Jeez.....take it ez bro...60 days without sex is nothing. Treat her nice and know her before you get in her pants.This seems so surreal that I feel like you're just lying. Btw my parents got married and saw each other on the day of marriage, imagine that...28th wedding anniversary coming up!! The real definition of arranged wedding :-)

I'm sorry abt how you feel. I agree with America being a great country and have provided every opportunity for everyone to attain the American dream which is built on hard work,trust and accountability. You have to understand that the taxpayer money including yours and mine goes into every progress our country has made. NVC is not doing us a charity or favor,they collect fees and processing fees and state and federal funding to get their job done.Heck, I am even willing to pay $1000 more in addition to their fees if they get their work done faster!
Do not be naive and be content with mediocrity which lays the foundation for sleazy work. As for your comment about living in the country where your spouse is from, its easier said than done. I don't know how long you have been in US, but if you grew up here,you would know by the time you graduate you have 100k in student loans,not to mention credit card debt and lease/rental payments. In other words,you can't leave the country even if you wanted to cos IRS will track you down.
I appreciate all of your comments, I have sent email to "Ben" , called the helpline and sent a message to my congressman. I believe these time frames are not acceptable(even though some might disagree). Nothing might get done this year or 15 years from now but I feel proud in the fact that I tried to make my voice heard which I have every RIGHT to!

I called NVC just to get my case no.I was informed that it's taking 15-30 days to get a case number and another 30-60 days to complete the case. Obviously,these timeframes are ridiculous and usually takes less time,but there is no trend here. Check out NVC timeframe for NOV/DEC filers to get an idea.
Dec 24 is apparently a federal holiday per Obama this year,so expect further delays to this process.
PS: could you please update your timeline,you will doing other members a huge favor who's waiting for their loved ones too.Thanks and happy holidays!

Finally,I-130 was approved today!!! I thank God and all the members in the forum for supporting and helping each other.
Here's a summary of my case: Case status starts with EAC, applied to VSC, transferred to NBC, local uscis office: Philadelphia(not sure if it was transferred there or not)and got text msg today at 6:30 pm that my case was updated.
Hope this timeline will provide some hope to some people. Now moving onto NVC drama!!
