April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

I just called the wife and let her know of the approval. Of course I had her set down, because I knew it was going to come as a shock to her. For those that are interested, we are July Filers, and I want to say congrats to everyone that got approved to this point. I'm still floating on air, because there is a chance now that I can have my wife here before the baby is born. I'm not going to go anywhere, because I want to keep up with everyone and what is going on. At the rate this is going, we might have to do a reunion for everyone to meet in person somewhere. Can you imagine that one?? LOL.

So, when I finally get that NOA-2 in hand, which should be here on Friday.. I'll really be ready to party. Right now, for all the stress that just got relieved, I think I just need a good strong drink.. LOL.

July 9,2010 - NOA-1 Received

February 9,2010 NOA-2 Approved..

At least they kept it on the right days.. LOL.. Only what.. 7 months from received to approved. 210 days total.
