I'm getting very frustrated. Elise and I seem to be left behind. We received our NOA on the 16th (it was dated the 13th). Our last touch was February 21st and still no NOA2. And this is via VT! At least I was lucky enough to visit her (I just got back).

If I don't hear anything soon I may reach out to my congressman (though I don't want to "cry wolf" too quickly).

Congrats to all who already received their NOA2s.

I'd be happy if the petition has been looked at. I'd understand if there was an RFE. But it's the lack of any action that is getting to me. From what I can there are over 5 petitions sent after (some well after) Elise and mine that have been processed in a more timely fashion.

And - I'd be a lot more patient if Elise and I weren't expecting (unexpectedly, but happily) a child. We'd like to be together during this time and we'd like consistency in her pre-natal care.

Thanks for the positive vibes - and the compassionate ears!

You sound exactly like me, Brian...I was about to have a breakdown because many, many people who filed after me were approved before me. Just when I was about to try to get a prescription of Xanax, I got my approval email.

I also didn't want to cry wolf and pull the congressperson card, especially because it might be needed down the line.

I filed a few days before you, and my last touch was the 21st as well, and then I was touched again and it was the approval.

Sit tight for a while longer, do something you love to take your mind of of it, and it'll come.

I hear you, I was frantic for that same reason. I had no touches, nothing. The site didn't change until I got the approval.

The dates on the VJ timelines for "your petition may be adjudicated as early as" DO change based on others' approvals. Check yours again, Brian, it's at March 11 now. As I said earlier, I also had a freakout just about the same time you did, and my petition was approved 2 days after the possible date on the timeline.

Good luck!

You can call them : 1 - 603 - 334 -0700 , press 1 then 5 .

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
