January 2011 Filers!!!

[Pejo 2]

Thanks guys! I do feel bad as I wasn't in a rush for mine while there are others who are waiting to be with their loved ones. I'll allow it though since that removes a huge amount of stress of the shoulders. I didn't do anything special...I have a Nexus, probably the only special thing.

I would send in a revised form, Ashley. Play it safe that way. It'll probably not even matter. I forgot to add Jaime's a# to a few of the sheets and it didn't affect me.

Hi PEJO,

CONGRATULATIONS REally hoping they keep going at this speed for everyone!

You mentioned that you forgot to add your fiance's A#. Did she have an A# previously? even though she is Canadian?

Ill give everyone a little background..In my previous marriage, I applied for a CR-Spousal visa (got approved with a US resident card and all) and was assigned an A# during that application. When I divorced him, I gave back the residence card/status.

This time..I opted to do the fiance K visa..I wrote my previous A# on the forms (like the G325 form..even though it was from a previous case). Im actually getting quite nervous if this could be a good thing or bad thing in terms of the timeline.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or heard of something similar??

I think, if nothing else, the fact that you relinquished the resident card and status and left the country would show that you aren't actually in the process just for immigration benefits. Which is a plus on your side.

I'm sure that they do know that you've been petitioned before, and questions about it may come up, but I don't think it'll be a major issue. Your Alien# would stay with you, so I'm pretty sure you did the right thing with including it.

Actually...

There have only been three so far.

One was an expedite for Haiti.

The other two, we have no idea.

There are some theories, but no one really knows for sure.

If we see more of them come through today, though... I'll probably raise an eyebrow at it.

[jingo 38]

I wonder if there is any connection between these couples like perhaps unique names or no previous marriages or no kids or no criminal record?

Jaime has a A# from when she was adopted from Korea into the US. That is the one I forgot to put on. She kept telling me she didn't have one until I looked at her citizenship form but atleast it didn't throw up a problem.

I was looking at those other cases and I didn't see anything in common. We weren't all from Canada, and I'm sure many others have just as easy of a case as us that filed before us. I thought maybe Nexus but they don't have that. I'm going with just plain luck!

Yes, I think many people including you are very lucky. If you look at Igors list, we now have NOA dates from 2/1 back to 1/27 (5 petition approvals now, minus the weekend they do not accept them petitions). I do believe they are processing a box going backwards. Also, if you look at the data, the only day there wasn't this progress being made was Friday, which likely was due to vacation time with a holiday weekend. I do believe at least 1 adjudicator is processing a box looking for something specific and is going ahead and processing the petitions in it. For what reason we likely will never know for 100% for sure. All I know is, I do not believe in coincidences.

Maybe USCIS got an intern or something

Or it was a Take your kid to work day and they let them to pick up lucky ones

Hello everyone. October filer here, just stopped by to see what it's like in a group where there are actually some approvals! Maybe I need to withdraw my petition and file again since they seem to have forgotten the last 3 months of last year Anyway, to those of you that have avoided the incredibly painful process of sitting for months hoping for an approval, congratulations.

I like your theory, except there seems to be too much order to the chaos. If it where my kids they would have all the boxes out, and be playing in a big pile of the papers like leaves in the fall.... Perhaps that comes next.....

[Diana and Chris 25]

Told ya it was going to be a treat! Oh man. Well, at least we all know we are truly happy for our Jan. buddies approvals.
