I sent my package on April 12th to Lewsiville, Tx., they received it on the 13th, but I haven't received any text/e-mail, NOA on the mail and the check has not cleared yet... what is going on?? :(

Yea, just wait it out...it's funny because we just started and this is supposed to be the fastest step and look at us! :bonk:

lol...I have not received my hardcopy yet and it's been 2 weeks.

Eeek! Also got my NOA1 in April :-s I half wish I'd never found Igor's List, I feel like all I do these days is refresh that page to see how quick Vermont is going :P Good luck to all of us!

Normally, I check the forum out and then limit myself to checking Igor's list twice a day...lol...still alot I know. It is exciting to see how VSC is picking up the pace though...I check the approximate date of NOA2 on my timeline too, but I limit that to once a day...lol

Oh the approximate date changes on our timeline? I had no idea! Oh man, now that's another thing to check!! Haha, to be honest, at least it's something to do you know? Coz this is the worst part. The waiting. Where you can't do anything! I want to try to organise my police reports but then I keep thinking, well what is our NOA2 doesn't come for ages and then they aren't valid anymore :-s Ergh. Luckily my lovely fiance bought his plane ticket 2 days ago so he'll be here in a month to 'officially' propose, well, get down on one knee and give me a ring anyway :P It'll be so great to be able to hold hands with him again. Haha, out of everything that's what I miss the most this second, how weird.

Yes it changes as people update their timelines. If there are not enough approvals in a couple of days the dates change for a later date and if alot of approvals happen in one or two days the dates move closer. And you are right, it does give us something to do because i can tell this wait is going to be hard lol! BUT we have just started our journey so we need to be as patient as can be lol!

I too am going to see my fiance at the end of June. I know what you mean, it's the smallest little details that we miss the most!

you are very welcome! I am so excited to finally be in game lol. We have some months ahead of us but it seems like VSC is picking the pace back up. I looked back for a year and two and there were people getting their NOA2 in 2 months! OK so that's not going to happen with most of us now, but it is still a possibility! But I have my mind set on 5.5-6 months for NOA2 and if it comes quicker I will be twice as happy :dance:

I sent mine to Dallas Lockbox today. Not sure if that means I am an April filer or will I be a May filer as certainly I won't get my NOA1 until May sometime.

I was looking at timelines from the past Vermont Service Center and it does seem like over the last 2 years the time between NOA1 to NOA2 was 1.5 to 3 months (until mid 2010). It looks like it started getting bad for the Aug and Sept 2010 filers as most of those look like 5 months and now Oct/Nov filers are looking more like 6 to 6.5 or 7 months so, I am going to anticipate the worst and hope for the best. I am going to anticipate that the time between Noa1 and NOA2 for filers in April or May 2011 is at least 9 months based on the trend. So, I assume complete process 12-14 months. Not great, but not horrible. It is what it is.

Well April filers, it seems that a few March filers have been getting their NOA2's. Lets hope that this trend keeps up for April filers as well.

The HUGE difference is that they are all CSC filers. Our timelines are moving up though so I do feel good about that. As long as VSC keeps up the pace they had a couple of weeks ago then we can be looking at early Aug approvals. From VSC, it is Feb filers that are getting approved, but they still have oct-jan that they are working on. I just hope for a speedy process!
