Thank you so much for that information! I did not realize that!

No problem!
There's so many people here, having their NOA2 in hands, and the case online still says "received".
It was working on the 21st as it seems, there it updated approvals, but since then... nothing.

My fiance and I had that with NOA1 already. No notification until the letter came. 

Since you're around my received date: Fingers are crossed for us!

You can tell there aren't many left... since it became pretty quiet here.

Lol, do you really think so? Because you March filers are like the chattiest people around here. Always so much to read with you 😊 (Good thing I love reading).

 

I still feel there's a lot of you waiting for news, and I refuse to believe that's because you are being left behind... Therefore they are still working in March slowly but steadily. 

Obviously I'm hoping for all of you to get the infamous NOA2 ASAP... But that's because I am a selfish piece of s### starting to get anxious to have mine in hand 😮😲😳

 

Hoping for more good news today and tomorrow. Enjoy your weekend!

Today is 113 days since NOA1 date received (March 2nd) for us and still no NOA2 or RFE notifications. I'm starting to get concerned about what's going on.

Yeah! Just like us! We had nothing in hands until the hardcopy arrived in the mail like AGES later.

We have receive date March 17th, and they've already touched this date. So... hope dies last!
I keep my fingers crossed for us!

Well, if they have touched March 17,  I haven't received any  yet because my Received date is March 15 and noticed date March 22. Hopeful I get something by next week

Yeah, you might be right. Maybe it's because Gary is missing out a lot!!! @GazLisa!!!! Don't you care about your whineyfriendfellows anymore? #DramaDrama haha

I hope so much NOA2 is in Scotts mailbox right now, and he finds it after work, when I get up. But I rather think it might come next week.

This stupid case tracker app.... I know it's useless, but I keep refreshing it like some tard... and every time it takes a second to much to refresh my heart skips a beat lol 
I guess if that blue bar will change to green one day... I'll just pass out lol 

Oh, and I'm gonna stick on you selfish piece of badword's badword until you have your stuff too! AND we have a coffee appointment in SLC

They don't work in order and some cases take longer than others. That's what I have learned from being here listening to others and through my own experience. It's something like 98 days average wait to NOA2 but we see people waiting 120+ days regularly.

Did you or anyone here sign up for email/text alert when your status changes? If so did you receive an email first or did the letter in the mail come first.

I have an NOA1 date of March 20 and I'm super anxious to hear back about our NOA2 aswell.

I wasn't sure if we would hear via email/text or just by receiving a letter.

By the way Congrats!!!

I have never gotten anything by email or text although I did sign up for it. I got both NOA1 and 2 by snail mail.

Can I have hot chocolate instead? Specially if it's winter in Salt Lake! Brrr 😨... Chocolate... Hmmm 😋

 

I refuse for them to move to April till my fav people from previous months get their NOA2... And that, of course, includes you. I'm hoping for your magic envelope to show up in the mailbox every single day

Thank you,

 

I'm hoping for it within the next week too. My fiancée will be here next saturday and we were really thinking we would have an answer by then.

Interesting. Our first notice was via TEXT than shortly later email. I was surprised by the text as I thought it was only going to be email so I kept telling my Fiancé to check junk mail ha-ha but we did receive our NOA1 in the mail one week later which was nice.. better than this NOA2 wait, sigh .. starting to get nervious.  I really dislike that the online/ap version isn't working well because what if the mail goes missing what a nightmare that could be !

Awwwwwww!!!! 
We mustn't forget to connect on FB!

Hm, good, hot choc is permitted!
Right now you'd rather need an iced one. I saw pics from the future in laws on FB today, hanging out at their pool. Seems West Point has started the roasting sequence!

That's exactly my worries. Our petition was delivered to California in the first week of March, they are already giving approvals almost into the 3rd week of March.

I'm interested in how the whole USCIS package sorting works from the time it arrives in the lock box to the time it lands on someone's desk to adjudicate. You'd think they have some type of system that put them all in an order based on at least date received, but sometimes it seems like they just toss everything in one of those huge wheeled laundry bins like the cleaning folks use to move laundry in hotels, and then they just randomly draw out of that bin that may contain an entire week spread of packages. According the the Q&A from the former adjudicator, it only takes an average of 15 minutes to adjudicate a case, but the rest of the time the files are just piled up somewhere waiting to be drawn from the stack.
