I checked on our case just out of pure excitement.. only to be disappointed of course.

It makes me feel a tiny bit bad though, for those early August filers still waiting.. it almost seems like they are working backwards.

Last year there were just under 50,000 I-129fs filed. So yes, we are only seeing a fraction of the total petitions here but I have no reason to believe what we see here isn't a representative sample of the total population of petitions.

I do absutely agree with the thought that a lot of people join and create a timeline but stop using the site and never complete the TL. I discount these numbers when I look at igors list by just realizing that for that reason we will never see 100% approval. I generally consider a month complete when igors list shows 75-80% approved for TSC. CSC get higher approval percentages, I think, because their times are so much shorter that people hang around vj to see it through. Whereas at TSC life happens while waiting and people forget about the site while they're waiting and never come back.

There appears to be a genuine non Filipino TSC approval on Igors list which was filed in Dec 14???

The beneficiary is from the Ukraine and their state is VA....... Slightly confused by this!

There are some more September filers approved though, that is a bit encouraging. I had not anticipated them actually looking at September until next month... though I still cannot figure out why early August hasn't been touched in favour of late August.

Praying they get to us all soon. My guy is going a bit batty at work and just wants this nightmare to be over. I went for my final dress fitting last week.. having not put it on in several months and not knowing when I will wear it again, brought tears to my eyes thinking about it all.

I still cannot figure out why early August hasn't been touched in favour of late August.

The million dollar question to which none of us will ever have the answer :(

. My guy is going a bit batty at work and just wants this nightmare to be over. I went for my final dress fitting last week.. having not put it on in several months and not knowing when I will wear it again, brought tears to my eyes thinking about it all.

I think most of us at TSC join you in wishing an end to this nightmare.

I found my dream wedding dress. Exactly what I wanted. Perfect. Made to fit. Perfect. It's sitting in a bag to protect it from dust right now. A few months ago wedding planning was so exciting it was almost surreal how everything I wanted was all laid out in front of me. Somewhere during this wait, everything has been thrown into perspective. I don't give a $hit about the dress or anything else anymore. All I want is to be with the man I love and be able to get married and live our lives together. All those plans, once so magical, now seem superficial against the backdrop of this wait. I HATE USCIS. I can't post on here what I think about the orgnanization, because apparently it's a family friendly forum. What a wonderful, welcoming introduction for the beneficiary, to the US government.
