First and foremost, my post was not about imposing guilt on anyone!

You have nothing to feel guilty about - especially since the applications seem to be processed in a random pattern and are completely out of our control.

Of course we are happy for anyone who is moving through the process because maybe we will be next!

Sorry if it came out sounding like resentment; that's not the case.

It's all part of the roller coaster I referred to...you know that kind of intimidating one at the park that is only 30 seconds long but seems like hours when you're on it and you sometimes feel like you're going to barf?

Well no wonder. California's poping them out like candy lately. I'd be talking up a storm too if everyone was getting their NOA2's at the same time. Did you see the immigration search timeline? They have 15 spots and can only hold the last three days worth of NOA2's in there cause there's so many. We still have last months in ours. :P

I think that all our adjudicators were sent over to process California's stuff.

Nicely said, Megger. No one is to feel guilty!

Now, another UK person just got their NOA2. Do all countries have their own adjudicators? Cos the last 2 out of 3 approvals have been UK. Maybe it's just the UK adjudicator working on his/her K1's and every one else's adjudicator working on other visas? I'm just speculating and obviously haven't a clue how they work things, but just trying to make everyone feel better. And I still ain't got mine, and I'm UK, so I'm probably talking horse s***, but maybe that is the case.

What about my guy then? Granted he's not technically English. But the Queen's on his money! That should be good enough. :P

Now don't you start beating yourself up, Laura! So far this week, we've all had chronic anxiety, misplaced guilt, arguing with our menfolk and barfing. We're all in the same boat, but at least it's not the Titanic. Come on girls, we can get through this.

Doghandler - have you read the Q&A Session with the former adjudicator? I don't know how to paste the link but I can tell you how to get there...

Go to Guides and at the bottom right you will see Q&A Session with former USCIS Adjudicator.

I believe it was done in 2007 but can still give you a little insight as to how things happen there.

Below is the link for you. :) It's a bit of an eye-opener there.

From what the guy says then I'm thinking that I'm stuck with an adjudicator that went on vacation. My NOA1 date is the 22nd and the days of the 19th to the 22nd haven't been approved while the dates before and after have. So....I was two days off. :P I have terrible, terrible luck.

Thanks Laura and Bacon for that link, I do find this site incredibly challenging to find things. That was a right depressing read!

My NOA1 is the 30th and I haven't been approved either. I am the Queen of bad luck. Believe me. It's probably my presence that has doomed the entire box, so apologies if you are in the same box as me.
