Boy, this is so depressing to read and I am an August filer. The word "waiting" has taken an altogether new meaning for me. I hope I just dont turn into a patient waiting patiently for my petition to

Hello and regards,

The further they get behind the closer they are to speeding up, that much is for certain

I have an NOA1 date of July-5th, 2012.

Now it has been 6 months and still nothing. I have tried calling tier-2 officers and all they say is there is a backlog.

Prior to today, Vermont center was processing applications dated May-28th as of Oct-30th.

Today there has been another update as of Nov-30th, but the dates are for June-4th. So even with a 1 month progress, has the center only processed a week's worth of applications?

At this rate, I wonder when our papers will come through. Very frustrating!

AMT

I waited exactly 7 months in couple days. I filed on June 1, received NOA2 on Jan4 2013. Your NOA2 is around the corner.

I was a Jan 2012 filer and mine was 133 days, but... there were a couple of others that were 35-45 days and some went 200 days. Just be patient (I know it is difficult and very frustrating) and it'll happen soon.

Warmest Regards and prayers.

I filed mid-June. Was hoping to have New Years in Russia.. I only called VSC twice.. Both time I was told, its in processing, and we don't give time frames anymore... Then in December, I received email and letter of approval... I was surprised because I didn't even know someone was looking at my file (no touch)..

So hang in there... I hope you will be surprised/relieved very soon.

Hi,what does your receipt number begin with? The first 3 letters? I ask this because far as I know,all files that were sent in after August 15th were transferred to the National Benefits Center & are getting approved in about 3 months. I don't know if it applies to you; you may be luckier than you think.

All the best in the rest of your journey :thumbs:

Trying our very best to remain calm & sane. It's definitely taking a toll on me,though. 3 more days to 6 months. I think the only thing keeping me from losing it is having my husband with me. And also LOTS of praying.
