Well....immediately after I posted this topic I checked both Igor's list (I was #99) AND the official USCIS website I found out my NOA2 was approved October 7th, so I answered my own question. Now we all know Igor's list is a pretty accurate representation of wait times. I suppose once you are in the top 100 your NOA2 can come at any time! Good luck all and hope my topic helped someone else wow.gif

On to the next step of many more........

QUOTE (toma1 @ Oct 9 2008, 09:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm always confused about that NOA1 item in the time line. Do you all put the date that you actually receive it in the mail there?

I put the date that USCIS put ON the NOA1 as having received the packet. That seems like the most relevant piece of information. In reality, I was out of the country when the NOA1 was received and have no idea what day that was.


I put the date on my timeline of the date we received it, but then changed it to the date stated on the USCIS site 30th June

Thanks Shaz! Yeah I'm over it now. I'm just getting on with our new application. Luckily we had 2 copies of the package. I just needed to re-fill in the forms with the more recent dates. I do hope that it's smooth sailing from here though *sigh*



I do feel for you, you get all geared up and it falls apart at the first hurdle....................

Let hope this time you get your NOA1 quickly we got ours in under a week, so I will keep my fingers crossed for you, that yours comes quickly to

Keep me posted, we are all in this together

take care

We talked to the people again today and they can't find our app. So we are refiling asap. I think I'm over being mad, I just want to refile and get things started!


I am so sorry to hear that, hope you kept copies of everything so it is just a matter of refilling in the forms,

Good luck to you with this filing, it will all be worth it in the end, just a pain that you could well do without

Hope your journey is RFE free

Our application was received at Vermont on the 30th June, we had notification that he check was cashed on the 3rd July and received the NOA1 in the mail on the 5th July, a lot quicker than I expected.
Lets hope we all have a fast smooth journey!!!!

Well, luckily you'll have time to heal once this is all done!

It's funny... I was all ready to not hear anything until mid-November at the earliest, and then last week I started getting really, erm, anticipatory (weird word, but yeah). I wish I could just go back to my patiently awaiting mindset--it was so much easier!



weird thing is that I wont be sending packet 3 back till Jan as I am going to Texas for Christmas and the New Year so dont know why I want the NOA2 so much NOW, spoze just peace of mind.

I start the week of by trying not to think about it but by mid week I am on and off Igors list and checking USCIS site twice a day

Oh well lets hope we get tons of approvals next week..............yeah right ha ha

Same exact thing happened with VSC last year at this time. Everyone surmised it was down to training new adjudicators.

And my estimated NOA2 date moved further and further away all the time too. And then all of a sudden we got it after we had prepared ourselves for at least another month of waiting.

My advice is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Good luck!

Well it is nice for them to show the new adjudicators how not to do it, as they do say they are processed in date order ha ha

I have got to the stage when it comes it comes, noting I can do about it

I just hate being in limbo land

To be honest I am waiting for an excuse to open a bottle of laurent Perrier Rose, oh well....... will have to stick with the jack and coke ha ha

I would have an incredibly hard time staying calm and positive if I saw a number of September filers going through when I was months in with no word. I'm not so good at being charitable, I guess! My personal speculation is that someone picked up the wrong box and just started adjudicating... But it really sucks from our end!!!

Stinky Monkey, hopefully you'll get your approval ASAP!

Vermont seems much more inconsistent than California--our center may take longer, but at least they have reasonably consistent approval times (most April filers are approved around the same time, then most May, etc.). While there's a fair bit of overlap, you don't have random September or late June approvals while a ton of April and May people are still waiting. That has to be REALLY frustrating for Vermont filers.



True, so how long do u think WE have to wait Villa?


I'm thinking we're going to start seeing June 15-ish dates next week, then later June starting the week after. So anywhere from two weeks to a month--that's what I'm betting! What do you think?


I hope so my adjudication date just keeps going back

It is so hard to see people being approved in record time that filed in September when I got my noa1 in June, it is really hard to be pleased for them and control my green eyed monster. So the first come first served rule is totally out of the window

Vermont officers are having a bit of a laugh at our expense, wonder if they come on VJ see a post they like and approve them, and if they dont like you back to the bottom of the pile ha ha

We filed in late July 2007 at VSC and got the NOA2 at the end of November. VSC just started cranking out the approvals in late November, hopefully they'll kick it into high gear a bit sooner for you guys this year. Good luck!



I hope so to, maybe they might do more that 1 or 2 in one day.......................wishfull thinking

Oh well my noa2 will come adventually, originally I was down for approval round about now, and now I have another month to wait tick tock tick tock

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsConfusion on Igor's list
I dont suppose that they are allowed to take off inactive members as they dont know the reason for why they have not returned, there might be unable to get on the net or have other problems, they might have abandoned the process. I know it is a pain but at least we know that we dont have to get to the top of the list before we hear anything.

I am just looking at it as a tool see see when someone is approved what their timeline is, and try to ignore my positioning, I hated it when I kept moving back but realised that it was new members joining

Well in the States you can view your cashed cheque on line, and on the back of the cheque they write your number so you can regisiter on the USCIS site before you receive the paper copy of your NOA1
