Definitely. Would be so awesome for them to adjudicate our petitions close together. The gates are open! ha. But I will control my optimism for today. It is a Friday however....But the next 2 weeks should be very good.

Lets just all hope the flood gates remains open, been shut for way too long.

Congrats to all that got approved yesterday........ praying for mine today nevertheless

Does anyone know if theres a possibility the Jan filers will have to wait 8.5 months or is that just for the new applicants?

Processing time at VSC for the K1 is 5 months. It was never 8 months. When you're beyond 6 months then it's time for service requests and congressional or senatorial inquiry.

Lol! That sounds like something I would do!

I remember someone saying their packet was 150 pages. Did that one get approved yet???

Wow. that's crazy. USCIS is looking for very basic information (confirming a meeting within the past two years. They should have saved most of that for the interview. But I guess it can be consulate specific sometimes with the front-loading. I have a feeling today will be a much slower day (it is a Friday afterall..) But hopefully we'll see a couple people get something today. Wish they would hit the 1/20 NOA1s. Feels like we've been idling around forever.

wasn't everybody's?

thats about the amount i sent in.. for I129F..

[wdm1986 2]

Lol! And you were a 2/9 touch right?

I'm sure it was well-organized Photomile. The average person might not want to send anything like that in however. It just slows them down because they are looking for very specific information. But again I think it depends on the consulate. high fraud consulate it might be better for front loading so that before the interview they have had time to examine the evidence. When I submitted the petition I was told to focus on quality and brevity. USCIS is all about confirming a meeting within the past 2 years and some basic relationship evidence i.e. photos together. I think my submission was probably about 40-50 pages of various things. I probably didn't even need half of what I included. I think I remember a couple veteran users from VJ that only submitted a single photograph and some irrefutable evidence of meeting (i.e. boarding pass, passport stamp, couple receipts). It would be interesting to know what a lot of the RFEs end up being for. The relationship is primarily evaluated at the consulate. USCIS job is very simple. Background. Meeting. And maybe a little evidence of ongoing.
