Your worst case scenerio could 9 months or more. You may get an RFE toward the end and have to wait another three months before anyone bothers to look at the response and move the file along. I've decided to quite feeling sorry for myself about it because it doesn't help. Any immigration lawyers out there have any ideas?

Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I was also glad to see some January filers get their NOA2 recently they are moving along painfully slow but moving along none the less...I am still unable to file a service request as I am within "normal" processing time :-/

Maybe July will be my month...fingers crossed

I miss my husband I couldn't take it any longer I bought myself a plane ticket and will be going to see him in two weeks for 4 days

From Mar12-Apr12

The number of apps pending is going up and completions is going down. The number of new apps is going down. They are all complaining that they have a lot of apps. Why? because they aren't completing enough apps! all they do is complain about pending apps stockpiling while they aren't completing it. if you are able to complete a maximum of 6.5k apps per a month, then why are they doing less the other months? because they sold their filing operations to fci federal in april and thats when everything fcuked up! excuse my language here but this is no other better way to put it up.

this is obvious uscis mismanagement here because they screw up and their stats speak for itself.

if there is a congressional hearing over this, they would just blame fci federal and wash their hands clean.

:wow:
