Thank you for this thread! While its lovely to see all CSC people getting approved, its a bit annoying to know we'll be waiting for our NOA2 around April-May unless some miracle happens! -1 month dow

I'm glad you said this out loud lol It makes me sad seeing the CSC approvals when I know ours will take forever but I love the November board

I've heard this rumor as well, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I'm only going to assume that things will speed up in January only because the holidays are over and most federal employees will

They're still processing August petitions, but there's 2-3 September filers that got approved recently so they haven't reached October yet

I hope they start september soon properly one step closer! then lets hope for a transfer and pow its us! :idea:

hope everyone is well and not going too crazy with this wait!

i swear this application has made me go through all my stuff about 1000x tryna to be ready for as soon as its go time!

bored of the wait doesn't cover it anymore lets hope its all our turns soon!!


also has anyone looked into how they are gonna take their items over?

so far I'm just thinking of paying extra baggage, but I'm not sure if anyones come across anything better?

Yeah, they have slowed again...averages are closing in on 210d...incredible.

I was beginning to hope for a June approval, but I am back to July/August.

It drives me crazy when I can't see any updates lol or just 1 or 2 person only updating their timeline grrrr!! The waiting is making me insane because I just want him here already! Jeez

Lol I think the extra bag luggage is the way to go unless you're gonna leave things behind

Yeah, they have slowed again...averages are closing in on 210d...incredible.

I was beginning to hope for a June approval, but I am back to July/August.

It's so sad that we have to sit around & wait 6-7 months for an approval :( we'll get through it though
