No, I don't consider myself an April filer. I've been told that you use the date on the NOA1 to determine your month of filing and I have also come to the conclusion that that is correct. This is what I've been going by and I think most people go by. When I check on the USCIS website it gives the EAC # and says "We received your information on May 7........I think I'm an early May filer.
Wow! 34 days. It looks like the average on VJ is 10 days. My timeline is updated and accurate. So, it took me 14 days.
34 days!?! I would have been going nuts wondering if they'd received it. How long did it take them to cash your check?? Are you going by the date that you actually received your NOA1 in th email or the date at the top of the document? You go by the date at the top of the document.
Thanks for all your support. You've all been great.

Based on your timeline, aren't you an April filer? You submitted your petition on April 23 and received your NOA1 on May 7.
I always wonder the same... are we April filers or May filers? We sent our package in April and got our NOA1 34 days later in May! I got to the conclussion that we are May filers, as the process officially starts with your NOA1, when the USCIS starts processing your case.
OP, was your adjudication date that appeared on your timeline link accurately? If not, did you got your NOA2 before or after the VJ's estimated date?
