Sorry if I made you feel excluded :(

I did not hear any noise from CSC filers so I thought that they did not want to be active in discussions...horrible assumption I know!

You are more than welcome in the April filers that was created before, I mean who am I to exclude anyone from an OPEN forum!

My NOA1 date was 4.7.2011 and we sent it 4.6.2011...I hope that we are lucky enough to receive NOA2 with that speed as well!!!!

No worries, Angela. We can be neighbors on the forum block; each visiting the other from time to time. :D

It's hard to believe that a month has gone by already since we filed. It seems so short, yet like such an eternity. Let's keep those timelines updated. It helps to give others an idea when they might get their NOA2's. :time:

I feel the exact same way...I still never received NOA1 hard copy so I will call tomorrow and request a duplicate. This month went by so fast yet at the same time not fast enough. I woke up with that empty feeling in the pit of my stomach....mssing him so much...ugh...but it's okay because vsc is speeding up and if they keep the pace up we are looking for an end of august early sept noa2...

I know what you mean, Angela. I've been watching my NOA2 estimation on my VJ timeline. It keeps getting closer and closer. It started out as mid-Sept. Now, it's showing mid-August. Go, CSC!! :thumbs:

I know the feeling. I'm thinking you're probably right about the chatter increasing as more April filers getting their NOA2's. I keep watching my estimated adjudication dates moving closer and closer, but my case is at CSC. They've been really cranking out the petitions lately. I've heard to expect anywhere from 3 to 4 months for NOA2 for CSC.

Nope, you cant... at least not without scuba gear. :lol: I know what you mean, Wanda. We're expecting our first child together in October and I'm stuck here in the States missing the whole pregnancy experience. My mom and I are flying over for the birth and staying for a month. In that time, we're hoping that she'll have her medical and interview and be able to come back with us.

I just checked Igor's list for you. As of today, Sunday, May 22, 2011, you're ranked #446. Being able to check this list will give you at least some hope and indication of how fast things are progressing at VSC. Within the past month, CSC has approved at least 30-40 applications that we know of (this list is based upon VJ timelines and there's no way of knowing how many others that aren't members here they've approved).
