I-129F April 2016 Filers

[Delirium 114]

Approved. Faux pas we overlooked, that they gave us a pass on:

- No TOS for online site where we met (maybe since we gave the name of the site, and specified in our letters of intent that it was a dating site, that was all they really needed)

- Didn't copy the back side of the birth certificates. I understand, after the fact, that this is an instruction.

Our approval came at 9:30 PM, eastern time. The USCIS android app sent me the initial message. On the USCIS account log in, the last touched date updated from 4/11 to 7/1. I checked it throughout the day, so I know this date didn't update until recently, tonight.

I wasn't expecting the message to come at 9:30, and was half expecting I'd only know by checking it myself after reading how others found out, so FYI for all of you still waiting.

Congrats! :D I feel like I was given a pass as well. I forgot to include the TOS of the site we met on, and I forgot to write our names on the back of the passport photos (as well as left my photo uncut because I was scared I was going to mess it up lol). I guess it's just the luck of the draw. I was expecting an RFE for sure!

It's up to the officer adjudicating your case. I was lucky as well they didn't request the tos or any more info on how we first met and we only used the 2(or3?) lines on the form, without attaching anything.

Just run with the approval now, they can't take it back! Lol

Oh I am! This NOA2 is mine...my own...

[angie33 10]

Congrats everyone!!!

Cases around mine got approved or got RFE since June 30. I'm hoping to hear something next week ??

[cricketman 22]

We had some good rates this week

Feb is almost at 80% (without deletions) and March is at 63%.

April started off the week at 26% and ended at 42.8% which is about 55 NOA2s at 10.5 per day

I am now including a separate columns for accounts that have been deleted and they haven't given a NOA 2 date

Quick question: is this weekly stat still useful to y'all or just adding more stress ?

We are one of the April 28 filers..... Patiently waiting but so frustrating and on top of it all, I'm having to move at the same time. Happy for everyone who has received their NOA2's already. I'm assuming (hoping & praying) we get approved this week.

I think the chart is great! Thank you for taking the time to put it together

[SparkyCaliluv 25]

Good morning and congrats to all the April NOA2 recipients this week! Cricketman, I find your weekly totals very helpful and I thank you for taking the time to post it each week.

Also for my fellow end of April filers, according to the USCIS app, the case number right before mine as well as the case 3 spots ahead of mine were approved yesterday. We all had April 25 received dates. So, hopefully that brings some encouragement about hearing something soon. In the meantime, have a great weekend and a nice 4th of July.

We had some good rates this week

Feb is almost at 80% (without deletions) and March is at 63%.

April started off the week at 26% and ended at 42.8% which is about 55 NOA2s at 10.5 per day

I am now including a separate columns for accounts that have been deleted and they haven't given a NOA 2 date

Quick question: is this weekly stat still useful to y'all or just adding more stress ?

[Delirium 114]

Once we get over the long weekend, the USCIS will be handing out NOA2's like candy

[cricketman 22]

Thanks guys no trouble at all. This is a stressful process as it is so I was wondering if the numbers/stats add to that pressure. I will continue to post them on a weekly basis.

Have a fun & safe long weekend !!

[jeessgb 57]

I'm in San Diego for the weekend.

Gonna see the fireworks from my fiancé's boat. Already got my matching US flag shorts very ad hoc... Gotta blend in. Lol

Happy 4th of July everyone !!

useful definitely... question about the case numbers: how do they manage case numbers when there are more than 999-1000 processed in one day? I am able to pull 999 per day, but not sure if I'm excluding some data

edit: nvm, looks like you are using VJ data. I thought this was from the case tracker on their website!

For those wondering how long it takes to get the hard copy. I live in Seattle, got approved on monday June 27 and received my hard copy NOA2 on Saturday July 2.

While I am very happy to have an approved petition, my happiness is tempered knowing how many are still waiting. My heart goes out to those people who haven't received an approval notice yet. Have faith. It will happen.

So 5 days to WA. Once I get my hard copy I'll post how long it takes to get within CA probably not that helpful considering I live in the same state as the CSC, but it would make for an interesting statistic!
