Well .... 6 out of 10 were for spouses from the Philippines and of those more than half (or 3/4; too frustrated to look at the numbers too closely) filed in May or afterwards. Good for those from the Philippines but no fun for me.

LoveMyTico, I know you wanted to be updated re: my I-129f for the K-3.....oddly enough I just got an email for that form stating my A# has been changed relating to my I-129f and according to the USCIS site it has gone back into "initial review". huh.png The I-130 is still showing as post-decision activity and still approved.

Maybe that means they are about to cancel it? I dunno. There is no rhyme or reason to USCIS. I just want my file to be merrily on its way to NVC and to leave the chaos of USCIS behind......for a whole new brand of chaos.

Congrats to everyone else that has been approved!

My A# was changed on my 129f about 2 weeks before I got approved. Today I recieved and email that my 130 was shipped to the NVC. But I didn't get one stating the 129f was shipped. I checked the USCIS website and both the petitions were in the post decision activity stage. Maybe they only ship one to the NVC? Who knows?

I think the formula for calculating % of those who reported transfer with NOA2 is wrong in the April transfers spreadsheet. It divides NOA2s by pending cases instead of dividing NOA2s by the total transfer population. I tried to change it but the formulas are locked. Is there someone out there who can change it?
