Someone had posted a case number (From the TSC) with the last 4 digits as an X, and I went exploring a bit. Looks about 25% or so have been approved from September cases that I had seen, I haven't had the time to go looking at August's case numbers. But we all are getting closer! Sadly one day at a time.

 

I noticed that too, many September 2017 Filers are getting their NOA2 this month.  I looked over some in August 2017 and many NOA2 in February 2018.  So by that measure we could be looking at NOA2s in July 2018.  We are almost half way there!  One day at a time but it is one day closer!

If your case number still doesn't work go herehttps://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/users/sign_up to double check it.

Sadly my hard copy and the website have mismatch dates on them. I'm trying to up load screenshots but the web site says the files are to big. They are off by one day. Hard copy states PD as Jan 3rd. And the site says Jan 4th...

 

 

I made my account yesterday and it works! Only thing I don't like about this is it sends you a temp password every time you want to log in.

Does anyone think it might be a possibility that the TSC (NSC, too) will speed up soon? Serious question-- I'm not being sarcastic! :blink: What possibly caused the slow-down since last year?

I figured my center out where the other Washington state I-130's were sent too, keep in mind this didn't work with all the other states that I was trying to keep a mental note about, Texas, Cali, and New York seemed all split up, so thte bigger states (By population got split in half and the smaller ones were all sent to one center.. And my guess is that some states or possible countries are sent to  Potomac, but the more I looked at it, it seemed it was by state.

 

I'm 100% sure if this is even accurate. Just something I noticed.

we are in Texas

Approvals have already started for well into October! :)

I don't know if its just me, but man I am really struggling this week! I'm annoyed at myself about it too! Hahaha! I'm normally really chill about the whole process, but the past few days, the wait just feels unbearable. Which is crazy because I know how long this process will take!

The feeling is mutual! Knowing approvals in October are happening gives me some hope. This NOA1-NOA2 wait is metal draining.

Our receipt date is January 12. and I received NOA quickly before the 21st. It's been silence then and this wait is so hard. Wishing everyone a speedy process.

I'm a Cit and the wait seems to be longer than for PRs.

That is confusing, I thought Citizens had a shorter waiting time?
