Got my NOA1 ON August 15, 2011 and now await the NOA2. 2 Months 3 weeks 5 days and counting. I saw from reading the forums that if you filed in the summer like July then you could get an NOA2 in like a month. I guess the holiday times are gonna be slow. Gonna be a long winter I guess.

Got my NOA1 ON August 15, 2011 and now await the NOA2. 2 Months 3 weeks 5 days and counting. I saw from reading the forums that if you filed in the summer like July then you could get an NOA2 in like a month. I guess the holiday times are gonna be slow. Gonna be a long winter I guess.

Everyone's case is different and so are the adjudicators who approve these cases. As of October, VSC has been trending towards 7 months for NOA2 approvals now. Prior to that VSC was approving much more quickly, (less than 5 months) but again, each case is different. Have patience and spend the time gathering everything for your next steps. Best of luck to you both!

RJQ we are three days behind you. The wait is making us NUTS! I am a Type A person so "there's nothing to do but wait" makes me nuts too. May God speed our petitions through and grant us the peace to not bang our heads against the wall.
