Hopeful, Perhaps you get flak over your posts because you post so often, therefore people see you more often. To be honest, at this point everything is TSC vs CSC. Combining that with the expedites

Based on your location, your petition will actually be processed at the California Service Center not the Texas Service Center. Keep in mind all applications are sent to the Texas Lockbox Facility and then routed to either the CSC or TSC for processing.

Very odd, my original response to this post created a whole new post.. Trying to do this stuff on my mobile phone never goes right, so lets try this again!

We filed our I-129F on July 2 and received our text NOA1 on July 9 and hard copy July 14.

It's so weird that we've done a long distance relationship for over 5 years yet this 9-12 months is harder!! It must be because we're relying on someone else to allow us to be together now that we've made up our minds ;)

Holding out hope for all of you that it's a speedy and smooth process! GOOD LUCK! :dancing:
