@Sek Thank for confirming!! I knew I had seen someone recently and I think Angelina, VazPayne and QueenofBlades all had a similar experiences. Of being told to wait 45 or 30 days... Same old response and then POOF Magic Showed up!!

I got that BS response a week ago and then magically POOF... nothing! Still waiting. I don't think it matters if they respond to you or not or whether you put in a request or not. They just do it in a completely random order.

My Congresswoman also inquired about my case and got a BS response a week ago, and still nothing, just waiting.

Here's hope that today is the last day of waiting and approval will come tonight!

Is there a thread or information anywhere for the average turn around time for someone who has be rerouted to another office? Obviously I have noticed there have been some cases rerouted several times - but i am trying to be optimistic and go with the general average.

My partner and I had our NOA1 dated Feb 20 and last week received the email that our petition had been sent to "the local office". Which sounds like it IS NOT local at all (he is in Boston) and rather just another main office!? We originally sent our paperwork to Texas.

I have to admit the whole process is emotionally draining and stressful on both of us. The lack of information provided or the incredibly vague nature of the information that is, is all so frustrating. I am visiting my fiancé in early September for 2 1/2 months and was hoping that our NOA2 would arrive before then so we can work on the next stage physically together and coordinate everything, such as paperwork, consulate visits etc by the time I return to Australia in November. I would like to hope after all these months of (what feels like) our paperwork just sitting in a tray to be processed finally gets somewhere soon in the coming weeks!

Your case was mostly likely transferred to the Texas Service Center. All K1 cases are normally processed at either the Vermont Service Center or the California Service Center. Everyone sends their case to the Dallas lockbox in Texas, but it is immediately forwarded to one of those two centers. Recently, a whole slew of cases were transferred from Vermont to the Texas Service Center (different from Texas lockbox where all the cases are sorted), in two batches. At the end of May, and then on about June 21st. Looks like you were in the second batch. You'll have to wait for the hard copy of the transfer notice to come in the mail to be sure, but that's almost certainly what happened. You can look on here and a couple other forums for people all in the same situation. I'm in the first batch (most people in this thread are), and I was approved last night.... so it took nearly a month after the transfer. I expect if you were in the June 21st transfer, a reasonable estimate would be some time in mid to late July, but please do not take that as advice. Just a rough idea. But hang in there! Texas seems to be pumping them out, so it won't be too much longer now.

Hi everybody! We got our NOA2 Approval notice by email and on USCIS website at 9:31 PM Eastern time, June 26.

NOA1 was Jan 22, so we got it in 5 months, 4 days. We were transferred in the first batch from VSC to TSC on May 30.

So, everyone that didn't get notice yet, just keep hanging in there. It's definitely coming soon. We originally thought ours wasn't coming until August, so I think the transfer was a good thing.

Thank you!

I called 2x but he didn't answer. I don't want to text him the news so I guess I will have to wait till the morning to speak in person. The night is still young and lots of people got the service request standard response today so my fingers are crossed that all of them get good news tonight too!

Good evening y'all! I checked my status one hour ago and we got our approval today! Felt like a huge rock was lifted over my shoulders.. Now on to the next one. Still a lot more work to be done.

Good luck to all the filers who got transferred and still waiting for a decision. Don't forget to pray!

Filing date is December 24, 2012

NOA 2 is June 26, 2013

Last 5 digits are 54150

I didn't get an email or text message alert from USCIS, I just randomly checked to see if I'm one of the lucky USCIS lottery winner of that day.

As soon as I saw the decision a huge smile took over my face, even though I was at work I had to leave for 5 mins and call my fiancé to let her know we got approved. She had just woken up.
