Hello All. After 193 days I finally received the NOA2 today. My NOA1 was received 2/3/12. So anyone who has been waiting around the same time as me should be hearing something soon. I could hardly control my excitement when I got the news today. I wish you all the best!

Thank heaven... some progress!!

Congrats!!!!

No expedite...but Joseph is from the PI and was adopted to the US, so maybe that helped?

Hang in there people and support each other as much as you can! we have one person in our January family who passed 200 days mark yesterday and we are all rooting for her and others still waiting... we have been there so we know it's tough but once you get your NOA2 in a few days you will feel so much better, I promise! :) Good luck!

Thanks for the back-up Sabi! I think 10-12 days is pretty darn fast for NVC. I'll take it over the 195 I've already waited. In fairness, i think they were backed up over a month ago, but I think things seem to be back on track for them.

Has anyone tried this number yet??

I am calling this number tomorrow, and I am asking for Mr. Gregg himself. There is no need to rake a receptionist over the coals...go straight to the man in charge.

Also, I called our normally disappointing number again today (the customer service one) and asked for a Tier 2 person...I think that the Tier 2 was more rude and less helpful than the first level people. She gave me the same bs about working on Jan 16 applications and no expedited requests could be done.

EVERYBODY START CALLING THE VERMONT SERVICE CENTER. Don't worry about getting them angry..don't even give them your information about which petition is yours...just complain about the time and lack of communication and get into them a little bit.

there are lots of people who are waiting that many days just like you. you are not alone.

here is a place you can look at approvals,,

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=1&visa=1&scenter=2&option=1&sortby=2

Got NOA2 08/06, NOA1 was 02/07, filed 02/01. Waiting for whats next. The whole thing is all about waiting and no one can plan based on this stuff. I want to make a trip to supply more evidence as we only met for 2 days and took only one picture together, but I need to know the interview day before I can make my trip plans...unfortunately all we have to do is wait.
