Okay....I think that I'm bout ready to scream :wacko: . Why are they doing this? How can they expect us to wait this long? I just got off the phone with USCIS and all they had to tell me was that they were currently working on February applications and they are within their processing time. Therefore, they have up to six months. :angry::help::angry::wacko::blink::crying::help::help::wacko::angry: Come on....just give me my approval already!! My man needs me.

I have made bout three phone calls, and never even got a touch. Guys....imagine how strong we will all become once this is all over. :whistle: Okay...I've vented....I will be cool.

I was just the opposite. I started out very calm because I figured I would be approved in 90 days (according to VJ timeline at the time). Like you I was counting on having my fiancee here by Christmas. I even buffered in an extra month ( I thought) just in case. Since passing the 100 day mark I have slowly felt my anxiety level increasing on a daily basis. I am still hoping for Christmas :innocent:

I am very thankful to the people on VJ who are concerned enough to throw me a lifeline when they see that I am starting to get tired of treading water. Grab ahold Byron!

Don't worry guys, we'll all get our approvals soon. I agree that after you hit the 100 day mark and you don't hear anything, it gets a bit depressing :( , but there are still so many before us who haven't heard anything either. I think we'll get our NOA2's by the end of the month (positive thinking...lol :yes: ) and the rest of the process will move along quickly and we'll all be with our loved one by the holidays!

Okay....I think that I'm bout ready to scream :wacko: . Why are they doing this? How can they expect us to wait this long? I just got off the phone with USCIS and all they had to tell me was that they were currently working on February applications and they are within their processing time. Therefore, they have up to six months. :angry::help::angry::wacko::blink::crying::help::help::wacko::angry: Come on....just give me my approval already!! My man needs me.

I have made bout three phone calls, and never even got a touch. Guys....imagine how strong we will all become once this is all over. :whistle: Okay...I've vented....I will be cool.

Seems like somebody want to skip the line here :lol: ( just kidding). If you want to not talk to the CSR, why not use the RFE trick. I'm sure someone here can help you with the number. The CSR gets paid to say that, they have no clue whats's going on at VSC/CSC. The way VSC has been acting recently, i would say you have another 2 to 3 weeks.

there are a lot of other May filers with earlier sent in dates and they haven't got any good news either, so cheer up.

Then again it's VSC, what the hell have they been doing up there?????????????? they sure ain't talking about labour day.

I see too much VSC filers crying on this board, give May filers their G@@% D@^^ NOA2 already. we want to be their for Thanksgiving, so get up of your @$$ :innocent::innocent: these are adults here, they want to be TOUCH :whistle::whistle:
