It looks like we are getting the short end of the stick. Most People from Feb and Early march got approved last month itself. And then they delayed rest of us, they said its because of the H1B applications.

Now we don't see any approvals at all and even if we do, they are very bad about updating the status online. I figure people that file after July 30 will probably get a fast response because they are going to be paying more. I am begining to feel like we are getting scr*wed over cause they are delaying our approvals while they go digital and update their site. We all know how IT projects go, the initial release is going to be buggy and have problems.....I just hope we won't get messed up because of their update. It's about time they approve all the march and atlease early April filers....

All I can do here is pray for an approval while :crying:

78 days waiting for NOA2 isn't really that bad is it? I saw on the processing times page that the average is currently at 106. I know how you feel, though, my service center shot up from 30 something to 55. I started the process thankful to be using the Vermont Service Center, but now I'm not so sure. All we can do now is be patient and hope that things speed up alot.

Good luck!

It's easy to say 78 days isn't really that bad, but its hard to go through it, I am sure you will find out when you get to the number of days of waiting.
