Yeah go Cali! Surely it's my turn now!



It surely IS your turn. I check every day for new NOA2's and it makes me sad when I see you still haven't gotten yours sad.gif

I might be missing something obvious, in which case please be gentle wink.gif , but where are you getting your stats? we've had 18 CSC NOA2s this week alone, so your figure of 12 is a bit inaccurate wink.gif

Bill y Bella has some great stats for both centres; I posted them somewhere else earlier... if you're interested I'll look them out again smile.gif



Hmmmm, I've never claimed to be an expert at stats. And maybe I'm doing it wrong. But I just went to the timelines and looked at K1's for CSC. And it's totally possible that I missed a few unsure.gif

I'll have to check the ones Bill y Bella created. Thanks!!!!!

We filed right after you with similar return on the first notice. So hurry and get approved because we are right behind you. Are you going back to visit soon?



Probably not going back soon as I was just with him a month ago. I hope we both get approved soon!!!! I did a little bit of statistical analysis of the approvals. Did a bit of statistical analysis for CSC. Here's what I found:

NOA1's issued in June = 146
NOA1's issued in July = 136
NOA1's issued in August = 64
NOA1's issued in Sept. = 33
NOA1's issued in Oct. = 60
NOA1's issued in Nov. = 43

Of the total of NOA1's issued as above, here's what the NOA2's look like as of 12/06/07:
NOA2's issued in June through August = 5
NOA2's issued in Sept. = 4
NOA2's issued in Oct. = 70
NOA2's issued in Nov. = 95
NOA2's issued in Dec. (so far) = 12

Sooooo, it looks like they've gotten through the bulk of the June-July "OVERLOAD" and maybe that means they will pick up the pace. There are fewer NOA1's in ALL OF August through December than there were in June and July. Let's hope that they keep approving at the same rate because then they will BURN THROUGH the August through December apps.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently the California Service Center was working to make sure there was something to be thankful in November. They opened my package on the 6th day after its arrival. The NOA1 hardcopy is on it's way and the check is cashed.

Come on NOVEMBER FILERS, HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, even though you may be stuck without each other, at least you're not all alone. There are MANY of us who will be without our SO this Christmas.

You're lucky that you've been able to spend time together so many times. Those of us with SO's in Africa and Asia have to go LONG periods between seeing each other. I've only been with my SO once, and probably won't be able to be with him again until he gets his visa.

Well of course you know that we're all going to hold you personally responsible if it doesn't work out. biggrin.gif


Hmm, Another comment for the estimated approval date as calculated by timelines. Your predicted dates will probably get worse as they'll spend another 4 weeks working on the last 2 weeks of submissions from july. Then, we'll be amazed how quickly they start moving. At 25 approvals per week, all of August would take just shy of a week and a half. biggrin.gif All of september about 2 weeks and all of October another 2 weeks.

So I made up my own estimate and figure if I'm lucky I'll hear something sometime before the end of December. Oh wait. Holidays. Ok, first week of January then.
I just guessed, mind you, but I'll be happy to write you a very lovely essay or poem about my process if you'd like.

Well, I'm looking at mid-March for my approval. Which is about what I figured after my novice attempt at number crunching. March isn't bad - that would be approximately 4 months after filing. But then, maybe I'll get lucky (for once-I never win anything) and get the approval in February. One can always hope . . . . yes.gif

Thanks!! I was worried that it might be an RFE. I KNOW it's too early for the NOA2 and I would really feel bad if I got approved ahead of people who've been waiting for MONTHS for their NOA2. They're probably just moving the box in the storage room, I guess.


Yep.. You're best off just taking your mind off it.

Some people flood the service center with constant calls wanting to know their case status. This HAS to slow them down, and is completely unnecessary in most cases.

Some people obsess over every "touch" they get, and go nuts and start calling themselves random names like "the oatmeal" or "grand midget"... Some end up in an asylum, which is why they stop posting on VJ.

I digress... But just be patient, and don't fret, especially this early (yes, I know it's easier said than done)

Well, at least I knew not to call them about it. I know it's early. I'm just a little on edge, you know - the holidays without my SO. cray5ol.gif But I know I'm not the only one . . .

Touches can be something as trivial as someone passing it from one desk to another, or the pallet/box being moved to another store room. Sometimes you might see a pattern, but for the most part, touches have no bearing on the progress of your case.

good.gif We will see though. Good luck!

Okay, I'm probably only going nuts over this cause I'm home sick and have nothing better to do . . . .

But I got touched yesterday. I got touched again today. But I'm only a November filer, so why would they be touching my case twice so soon. I've looked at Vjer's timelines and most who get touched two days in a row either get an RFE or an NOA2.

Would there be any other reason I got touched two days in a row?

Well I am right behind you I sent it in Nov the day after Thanksgiving and got the notice back the beginning of Dec. No one has touched me yet. But they may be in hernia surgery after lifting your file. But it probably means you filled up a crate all by yourself. Good luck at being touched.


I got ANOTHER touch today!! It must be the claim they filed with Worker's Comp for the hernia surgery tongue.gif
