Is it me or is Vermont now taking FOREVER???

[Forever Young 1]

Hi all,

I mailed my 129f packet on 7/25/07 to the Vermont Center. I confirmed reciept on 7/27/07...I still haven't received an NOA1 yet!! Am I just being impatient? I see that majority of recent 129f filers received their NOA1's within a week. Now I'm getting worried that I did something wrong! I want to call, but my fiance thinks if I start bothering them now, they will for sure put it at the bottom of the pile!

Any help or advice anyone can give me on this would be appreciated!

Thanks and have a great day!

Deyoungting,

Yes...you're just being impatient... Hang in there...you probably weren't the only petitioner to file in time to beat the fee-increase deadline...

I can certainly understand your impatience . We've all been there, but just chill for a little while. Every step of the way, it has taken forever for each NOA to get in my mailbox. It can be due to a number of factors. If you wrote a personal check you can see if it has cleared your bank and possibly get the case number off the back of it. That's what we did while waiting for NOA1. You can look up your case number on the USCIS website.

ditto...the best indicator would be checking to see if they CASHED your check.

Just so you do not feel lonely, my petition was also received on 7/27 at VSC, I have not received a NOA1 yet, and my check has not cleared.

You might want to monitor The July Filer Progress. Also, go to Attention July Filers. As of this moment, no one who had their petition delivered to VSC after 7/24 has received a NOA1 yet.

Also send a message to weedebz with your specifics so she can add you to the spreadsheet.

Good luck on your journey.

man, it's all so weird... here I was all crestfallen when we got sent on from Vermont to California, but now I'm wondering if it was maybe for the best...

I remember it wasn't too long ago when those who were going through VSC were getting NOA2 approvals in under a few weeks. While those of us who went through CSC were waiting 3 months or longer. Those VSC'ers were tooting their horn quite loudly all the time at how fast they were approved. Remember those days?

Deyoungting, i hate to be the one to say it, but the real waiting is when you wait for the NOA2!!!! i am roughly at 80 days and nothing...not even a touch!!! be patient!! what i did to keep myself busy is prepare, prepare and prepare..after you get the NOA2 , from what i have read you must have all evidence, paperwork filled out, just everything ready!! Try to keep yourself busy by doing this...Read all the forums in here that pertain to your case ..so read read read..that should help you kill some time!!

No. I don't remember those days. I remember people sharing joy about being approved, NOT rubbing it in. I do, however, remember lots of bitter CSCers who couldn't be happy for the VSCers.

Can I suggest checking out the July Filers thread as well - WeeDebz has worked ever so hard putting together a July Filer spreadsheet that you can be added to (if you ask her nicely ;D) so you can check out how July Filers are getting on in the different service centers as well as how people who filed around the same time as you are doing

Look forward to seeing you there!

My fiance filed the petitionon on 30 of June to Texas Service Center...

He got signature card on 7 of July from TSC and our packege been sent to Vermont..

On 18 of July the money been cashed

And we still didnt get NOA1 yet...

The phone calls dont help,no human answer...

He tried to check with his credit union,but the bank couldnt find the case number...

All what we can do right now is wait...

You could also read and prepare all the stuff for the phase after getting the NOA2!!!!

I do but I think most people were hoping for CSC to speed up to match VSC and not VSC to slow down

Hang in there. It takes time and when you are half way though it all you will see how time just kinda flew by. Well at least thats how I feel. Maybe because I made several trips in between the wait. Give it some time and things will play out.

I don't want to bum you out but I mailed my packet in April. It was received May 1st and although online it reflects 5/1 I didn't receive a paper NOA1 in the mail until 2 weeks ago. 101 days and no NOA2 now.

I mailed to TSC and it was forwarded to CSC. I'm curious where I am in line. Everything on this site makes me think I should be getting something any day now but the USCIS website says CSC is processing applications received Jan. 13th!

Anyone on here received an NOA2 from CSC who applied April/May timeframe?

I know it feels futile but I would urge everyone here to write letters to congressmen, etc - weekly. This whole process is ridiculous in the way no real information is provided. There's got to be a way to let those in charge feel some frustration too.
