Is anyone else questioning the reality of their NOA-2, or maybe even their sanity after such a long wait?!

Where are you NOA-2?!

09/21/10 - I-129F Sent!

09/23/10 - I-129F Received in Dallas, TX

09/28/10 - Text & E-mail NOA1 (It was at 12:44AM, weird) Notification that our case was transferred to VSC.

09/29/10 - Check cashed

09/30/10 - NOA-1 Hard Copy dated Sep. 27, 2010

10/03/10 - TOUCH!

After numerous calls to USCIS, my two Texas Senators and a Congressman, the latter got an "expedite" put through (if you can call a month and a week after ONPT an expedite). Just never let up! Even though mine took way too long, there were people who were a month before me and waited longer because they just sat back and watched. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

03/31/11 - NOA-2!

04/05/11 - Received NOA-2 hard copy.

04/07/11 - NVC Received

04/12/11 - Case left NVC via DHL

No they're not. It is the same old ####### with the same old failure Vermont Disservice Center: One day a month they put out 25% of what they should be putting out, and the rest of the time it is 5% to 8%.

I agree, it's still taking ust as long: in fact, if you look at the projected adjudication timeline, mine is constantly being extended, which suggests that they are falling behind, more and more

Yep, I'm dropping behind as well. It used to be March 16 to March 22. Now it's March 22 to April 4.

Just one pathetic failure after another. That is the story of the worst failure in the history of human civilization, the Vermont DIsservice Center.

What's the deal, really?! I just read a long transcript from a press conference in February where the USCIS director talked about how good everything was. I always wonder if there isn't some sort of legal action we can take? Congressmen and Senators can only make inquiries it seems, what is our next recourse?!
