Okay guys, I really have a good feeling about next week approvals. Judging by the weekly stats, it looks like CSC really kicks out those approvals towards the end of the month...at least for the last couple the numbers are high towards the end. I really hope for all of you that are up for an approval soon that it comes next week. On another note, I just found out today that I am headed for England to see my sweetheart. I am so excited I am just peeing myself. It will be a quick trip, but most importantly I get to see him. I have missed him so much. 11 days and counting...yippeeeeee!!!!!!

It must just seem like lots happens when it's someone else's month. I did some playing around with the timeline search and it seems - if I did it correctly - that about 36% of Jan, CSC filers have received their NOA2s. I searched for how many Dec, CSC filers there were and how many of them had their NOA2s by March 23 (about a one-month corresponding offset), and they had only 43%. That's more, sure. But they had fewer filers with about the same actual number of NOA2s.

I don't think that makes me feel *better* per se, but like I said, when I get really frustrated, I like to play with the data to see if I can try to work some kind of voodoo mojo magic on the whole thing and make a data-crystal ball.

Doesn't seem to be working, but what the hell.

And to be clear - that's data for K1, Jan, CSC filers, compared to K1, Dec, CSC filers.

Thanks for these numbers TimsDaisy,

it helps to calm down a little. I guess we were all shooked up by that week when CSC did not issue any NOA2s and noone even got touches.

I'm getting antsy like everyone else. But it does help to know I'm not the only one waiting. I would be super concerned it there were a very small number of us waiting. I hope this week is better.

Random question, its been difficult for me to track the posts lately. I don't know if VJ changed they way posts are done or if I accidentally selected some option, but its harder for me to search through the posts. I can only view one response to a question at a time. Suggestions on how to fix this?

True, January NOA2's lag is not as bad as it appears. But there was an abnormal slowdown during the three weeks 4/1 to 4/21. If you calculate the days between January's NOA1s that have not received NOA2s yet, the wait has increased about ten calendar days. I did this a couple days ago, so this is an estimate: December's NOA1s waited an average of about 79 days for their NOA2s. January's NOA1s waited about 82 days for their NOA2s. There is little increase from December's NOA1s, only three days. However, if you calculate the days from January's NOA1s without NOA2s yet, to April 23(today), the average is about 89 days.

Reese16: at the top of the forum (left side) is an "options" drop down menu. Select Standard to view all of the responses in a row. What you are seeing now is the outline.

Look for the button "Options" near the top of the page. It is actually a dropdown menue that should allow you to select the Display Mode "Standard"
