Well I don't know if it makes you feel better or worse but our NOA1 is 1/12/12 also at VSC and our case was last updated on 3/29/12 as well.

We are now past the 5 month mark and we were told they can't do anything for us (not even service request with senator/congressman help) for another 3 weeks...

I'd say since your NOA1 is in March you have at least another 2 months to go, possibly more.

Of course there is always a chance that things get sped up between now and then but I'd advise you to think on the long end of things instead of the short end so that you won't be disappointed... when we filed the average for VSC was 3 to 3.5 months so we were assuming ours would be too and VJ timeline originally predicted based on other timelines that we would have approval between April 1 and April 15th... here we are June 15th and still no NOA2 approval.

Better to be prepared for a good 5-6 months for NOA2 and then be pleasantly surprised if you get it sooner because it's not fun to have to try to re-adjust your thinking to wait longer that you originally planned or expected :/ Trust Me :(

Please allow between 5 months and 8 months for an approval. Just hope that you do not receive a RFE (request for evidence) while waiting on your approval. A RFE can come at any time in your waiting.

For what I heard,UK applicants will only take less than 4 months to get their approval. I think Vermont Sevice Center is the slowest SC among the three. Thanks for telling me your story,I really appreciate it! Will definitely include you on my prayers! God bless! :)
