CSC Approvals This Week

[Andreea&Kevin 38]

17 so far today here on VJ. I'm simply in shock... in a good way. I hope it stays like this and they focus more on July & August.

Yup I hear you! Nowhere near enough July/August approved yet. But the speed is good. Maybe July/August have a chance over the next couple of weeks.

They are getting back on track, finally !!

Congrats to everyone who got approved those past couple days.

Thanks to everyone who helped and came together into complaining to USCIS administration, representatives, media or CIS ombudsman about this unfairness that we've experienced those past 5/6 months. It seems that VSC is now becoming the snail, i wish both service centers could work properly on our "lives"

As far as i am concerned still no NOA2 or RFE but i have been checking other receipt numbers on USCIS website and almost half of the receipt numbers received the same day as me have had their approval or RFE YESTERDAY . Do you think i will get mine within a day or 2? If i have my approval today or tomorrow it will match the 30 days my congressman told me.

[Q&R 1]

I am just a mixed bag of emotions...don't know if I should cry or be happy.

Aug 15th since NOA1.........maybe cry

[JBForever 12]

See it? I will be that happy you will be able to hear it

thats intensely funny but i wont blame you...i think id be the same way once our approval arrives. here is praying for all of us july, aug, sept and oct filers receiving our elusive approvals soon

[JBForever 12]

More in 2 days than there were every week since December.

Lol this is not a stupid question don't worry i didn't know about it either until i joined VJ.

So you have your receipt number on your NOA1, you go check your status on the uscis website. Let's say your receipt numbers end in 536... you'll check the numbers up and down (535, 534 and so on....) until you see it is a different petition than I129f. You'll be able to see the status of those petitions, received the same day as your.

I hope I'll receive an approval in the next few days or weeks... I am an October filer. It's been long overdue. All of us miss our partners already. Huhu.. Anyway, good luck to all of us guys!

42 approvals so far this week (04/15 through 04/17) for CSC; is that some kind of record?

I think they approve applications that are perfect or front loaded first.

Yes i think CSC filers' actions are starting to pay off. Finally. I think all july/august filers will have their approval very soon if it keeps going this way.

Visa journey timelines only represent but a small fraction of the actual applications. Some people may not be updating their timelines regularly.

What do you mean by that? Because most of the receipts got RFE, only 2 or 3 approvals for 5 or 6 RFEs. I am expecting a RFE anyway but well.
