I finally called today and requested my application be expedited for humanitarian reasons. I'm really paranoid about the Sudan Referendum coming up in January as I'm afraid it will re-ignite the civil war, there already are rebels who attack parts of the capital so the sooner my fiancee is here the better.

Yeah unfortunately that data frame is consistently inaccurate. Only 7 non-expedited August (csc) filers have been approved (we're Aug. 5th and we're still empty handed). What's worse is that there are

Waiting still, waiting, waiting... :(

Would it be too wishful to hope for an approval before the end of the year?

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 24, 2011 - Per USCIS website, petition approved and notice mailed.

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

Called Visa Specialist at the Department of State every day for a case update. Informed of interview date on February, 16 2011. Informed that packet was mailed to fiance on February, 15 2011.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

March 9, 2011 at 6 AM - Interview, approved!

March 18, 2011 - POE together. JFK and O'Hare airports. Legal wedding: May 16, 2011.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

When I called in to request my application be expedited I asked them about the processing time. It's still five-months and he said that my August application should have something within two months so we should hear something by January.

January would be nice... good start to the new year, then! (and hopefully before any unrest in Sudan for you?)

I just have a question...on my I-797C Notice of Action, my priority date says 08/09/2010...1st Notice Date is 08/13/2010 and every time I get a touch on USCIS website I get sent a new receipt w/ a new Notice Date...what does this mean? I hope my petition is still in the right line up to be approved.

Just thought I would post here too. August filer. Hope we all get this done quickly. Looks like NOA2's out of the CSC have been coming quickly according to other peoples timelines from june and july.

Not really, my fiance just called the uscis today, was told that they still stick to the 5mos processing time, which i highly doubt if they can get it done to approve the NOA2 on cases that will hit the 5 month mark this Dec. Mind you my case was first and last touched July 26, 2010 since they first received it although my NOA1 is July 17, 2010. Getting the NOA2 is all about being "lucky", i just don't think they process cases in the order they received it, it's totally an arbitrary process sad to say. Waiting is too far from over.

Well.. I'm very hopeful that December will be the month for the NOA2. Maybe their goal is to get as many petitions completed as possible before the holidays. :)

Even if we have to wait for the "5 month" rule... that is still next month. That makes me happy also because we couldn't say that months ago.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Yup, with my four month mark approaching fast, I've almost gotten used to the waiting. At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and know it can't be much longer.
