Would I be a march filer or an April?

I mailed my petition out at the end of March but I didn't receive my NOA1 until April 4th. So, that would make me an April filer I'm assuming? Thankfully it's almost a month in! So I estimate 2 more months hopefully and we should get NOA2. So probably like July or August?

Well, your NOA1 was in April, but you could have definitely been included in my monthly scan. You can check my scan to see if you're included as the scans go by received date and not NOA1 date.

I've got a question though... how do people get expedited?

You can get expedited for a few different reasons, one of the most common is financial loss/hardship. But, it will only expedite the NOA2.

Oh my...so many cases! Knowing I am one of thousands is so daunting! Does anyone know of a way to open the file on an iphone? I have the Google drive app but it's saying it can't support/open the file. Google is blocked on my work laptop and I'm not with my personal laptop as often so was hoping I could figure out a way to open it on my iphone. 

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

- The Dalai Lama

@CubaAndChill is correct, you might show up in March scans depending on the receive date noted on your NOA1. I consider myself a March filer, but my receive date is actually Feb. 28th so I show up on the February scans. :)

Of course! Stick and whine with us! :):)

Thank you @CubaAndChill! Found our case number as well, in the received on 17th ones! 

Yet my timeline still estimates end of June. It's only moving a day back and forth sometimes, but it stays between 23rd and 30th.

At least it's May already! :)

You answered my question. Thank you. I wasn't sure if I was a March or April filer but it appears I'm an April filer like yourself. I received my NOA1 on April 4th. Maybe we will get our NOA2 around the same time.

Hah, I answered a question without being aware of it :P

 

But seriously, I would define you as a March filer probably. I mean, if you say your NOA1 is April 4th then I assume your received date was previous to that. March scans go by received date, therefore your petition should be included here in the scans. Did you try to look and find your case number there?

 

You'll be more than welcome to visit us April filers on our thread... You are kind of a hybrid ;) But will probably get a better insight  on your case staying around here.

 

Good luck :)

 

EDIT. Oh well! I wrote this before seeing all the answers you got regarding your doubt. So ignore me, you already know :)
