Did you file for a K1 or CR1? Your timeline says CR1 and your NOA1 was only in April?

OUR JOURNEY SO FAR: (dd/mm/yyyy)

18/09/09 - CR1 NOA1

16/07/10 - POE LAX (256 days NOA1 to interview)

27/09/10 - Aussie/American bun in the oven due May 10, 2011

06/01/11 - Submitted change of address online to USCIS. Mailed I-865 for sponsor. Neverending!

yes i applied last year for a k1 visa and this year for a cr1. same woman but i can't believe that they are going so slow with march cr1's. i guess we will have to wait until june to find out what is happening. the k-1's are going real fast.

How were you able to find out how many were processed in the month? I'd like to try to track this as well.

Thanks

hey - you gots approval at 129 days !! That's a blessing, a godsend, really !

USCIS 'guidelines' are currently at 150 days, this petition type.

You are 'under the curve' !!!

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

Can you tell me how to see "touches"? I don't see a date update button when I sign into my USCIS account? Thanks

You need to create an account (sign up) with USCIS and create your portfolio with your Receipt#. There is a field named "Last Updated Date" which tells you about touches.

Also, this touch is really nothing related to approval hope.

Oh yes, thank-you I see it now. They received my application on april 19 and the last updated date is April 20 so it's only been "touched" once! As you say it may not mean anything? Hmmmm

You may start calling USCIS after 09/19, once you crossed 5 months, that's their official processing time.
