When I spoke to USCIS about Vermont processing times on March 19th they said they were on Jan 1st (mine is Jan 12th NOA1) and to expect to hear something in 2-3 weeks... It's now been 4 weeks and still nothing. Calling today on my lunch break to see if there is any more news.

Fingers crossed!!

Well.. unfortunately they got my hopes up for no reason.

4 weeks ago (March 19th) they claimed they were working on NOA1 date of Jan 1, 2012...

Today... they claim they are working on December 25, 2011. #######?

How did they do negative 6 days worth of case in the last 4 weeks?

I just don't get how they can go backwards... even if the are backed up then they would have just not gotten very far lately, they wouldn't be going back in dates? I don't know, I'm just really pissed off with them right now.

I know I've not been waiting as long as most people, but the fact that they told me 4 weeks ago that I would have heard by April 10th (ish) then why are they now telling me "You are looking at the last week in May". That's very frustrating.

Anyway, thats the info I got.

Dec 25, 2011.

According to them Jan 12,2012 should have an answer by the last week in May.. maybe those dates can help gauge other VSC people?

Sorry for my frustration... Work is overwhelming and I miss my husband soooo much. I had hope that we could be done with this whole thing and finally together by June or July but now I don't see that happening :crying:

I have learned not to trust the information given by CSRs of UCSIC. Just wait till you reach 5 months time from your priority date and then call if you have not heard anything. If they still do not tell anything then contact your congressman or senator to look into it.

That's so disappointing :(... I was hoping to get my NOA2 this month but I guess there's no way that's gonna happen..my wife is gonna be very disappointed to hear this...I was just wondering, how did you go about contacting the Vermont office? I'm just curious if someone else calls them and asks the same question if they're gonna give us the same response.

Hi Fellow January 1-130-ers :)

How are things going for everyone? It been a realllllyyy tough time for me, I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way. Just really miss my husband a lot and I wish we could speed this all up but I know we can't.

How does everyone else pass the time or handle the distance? Does anyone have any fun little secrets to share of ideas to spend time with your loved one or games to play or fun little "dates" you can have via e-mail, text, phone calls, skype, video calls.. etc? I'd def love to hear some ideas. It's hard being this far apart and sometimes just adding something different to the mix might help with the boredom and frustration of waiting :(
