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

I think all of our patience is being tested at this point. I'm curious to know if any of the November filers that have not yet received their NOA2 opened a case request? Is it advisable? My (unfounded) hesitation (yet overly cautious self) is a concern that the opening a case request might ruffle some feathers that would just delay my application. If the advise is to wait, how much longer? Any input is appreciated.
