My petition was received on October 22nd and I have been very patiently waiting. I decided to try to call today to get more information. The woman was not very happy that I am calling to ask about how much longer it was going to take. She told me they are working on cases from July and I need to follow the times listed in their website. She said for me not to call back for "at least 2 to 3 months".

I have heard of people filing after July and getting their NOA2 already even some October filers got their NOA2 already. Why is that? Do some people get bumped up for any particular reason like calling their state senator as I heard suggested before?

I would not do that personally unless I had an issue with getting approved after the interview process.

anyway, just wanted to hear the experiences from others, by the way my case is at the California Service Center.

thanks,

wade

VSC is currently processing October.

CSC is currently really behind, though they did approve a bunch of November and December petitions recently for some reason.

Check Igor's list to see what other people report from their timelines to get an idea of where they are holding currently:

I saw somewher on this site about files suffering water damage....Could it be these files are too hard to sort out or are they not dried out yet and CSC are operating on the Military term "A need to know" basis...ie "Them to know and you findout" as I recent filer I empathize with those 2012 filers who are still waiting as I am still waiting for my police clearance here in Australia well beyond the 15 days turn around they that state...Yet my British clearance was spot on and well in time.
