I sent in my forms and got the notice that they had been recieved. My date is November 28th on the recipt. So far that is all i have recieved from the California center, only the initial letter with the recipt number and and saying they got it. Should i have gotten something else yet??? I was wondering because i saw that on peoples timelines it seemed like they had recieved packets and things. Maybe it hasnt been long enpugh. im new at this, but i want to make sure im doing it right. :blush:

thanks.

Nope, nothing to receive until the NOA2 approval comes (unless there is a RFE before that). My NOA2 came 88 days from the date I mailed the petition. You are getting close! (F)

Ironically, no news is good news. Seems like peeps with no touches and RFEs get approved quite methodically. The waiting is hard. But, the VJ timelines are accurate. My timeline was off by one week. I called the USCIS Customer Service Center to tell them that a VJer had been approved that applied one week after me. Low and behold, the next day I received NOA2. I'm not saying that calling is effective, but that's how my case turned out.

I agree! :thumbs: Others wanted to be touched because they thought it would mean CSC is really working on their cases. Most of the VJers didn't get touches till the day they got the approval.

Don't worry too much for it will just ruin your day. I felt that too but it didnt help. Just be patient and be optimistic that you will have NOA2 in months. This will be a long waitin for you.

WELCOME TO VJ. YOU WILL SURELY LEARN A LOT FROM HERE. KEEP US POSTED. BEST OF LUCK.

Hey can I have some popcorn? I'm running out of it :luv:

Kaitlyn, it's ok to be a worrywart and we can fully understand how you feel because we're going through the same thing with this whole process. But as long as you're within your timeframe, just relax and have some popcorn from ready4ONE.
