I don't understand it's like they put all the files from the beginning of July on one desk and that person must be on vacation for a lot of us I really am worried . so many approval but not a word from mine

I feel like I'm not living my life is on hold

We didn't get a email notice which we registered on the USCIS site, but we didn't do the Other form G1185 I think.

In my view due to the differences in filing dates and some approvals earlier than others with a later filing date, it can only come down to the fact that files are placed in order with individual officers and some are quicker being that they're either fast at approvals or in those files there is either a really large file or they have to research the petition more slowing it for others in the waiting list.

I guess I am speculating again but it's a good thing to waste time

I'm starting to worry a bit but I know our NOA2 will soon come. NOA1 July 12. Then I created an account online, last update for our case is July 12. Lol

Sigh... I need a lot of motivation people! ???

We just got our NOA2!!! So happy!!

We had to make sure we'd get it after August 23rd because my two-year home country residence rule will end December 23rd. So it was the perfect timing!! We couldn't be happier!

NOA1: 19/07

NOA2: 30/08

Congrats!!!!! One more approval, I hope they go more and more and faster

I feel exactly the same way, E&J. I am happy for everyone who has their NOA2 so far, but it's starting to feel as if we're being left behind. I have to remind myself that I wasn't anticipating an approval until the first week of September anyway, so to get it last week when approvals were really picking up for July, or this week as the trend continues, would be amazing. But the first week of September would be right on time with my estimations. Also, when I sort Immigration Timelines by NOA1 dates and look at the first full page for the beginning of July, out of 40 rows, only 12 have their approvals (as of last night), so that's also comforting to know that we're with the majority of those still waiting. We just have to hang in there. Our approvals are coming, but like you and many others, we're just so eager to have ours so we can begin our life together.

I thought I will be chill with the waiting, WRONG! trying to check the app at least 4 times a day, pouting when I see people getting ahead of us... I am happy for them, but hoping it's us too, soon.

[Kat&Jon 85]

Congrats to everyone who got approved!!! They definitely seem to be speeding along again. I guess they got through the H1B backlog they got sent!

Here is to hoping we keep getting updates about more approvals!!!

Smiles, I'm the same way. I'm very happy for everyone who is getting approved and moving forward, but it's a roller coast of feeling until I see something positive. Each time my phone blinks I'm hoping its a text/email about an approval. I may end up with heart palpitations with how much it goes up and down just waiting.

So I am noticing that approvals happen around 9:30-10pm central time (H-TOWN TIME) . Has anyone heard of it coming, earlier in the day. I'm still waiting for My green approval status. I guess I'm anxious but trying to enjoy the journey of anxiety. This is painful but still a memberable journey, so I take it as such. Remember we are blessed to have fiances to yearn for. I remember my single days, yikes, now that was painful lol. Be blessed to even be at this point. Try to stay thankful.

Thanks a bunch Tasha. I love the uplifting of everyone's spirits. ? By the way, I checked my status at 9.29 CST and it wasn't approved but I rechecked at exactly 9.30pm CST and there it was- approved! I just got a text message from the government also, but it was 31mins late (at 10.01pm CST). So I guess the text still comes after all. Just haven't seen an email notification which most of us also signed up for. Either way, the app and the government website works the fastest and concurrently.

I woke up this morning and the email notification of approval finally came. So just an FYI for those who signed up for the email and text notifications. They do come through but not as fast as the USCIS apps or the USCIS website "check my case" portal. Good luck everyone. They update at 9.30pm for sure but I read in the June filers forum about something like between 4-5pm CST for RFEs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So true, thankful for having my beloved in my life, thankful for experimenting such an amazing feeling! It's happiness and kinda painful to wait yet it's feeling love and feeling being loved, it's also feeling this important person stays with me and waits with me feeling the same ups and downs waiting. Thank you, God, Destiny, Fate for putting us together and giving us the opportunity to share such a big unconditional love, the possibility to start totally new live giving and receiving, learning another culture and so much happiness the day which will come, the day to be together and to start our life together
