November 7th and no NOA2 yet. We had a touch on Oct 3rd. Seems as though Vermont is buried in applications. We arep raying for Sasha to be here by Christmas.
January 25th at 7 pm. USCIS website shows NOA2 approval. Our tremendous thanks to Senator Bob Corker's office for guiding us and calling and explaining. HE has an excellent staff and truly cares for the tax payers and effective merit based government. To those waiting for NOA2s, if 6 months is up, insist on expedition, call, speak to an immigration officer not a phone clerk and call and write ot your Congressional people. Congress fund USCIS and the want ot know the truth : YOUR STORIES. keep concise notes, names, people, times, remember: be kind, firm and fair in all your correspondence.
NVC telephone wait was long but super friendly and helpful staff. made you feel at ease and treated you with respect.

Point of entry went very smoothly. Took the non stop flight from Moscow to Washington DC. It was 1/3 of the price of US carriers.
Flight was on time.
Immigration lines were not excessive. When Sasha presented her envelope "the big secret" she was quickly sent to the special immigration area. (There were many people waiting there for additional screening from mainly from the Istanbul flight). ]
Sasha was seen quite quickly with only a few non intrusive questions followed by "welcome to the United states and sorry you had to wait". Very kind indeed. |

| Embassy Review : |
full review later but here is key points:
only 3 interviewees today.
Sasha took her interview at 8 am and was approved by 10.30am.
She was asked if she want to interview in Russian and replied
in English and did the interview entirely in English.
Lots of questions regarding pictures and meeting in laws etc.
all went well - no complications.
Male consular officer - very respectful, very fair, very business like
and thanked her for her depth of documentation and her wished her well for her new life.
all 3 ladies there today got approved ! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
