Think we have it bad? 

Think again.

Non-muslim country, petitioner has clean record and still nearly 8 months from NOA 1 to approval as of Yesterday.

Congrats to them finally.

*Keep in mind I'm only counting WACs from WAC1790048000 onward. Records untouched prior to this are not included.*

The first thing i do now in the mornings is check your report.  This is giving my heart such hope.  Those figures keep going up!  I'm sending lots of positive vibes to CSC to keep it 'up'...

 

Thank you geowrian!

Guys, I just want to say that I really love our thread; it is so nice not to be alone in this. I woke up to about 100 new posts on here about two hours ago (I'm the beneficiary), and it's nice to see so many people having each other's back and offering hope and solace to each other. Welcome to those of you who are new here, and thanks to everybody running searches on one of the USCIS apps, especially Geowrian, your stats are a blessing; thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to share these with us. 

 

Meanwhile, I've just run mine, so here goes for WAC1790044500 to WAC1790052999, and it looks a lot better than in the past two weeks. Compared to yesterday, we have 34 more approvals, while the amount of RFEs stayed the same (doesn't mean that they didn't send out more RFEs though). All in all, out of the 838 K1-petitions in that sample, there are now 334 approvals, 54 rejections, 124 RFEs, and 327 unworked / other cases. Yay, for the first time, there are more approvals than unworked. If they could keep up the 34 cases they work on a day for that batch, all cases should be processed in about two weeks (10 working days and wishful thinking, but still).

For me personally, this search was special because our petition is in the last 500-batch (52500-52999), and for about two months, there was zero activity for that batch, while the figures for "unworked / other" are now starting to go down. Cheers to that, and to more such "efficiency".

JSWH,,haha..thanks.

Hey you are almost at 10 days since approval

You might want to call NVC this Friday just go through the motions.

Who knows your case might be there already.

 

Jim

 

We plan on calling NVC two weeks after NOA2 date, so next week. Meanwhile, I am working on preparation for my medical exam, need to renew some vaccination. 

[EmJon 6]

Getting stressed now ? Filed October 31st and still no answer, especially as people filing after us are getting their NOA2 now.... sorry to moan!

Thank you!

I am self-employed but I do rent a room in a clinic.  

I don't have any children or pets but my partner does, which is why he can't come here nearly as freely as I can go there.  As well, being self-employed, I can take off whatever time I like.  He does not have that freedom.

My apartment is month to month as I've lived here for over 8 years and the original lease has long ago finished and switched to month-to-month.

All of this makes visiting very easy for me but it also looks like I don't have any real ties here to force me to return.  

 

Amye, I want to encourage you to visit your fiance. Mine lives in Houston too, and I did visit him in Houston in November, a month after we sent our petition. I am also self-employed, and my only daughter is in the USA studying in college. Imagine, how illusional my "ties" must be in the eyes of CBP. Going through passport control was easy-breezy, as almost always in IAH. The CBP officer looked at my return ticket and asked me what was the purpose of my visit. I said I was visiting my fiance. He said, but you left like only a month ago  (I was in Houston in September). I replied that "for a normal person a month is a short time, but for someone in love and separated from their loved one it feels like eternity". He smiled at me and stamped my passport. 

You might want to look through this thread 

It's too long and old to read it all, you can limit yourself to the last 10-20 pages. It helped me to be prepared. I brought along the copy of our NOA1, a letter from my fiance explaining that we are not going to get married on visitor visa or violate the immigration laws in any other way, printed out my non-refundable return ticket. None of it, except the ticket, was needed but I had peace of mind.

I'm tracking you and others for NVC time frames.

Do you have a date in mind yet to start calling?

 

Jim

I know im a teacher but plllease disregard my typos and incorrect spelling.... i know how to spell and write correctly of course they make u pass a series of tests to teach but on social media i never reread anything and i type like a crazy person without thought...and some times i go back and reread like omg what did i just type..for example how i spelled reject! Never capitalizing ..any who... i was thinking of calling them on jan 30th. But i finally got a text message this morning that my case had been approved... so maybe theres a number. Anyways dont wanna stress myself calling..so i may just wait til monday.

[Art786 275]

Seems to me that one day of petitions takes more than a week to process. So I am about 15 weeks away or so. Any thought on my estimate?  

[Art786 275]

At this moment I am 49 years old, and way this is going I may need a nurse instead off wife. Hopefully, she will be ok with that.
