We should have a competition - January filers vs. December filers - to see who can get the majority approved first. I know the January filers seem like underdogs in the situation, but you know, you never know! :) We can even have t-shirts and those little foam hand waving things to cheer on our team.

Anyway, good luck to people who filed in December. Is it my imagination or are those curves for processing times starting to drop at the beginning of the year? (hopefully that is what's happening)

-Tim

(If the majority of filers in January sent to Vermont, actually, it could very well be possible for the January filers to win! I doubt that's likely though)

Maybe you should check with your bank if the check you issued has been endorsed. If so, your receipt number is written at the back of the check and you can use it in checking the status of your case at USCIS website... Good luck on your journey! Good luck to all of us!

Last time I checked, I saw a person who had an NOA1 date of 11/14 get approved for NOA2. Hope that means they are almost to December. :thumbs:

THAT sounds pretty good to me though....i quit my job for the end of april, but if i would have my visa before that time, i will be happy as a mofo...lol....excuse my language :D

I already send every week a box of my stuff to my fiance, so it will not be too much at a time PLUS it is a nice feeling for me to see. that my appartment is getting empty and i am actually moving and it is a great feeling for my fiance to unpack my stuff and make me feel home, as soon as i get there :):wub:
