Our 6 month wait is getting close. Filed November 10, 2014

I was told its normal to have 6 months wait, plus- minus..

The web site has not updated since February. Sounds like there have been k-1 approvals. Also sounds like a back log. Let's keep waiting.

Thank you for this thread! While its lovely to see all CSC people getting approved, its a bit annoying to know we'll be waiting for our NOA2 around April-May unless some miracle happens! -1 month dow

I'm glad you said this out loud lol It makes me sad seeing the CSC approvals when I know ours will take forever but I love the November board

I've heard this rumor as well, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I'm only going to assume that things will speed up in January only because the holidays are over and most federal employees will

No, you have to actively fill it out in your timeline for each step.

Are you sure about that?

We did not put any date in part or step.

Below is a timeline with dates of July 23, 2015 and July 31 2015*. This is what I am asking about. Who decides this date and how is it placed on our timeline? It is not info. that we actively fill out.

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between July 23, 2015 and July 31, 2015*.

If this date range has passed or your application is past due per USCIS processing times then you should consider calling the USCIS to inquire on your petition. If you have been approved please update your timeline.

Got it. Ok. Kind of what I figured.

I am new on site and looking at timeline and dates. I see it very unorganized and many people with different answers. I think we will all get there...

Yeah because the lockbox is in Dallas, people get confused of whether they are at California or Texas Service Centre which messes the statistics up a bit. It seems to not be a bad estimate though, they've started October (although some sept's and Julys are still in process) so one can only hope with fingers crossed!

Welcome to the site though! I've found this place to be really helpful on the journey!

Yes, can be easily confusing for some. Our paper work went directly to TSC and the NOA1 came from that facility also.
