NOA2 this morning! Also, to anyone who has not received any touches, we didn't receive any either so it is not necessarily a bad sign. Three months of silence and then GREAT GLORIOUS DAY! :no:

Congrats! :dance:
