[Clawren86 5]

After 189 days we finally received our approval last night July 27, 2015!!! Hallelujah!!!! We are finally leaving the TSC. Please everyone rejoice with me and for those still waiting please hang in there because you are not alone and it will soon happen. Thank you to all the members on Visa Journey for all your input, advice and encouragement!

Wow congratulations! I know it must feel like a giant weight is off your shoulders. Hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly.

Hey all, January 22nd NOA1 one here. Been on here for the past 7 months but haven't posted anything yet...the past couple of weeks have started getting really really rough seeing everyone else get trough. Even on the USCIS case tracking app everyone around our receipt number has been approved or RFEd and nothin here:(

Just needing to vent a bit I guess...really frustrated at the system today. Sigh

Hi! I'm a January 20th filer and nothing yet so hang in there. I know it is really frustrating.

Thanks very much to rachel&david, Squamish and StephanieC for your helpful comments.
Today I downloaded the consent form from my US Congressman's website and I'm going to ask that his office intervene on our behalf. I know inquiries from Congressional staffers might have limited impact, but it's worth it at this point. Nothing to lose.

Thanks again for taking the time to give me your helpful thoughts and guidance. I really appreciate it.

Hey Eric! I am a January 13th filer and still haven't heard!:/

Congrats again to all those who received their approvals.

We are January 13 NOA1. No Approval nor RFE for us.

Is there anyone here left in the mid-January time frame who has not had thei case acted upon? I ask only to try to determine when I should contact my Congressman and ask him to intervene to determine what happened to us.

If anyone has any opinions....how much longer should I wait? (I don't want to involve my Congressman until something is really wrong.) I just don't know what to do.

Jan 28 Filer and just need a quick place to get it all out...

Hired a lawyer because I wanted to know for sure I'd done everything possible to bring my love here. Worst idea ever. She's done nothing at all but collect her money.

Went to see him for a couple of weeks in June/July.... Right when Jan filers first started hearing. He's amazing and I'm so in love. Came back pregnant! Joy and happiness and even more anxiety to get him here ASAP.

Yesterday was exactly 6 months from filing. Yesterday I was told I'm having a miscarriage. Today I'm looking for the strength to get up and have hope that today will be the day.

Someone already said how much each morning is filled with hope only to have each night after 11pm be filled with sadness.

Yesterday I found myself looking for jobs abroad. Anywhere. Other countries CANT do this to their citizens,right?! Make them wait for months and lie to them?!

I believe in God. I'm praying but it's just hard. Thought waiting 6 months was the hard part.... Nope. It's what is hopefully the final days.

My thoughts are with all of those who filed before me. Hope today is your day! Thanks to those who post on here. I lurk,read, laugh, and curse with you all. Love is amazing and gives us strength.

I'm so sorry! Hang in there. It looks like they're averaging approvals in the 190's day mark. So you're almost there. I'd say you guys will more than likely hear something within the next two weeks. And it's amazing when you get notified! What a feeling it is!

[ginnyirishrose 16]

I would highly suggest you stay in the United States to bring him here once you go abroad to work it'll be so hard to bring him here you have to prove residency you have to prove you have a job you have to prove so many things that would be a big mistake you just have to wait two more weeks you'll be fine

[ginnyirishrose 16]

I waited 294 days so they are averaging 6 months to 6 & a half month for Texas service center the visajourney timeline is pretty true and accurate they have got it down pretty close within a few days I'm surprised they do such a good job at it

Hundred ninety four days Correction

You're in Florida same as me you'd want to go through immigration in Tampa or Miami somewhere in Florida it's better for you you have better chance of with the interview process here

[ginnyirishrose 16]

Lots of immigrants all over the world come to this state I can't think of a better place to go through immigration they are fair here

[bloopygirl 20]

I think six months-ish is really not bad for a government process like this, it's fairly quick, when you consider the nature of bureaucracy and how many people are applying for US visas. I was expecting it to take longer than it did, to be honest.

NVC received our case. Only took a week to get there from Texas! No more approvals yesterday? Good luck to everyone still waiting. Hope to hear good news from more of you guys soon!

January 5th filing date and finally received NOA2! (July 29th)

Even though I received an email for my NOA1, I never received an email for RFE or NOA2. I check the status on USCIS.gov a few times a day so I just saw it this morning, 7/30

So relieved. Now crossing my fingers that everything else goes quickly. My fiance was able to visit for 6 days a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't nearly enough seeing as how we hadn't seen each other since January! I'm so happy to know that the next time he comes, it will be to stay.

Congrats Sea!
