She did at the same time, but got in trouble typing and clicking with tired eyes, hahahahaha!

You and @pajobra, @Estibaliz and @NovaDC just cracked me up so much when I came online!

As other people said already, rest now and sleep like a baby

curious about the statistics for March filers.  what do you make of the approvals so far up to yesterday?  I suppose we are up to about 54 / 56 percent approved now?

I think all of those notices from NVC say "expedited" now. I know ours did, but there is nothing expedited about Montreal

 

It took over a month from NVC sending our information to us receiving Packet 3, and that was after contacting the consulate about it.

 

Good luck on your next step!

Correct -- They responded to my e-mail inquiry with Packet 3 and then it showed up a few days later physically in mail. No harm in e-mailing them earlier than i did. Maybe they would have sent a response via e-mail a bit sooner?

I sent an email this morning 😂 Quoted my case number and said I was forwarding my personal email for contact for packet 3 and 4 😅

That's awesome!! I will keep checking for sure. 

Our petition is "in transit" as of last night to Vietnam. I guess the reason they "pulled it aside" for AP was minor. I finally found some posts regarding this and it may have been that something was missing from the file when sent from USCIS.

 

So, it arrived on the 2nd and left the NVC on the 7th...not bad, not bad at all!

I bet it is much higher. It seems some members dissapeared from the site. Some I was "stalking" have not updated their status or logged into the site for weeks.

OK, this is current as of 10AM today (8/8/17). Currently 63.1% of NOA1s listed in the VJ database have NOA2s:

 

First NOA2s by NOA1 date. As expected the tail end of the month came up a lot in the past week. The middle of the month continues to lag a bit.:

Next NOA2 by NOA2 date for March filers. The last day of July they clearly made a rush for numbers:

And finally NOA2's by countries with >6 NOA1s. The irony of Canada being the 2nd most completed country isn't lost on us. We're in the 3 that aren't approved. The Dominican Republic hasn't budged. The Philippines are slowly starting to climb.
