WOW! This is good news that some of you have NOA2 already!! I requested an expedite for an emergency medical situation but if for some insane reason they don't grant it, atleast its nice to know there's not much longer to wait for this step....hopefully :hehe: Thanks for doing the spreadsheet, I added us today.

Isn't it strange how some get approval in 3 mos and others wait 6 mos or more? What exactly are they doing in these "background checks"...??

Hopefully it'll be a smooth wait - Dear God please keep the RFEs away :innocent:

John_trucker - I read that some people keeps calling NVC until they get their case no :hehe: Maybe being persistent helps or maybe not unless you don't mind the wait? :D

- Somewhere between heartaches and waiting comes the chance to be found by someone who can show you that you don't have to be just an Option, but the only CHOICE-

I wonder about these myself - background checks don't usually take that long do they? I thought if you come from a country with less fraud or something it'll be faster but maybe some just get luckier in the wait than others :crying: I'm happy for those who gets approved fast BUT sad for the rest of us that has to go thru the torture of these long wait :crying:

Filed Feb 10, three months to NOA 2 (May 10); NVC case number on May 20 - Received request for fees today May 25 - Paid today $88 and $404. Now wait for doc list and processing of fees.

Congrats apeks! Are petitions for Canadians processed faster by trend? Given the fact they Canada borders the US, wonder if it makes background checks faster or something..
