I think it was this thread, but I recall seeing a comment of someone developing some other tool that helped predict TSC NOA timelines. Was that here? Is there another thread for it? I think it was by patiently_waiting, but maybe I am mixing up her username with someone else's. I would like to share this information with a TSC March filer.

Thanks

I can't say I recall seeing one of those, sorry. I just couldn't help but look at your timeline, and the NOA1-NOA2 time. Man, if there was some way to have our case sent to CSC instead, I would rewind time without thinking twice.. Did it actually take your 14 days to receive the NOA2?

Well, 18 days actually. I used my mother's AZ address to get into the CSC as a last minute decision. I see it took a long time for you to get your NOA1! I hate that situation. I really do. That's why I was wanting to share the spreadsheet with the other TSC filer, just in case it could help them even a little. I managed to get it:

According to the spreadsheet, there were 41 approvals and 7 RFE responses that had been received yesterday. All of the approvals were October fillers, and the RFE responses were from september fillers. This is getting frustrating, why are they not working on the remaining of September? Happy for the october peeps but I kind of want to be done with this now. 250 days now

"...I gave it to..the intern."

"You did.. What? You gave my case to the intern?"
