Yeah, definitely call as soon as they open, or right before they close. You can also e-mail and wait for their letter, but keep in mind they took 2 MONTHS to reply to my e-mail and send me a letter. We're well into the interview stage now, but thanks NVC... I guess. :rofl:

Wow, I was redialing when I would get a busy signal, but then I got that recording. I will just keep redialing. I imagine too because it is a Monday, following the long weekend, they must be especially busy.

Thanks for the info.... (and the guy laughing emoticon). :angry: Just kidding. You need to keep a sense of humor going through this. Redialing now. OH, I just got a busy signal... wonder if that is a step backward or forward.

Thanks again. I think I will be hearing this guy in my sleep tonight. :thumbs:

Now I am finally on hold. So I will just be hearing this "hold music" in my sleep tonight, instead of the guy's message...... but a small price to pay if they actually have my Case Number, which I doubt because it is only 2 weeks since NOA-2.

I wonder if CSC is doing anything today.. Some folks listed 7/3 as their NOA2 date on Igor's list, but that may just be their hardcopy... Nobody's gotten their NOA1 or RFE yet as far as I can see today.

Just wish CSC don't get like TSC of their process timeline, since all the cases been routed there to "accelerate" TSC cases process.. But it probably been delayed a bit since they didn't worked on friday!

LOL david!! did you get through?? if so, did they have your case number?

Now I am finally on hold. So I will just be hearing this "hold music" in my sleep tonight, instead of the guy's message...... but a small price to pay if they actually have my Case Number, which I doubt because it is only 2 weeks since NOA-2.

After 45 tries of calling and finally getting through its so heartbreaking when they say they haven't received it and to call back in 35 calendar days ?. I must learn to be more patient! Hopefully the wait will be just a bit longer. I don't know what I'd do without this website! Thank you all! ❤️
