Congratulations to you guys and all those approved this week! Wow louisei, what a nice and surprising way for you to start your weekend!

Alright, stats for this week

We saw about 13 NOA2s per day.....really a challenge keeping track of down ticks since people are still adding timelines to April, from next week Ill just keep a track of percentage movements.

Right now April is sitting at 23.5% which is really impressive considering the first NOA2s for April came around 6/16...i.e. just 9 days ago.

March is sitting at 63% while Feb is at 77%. I would say both March and Feb are at much higher completion than what we have here because of inactive and deleted users.

Have a good weekend everyone !!!

Thank you cricketman for the update. The numbers look good this week.

Good to see the rain of approvals yesterday and today for april filers.

I just successfully signed up on uscis site and check my case, its a bit weird.

My i129f was sent on 04/ 16, received 18 and noa1 text on 20. But the site shows last updated was on 04/28

Just wonder what did they update on this date?

Any clue guys?

yeah, good question....could be just about anything: initial entry, minor field correction, etc. My guess is that it probably just reflects when your regional service center data was synchronized with some sort of master USCIS portal system. (I deal with stuff like that all the time with synchronizing distributed processing centers with a central/master database. It can be a challenge for well-designed commercial systems, and who knows what kind of low-bid system the USCIS built or bought! lol)

btw, same as SparkyCaliluv, my petiition was received on 4/25, and the UCSIS case tracking system 'last updated' field also shows 5/02

my advise would be to *try* not to stress about it (good luck with that, right!? pins and needles, I know!), and take heart that you will have your NOA2 really soon now!!

best wishes :)

It means you got a soft update - meaning your case Was touched in some way. Maybe moved desks, scanned for something. Mine was last touched on May 2 - still praying should have it in two weeks ???? hoping for sooner ?

It might be true, hope our noa2 r on the way. Happy weekends everyone

I am not sure but if I had to guess, maybe it is the date the hard copy of your I129f was received at the CSC. I received my NOA1 text on 4/28 but the website shows my case was last updated 5/2, which just also happens to be the date I received the NOA1 hard copy in the mail. It was postmarked 4/29. I just figured that 5/2 is when CSC received my petition from Texas. This is all just a guess though as I see you have a bigger time gap between the text and the update but I hope it helps. Good luck and may you soon receive your NOA2.☺

Same NOA1 date as mine

Well, case # was received June 6th which was about 20 days after NOA2. Hard copy of NOA2, can't remember how long after but it was pretty quick since I live in Los Angeles.
