I think all of our nervous energy has been put in the "I miss you" bucket. But it is bittersweet.

We waited longer before, what is the last several months to finish? Glad to see all of the progress here. For those that aren't as far along as averages say, just remember that who gets your case at USCIS makes some difference, and it is my understanding that there is chance involved.

I get the sense too that some reviewers are quicker than others...especially as I start to see some cases filed after mine getting approved or at least RFE'd. Hopefully that means we'll hear something any day now...and I know we should be appreciative that most of us won't have to wait nearly as long as filers last year and years before. The anticipation is stressful though, especially now that we're in the window where others around us are getting their NOA2's!

I found out about the Case Tracker app through this forum...I am wondering if there's any way of isolating just the I-129F filings?

I feel so lucky that I live with my fiance while we wait together. It took us 2 years to finally meet and when I got here, I decided I didnt want to be without him while we wait (especially since his mom was in the hospital with cancer all this time). I am really missing my family lately though, and my animals. I had never been away from home for longer than a week and now Ive been gone for almost 5 months. My NOA1 is March 2nd but im always looking at Feb. Filers because I was always following this group from the beginning of February while getting my I-129f package together. Im so happy most of you are getting your NOA2s and hopefully it will be March filers turn as well soon :)

Cool, when are you planning to get in touch with NVC? Do you also know if there's a long wait for the medical?
