APRIL Filers!!

[Sheryl&Robert 0]

Get out the Ol' #2 and get to work.

I think that would be too much modernization for them...maybe stone and chizzle would be much more their speed, but i don't care as long they work on the cases and not use the computers as an excuse to prolong our anxiety filled wait.

Hey Rambaldi - I updated my dates a little on my signature today...don't know if it matters since you went through TX? Hope you get your NOA2 soon. You and I are one of the few going thru Spore. Looks like I (& QQ) will be blazing that trail for you. So we'll have to keep in touch as we go through Spore.

Aww Tom I dunno either, it's hard to predict or even imagine what they're up to, or doing..... Oh, I see it now, so you actually got your NOA1 on the 5th instead of the 9th. Would you help us all out and edit that in your timeline too pls!! Thanks for your kind words, CSC was really dead this week!!

My friend went through the S'pore consulate too last year, and she said it was pretty fast. So I bet you should be hearing from them pretty soon. Good luck! And yeah, keep checking in, let me know how the rest of your journey goes!

Deron, you are right! I've never noticed it before, but those April filers who already have NOA2s sent in their apps in March! But they got their NOA1s in April, so technically they're still considered April filers right?

I am one of those,I actually call myself an April filer. But there is knowbody or hardly anybody of the April filers waiting at NVC...

I think i'm still waiting for my petition to get sent to NVC, and i'm not a nobody!

Frankly, I'm not even worried about it at this point. I'm in the home stretch leading up to the bar exam, a little less than two weeks to go and I'm freaking out about that. I don't have time to worry about NVC at this point! Of course, it will be another story after the 25th, and if we haven't heard anything about petition by then, I'm calling NVC every hour on the hour.

Hey QUINN...you and I both got NOA2 on same day (6/27)...I called NVC today and they got our petition 7/12 and gave me a case number. One more step behind us.

For all the Aprils waiting for NOA2...really sorry not to see more get approved..stay strong & best wishes.

Oh really?? That's great news!! Hopefully my petition was in the same box!! Right now, I'm just going to wait until either my Fiance gets package 3 or I finish the exam, which ever comes first. In the back of my mind tho, your petition being sent to NVC means mine was too! thanks for the update, i really appreciate it!

We mailed our petition on March 28. Received NOA1 on April 09. No touches, no RFE.

Would it do any good at all for me to call the Customer Service center about my case? Or will they just tell me it's 'pending' and send me on my way?

At the least- if they sent a RFE we would have gotten it long before now, right? Right?!

Yeah they will just tell you it's pending and that they are still only working on cases dated from December. Which is not entirely true, HAHA I still do it though haha

We also have the same NOA1 date as you and Eka & Pyrrhic.

I updated our timeline. I wasn't sure initially which date I should put in there. Good to hear the S'pore consulate gets them through relatively quickly. My fiance is actually from China but has been living/working in Singapore for 6 years. Best wishes.

I never called, never a touch, or RFE (thankfully). Not sure if calling does anything to speed it up? Hang in there, I would think the approvals are coming soon for the rest of April filers. It probably slows down this time of year because more people are on vacation (unfortunately). It's the government, the others are not putting in overtime to makeup for it.

I have really come to despise SPAM that is titled with some variation of "Your Approval".
