Walang anuman. I am sure you will get your NOA2 on monday. She grew up in Muntinlupa City. When you come to Manila I will help you with your bet. We can eat balut together. I also really want to see Cebu.

Hi all!

I just wanted to let everybody know that we've been approved as of November 2nd. I checked the USCIS site just now and it says approved. There's no email yet, but maybe that will come later. It's a long journey and I hope CSC and VSC kick it into high gear and approve everybody! GO CSC!!! GO VSC!!!

Hang in there, yours should be coming soon. Do you know if your case is with an officer yet? Mine went to an officer October 22nd.

Well I think my case is with an officer since 30 October, that was when the CS told me since it is touched it is on an officer's desk, I just hope they won't keep my case for long..

Excellent! So pleased to see there have been so many more approvals!!! Things seem to be picking up - maybe there is hope after all!! Thing is I am so convinced that we are not going to be approved by Feb it is going to be a nightmare organising everything last minute if we do get approved!!!!

Jeraly:

I made an excel worksheet to calculate the day Maria will come home. Our sent date was 6/8, received date 6/18. My worksheet points to 11/05 for noa2, an interview date of 2/8 and an exit date (from the Philippines) of 2/15. Each day that our noa2 goes beyond the average noa2 date (as calculated by vj) our interview and exit dates are pushed back by that same day.

I don't know if I explained that very well, but I hope this is useful information. But I must add that those are our calculations. We had originally hoped Maria would come home for Christmas, but now we are thinking that we will be together on Valentine's day. However I admit we're not confident enough in the system to set any dates in stone.

I'll be grateful for that day to come, whenever that is.

Ramzis, with his stoic attitude and his ever patience, has been an example for all of us.

Also: If, as some people think, the backlog caused by the other visas is now gone, then I believe the time to noa2 (and vj's averages) will go down for people who have filed after us. Right now vj's average noa1 to noa2 for calif is 130, while our actual number is 149. Tomorrow it is 150, my calculated noa2 date. At some point, that number should start to go down for subsequent filers, but it will take longer to go down than it took to come up (when we filed, I think the average noa1 to noa2 was 72 days).

Noa2 to interview has not changed significantly (in fact it has gone down recently for us), but I think that may have been caused by the backlog in the first phase. By that I mean the following: Because the service centers were not sending as many foreign applications to to nvc, the embassies had fewer interviews to do, consequently the average from nvc to interview went down. When the flow from nvc starts to go back up (as we are beginning to see with the increase in noa2's) then nvc to interview will begin to take longer as well.

Historically, I suspect that june filers' timelines will be the longest for all filers and will subsequent timelines will SLOWLY return to pre-june averages.

My comments are just my ideas. I do not have any experience with this, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Anyhow, good luck to you, good luck to all of us.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I didn't get an email approval either. I found out because a hard copy was sent home. 1 week later I got an email approval followed by another NOA2 hard copy. Very odd.

been another ok week for CSC including the first july filer (non expedite / no special cases). Here's hoping they keep it up.

I know!! all week I was thinking they were having another slow one like last time, and somehow they've snuck 25 by me! I wouldn't mind more of that
