I-129F November 2016 Filers

[amye 158]

I notice line 1089 was approved.  I'm 1107 and our case was received on 11/28.  Wonder what happened there.

[Scott P 11]

Yeah I'm not sure exactly in what order they process these but looking at that list and our case, it looks like there about 1,000 cases ahead of ours.  If they're doing something like 50-70/day then we *should* be between 16-25 days away from NOA2.  #fingerscrossed

And just before us 10/31ers..cases jist a weeke b4  they were gettin approvals within 35 days. So for 2 months i worked on bettering myself and distracting myself. I became more organized.... i lost 20 lbs..... which is about 30 since ive seen my fiance... and 70 in a year and a half..... i had fun! Then i looked up like #######! 70 days and my case still hasnt even. BEen touched!.... please use my advice and just go be productive for a month or two... estimate when u should hear someting... then double it beforeu panic. Receive date 10/31.... estimated approval date was dec 3rd ....and panic date was january 6th because  i was a month overdue. If u were received after nov 20th. Dont stress yourself until march 20th because they have to catch up.... so sit back and get busy...have fun and be productive... if u read this thread u can see i was hopeful at first and the closer i got to my approval the more worried i became. Please do urself the favor and avoid checking ur case every single day 10 times a day. Unless ur date is like 2 weeks away from approved cases.

Excellent post. So do a K-1 and lose a Ton! LOL

I would like to congratulate Nov 14th NOA1 filers with unheard of spike of activity on our cases today - 1 RFE  

(by a contrast of a complete standstill over the past 2 weeks) 

  Reveal hidden contents

Congrats to a couple with RFE! You're now much closer to NOA2 than most of us. 

, well it's a start.

UUUGGGGG 

This is just insane what the ####  are they doing?  is it a post Martin Luther King clean up party at CSC or something.

5,000 case and they approved only 30? 

They should have 30 just for 10/31

More RFE's than approvals something is up.

 

Very disappointing.

Thanks for the update though.

On the plus side, they've touched more apps today than any day in the past month. RFEs are usually much quicker than the initial wait, too.

I assume when they cases get there, they must have some kind of sorting algorithm they go through.  Like, the ones that are missing obvious things get put in one pile and processed in a batch.  Maybe (just guessing) the ones they suspect might need RFEs are put in another stack and perhaps someone got to that stack today?  I'm not sure, it's only a guess, because it doesn't otherwise make a lot of sense that processing 70 or so a day you'd see such a huge variation in the ratio of approvals to RFEs. 

[JimJesDuma 472]

10/31 receipt date

27 RFE's

and 

3 approvals today 1/26.

I've been tracking before those WACs for October 27th/28th

 

4 Approved today

21 RFE or Untouched Still

 

It looks like they are trying to clear the October Dates so I don't think it was a slow down. In fact it's sped up today on my small subset.

Thanks for tracking these too! I'd do it as well but I'm at the 5k record IP ban limit, and don't want to have to alternate server IPs again.

Glad to find someone passed and frustrated as myself  .Good job on your weight I would probably be dead if I lost 20 lbs. Reality is that we are for a few more months of waiting. I was actually excited for first few weeks, now : it is what it is can not do anything about it. Trump entertains me a bit, as this post makes me realize that I'm not alone in this. My relationship is in good shape. Taiwan trips are about 2 grand  for two weeks, so not to bad. Actually is cheaper going there than to Europe. People here looking for some kind of comfort and answers and knowing that all of us are in same box makes us feel better ,I think. I spend five years alone,and avery day was the same, from burden learned salsa, now ad least have something to look forward to. Did all, or most, never looked back , everything from now on is just icing on a cake. Never learned to spell.

On another thought all those rfe s are very bad, it will delay further processing.It will take a lot of time away from processing new files.  Hope I don't get one.
