I just looked at the WAC #'s around us. Ours ends in 83. We are not approved and neither is 84 BUT out of 11 around us that are I29's, 5 are approved and 4 have RFE's. I'm Nov 7th. I am really hoping to see something soon! Congrats to everyone who has been approved!

I'm seeing very similar things around my WAC number. I am also November 7th but strangely, I don't see any ending in 83 near me, so you're not in my "watched" group! I have a list of 38 I-129s from Nov 5-Nov 7 (I probably did miss some, manually checking got really tiring after a while!), and of those 38 -- 24 of them have had RFEs or approvals in the last three days, that's 63% already completed. I'm getting REALLY nervous because that's approaching everyone EXCEPT me (only about 8 more before my number that aren't approved yet).

I am so excited, and yet so frustrated when I see so many approvals. So happy for everyone but gah where is mine please please please!!! biggrin.png

My NOA1 date is Nov. 26, and my WAC ends in 285. Pretty much everyone around me has gotten their NOA2 or an RFE. Even up to 20 after me, most have their NOA2. So frustrating!

Also, I called Customer Service 2 days ago, and they told me that as of April they were still working on July 12, even though when I called in March they told me that as of Dec they were working on July 18. And yet, how many early Nov. filers are getting approved? None of this makes any sense. wacko.png

But on a positive note: Congratulations to all those getting approvals!! dancin5hr.gif

Haha I called Monday and they told me first they were working on July. I laughed and they asked the reason. I Said I am a member on visajourney and apparently they are far past July. That it seemed they were on October and beginning November. They said to wait a minute and She confirmed me they were on October. Lol. To wait 30 days and if I hear nothing to call back. Even though their vsc website says processing time is 5 months. Everything they give us is wrong information.

Ahhh! I'm literally checking case status every 5 minutes - going crazy. My NOA1 is 16 November and I've been seeing the first approvals and RFEs around my case number today. 99449, 99496, 99508 all approved today. It's so frustrating feeling like we're so close and knowing that nothing will be touched over the weekend!!
