Zoomer posts the lists and he is on vacation. He will be back the middle of next week.

I think the USCIS 6 month clock starts running on the Received Date on the hard copy of your NOA1. Unfortunately this does not apply to you since you had a RFE. USCIS says that the 6 month committment does not apply if they need to request additional information.

A follow up. I was too slow with my edit.

Your petition is obviously out of its box and on an adjudicator's desk. Do you have any idea why you have been touched so often? The adjudicator must be having a difficult time with your petition for some reason.

What was the RFE for?

If you don't want to answer, just tell me to mind my own business. :)

Oh my goodness. I'm overwhelemed with how much information is here. I have a receipt date of June 22, 2007. So I figure I'm about halfway through the wait process. At least for the USCIS portion of it. Then it'll go over to the Consulate. So, how do I know if it's been touched? :wacko:

I agree it is crazy , they are obviosly totally overwhelmed. Seems like they planned very badly for the HB-1 deadline rush and the pre-fee increase rush. Putting them within a couple of months of each other was crazy thinking.

Ok..so it is 6 months or 180 days.. if the count starts on the day of NOA1 I am now in my 158th day.. and with the RFE when i got the confirmation that the case has resumed it sais 60 days.. so which means 180 plus 60 days equals to 240 days.. but what i really don't understand is the members that I have found here that had RFEs took only days or two weeks to get their NOA2 after their cases has resumed due to an RFE.. mine is just taking longer.. i hope my officer is not on vacation.. we all know for the fact that officers work on RFE first thing before any other cases because they just have to finish it or try to get rid of them first in their desk or wherever they put them..i'll put it this way, I SHOULD HAVE MY NOA2 BEFORE OR ON MY 240TH DAY!!!

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Actually it works out to 287 days for July filers but I decided not to include the projections for CSC because the statistical validity is a little suspect.

And if it is any comfort to you guys, you are doing a lot better than VSC. Our 30 day average is 0.367 approvals a day and the projection for July filers is 428 days. :crying:
