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

congratulations everyone on getting the approvals.

Happy for all of you, but also growing more and more frustrated (if that is even possible). :crying:

We're waiting since November 10! Any other early November fillers out there that are still waiting? Or are we skipped?

I am so with you on this... I have a NOA1 date of Nov 12, and while I am happy to see so many get Approved, it depresses me that I havent received my NOA 2... so bitter sweet... i try to be happy for everyone, and just continue to hope that my Approval comes soon...

It's the same 800 number on the USCIS website. I tried calling asking to speak to a tier 2 (waiting since the 13th),but the person was not willing to transfer or even open a case. I even went online to open a case inquiry myself, but was stopped by the system because my date is within their time-frame. :(

Okay, yes, I also tried to submit a case online, and it told me that it could not be submitted, because I was within the posted processing time. When I call the 800 USCIS number, I am not ever able to get through to a live person to be able to ask for a Tier 2 person... I was hoping there was another number out there... Thanks for your response! I am hoping any day now... any day...
