It's weird my receipt number is 1790066234 and it doesnt appear in the list. My noa1 is Nov 14th but I told my fiance I didnt expect too much that our approval date will come soon because if it doesnt and the officer put our case aside I would cry :P

It's in row 1786 of the spreadsheet...?

If you are using an iphone, you have the option to download. (even for android i think) 

then make sure that you click on the 2nd sheet and not the first one. ??

i hope this helps. ?

Hey everyone!  I got my text at 7:30 PST today.  We are APPROVED!!!   Wow can't believe the day has come.   

 

Wasn't paying attention to my phone until I was getting ready to turn in.  Yup. Looks like we are making more progress!  But why haven't some of you before me gotten some notice yet?  Here's to more approvals tomorrow!  Good Luck!

Felicidades forena99!! I hope your fiance gets his passport soon. I had found this information about the medical exam in Cuba, just in case you don't have it yet :)

Haha! Yeah. It's actually addictive to look at the file and the cases. It's overwhelming and exciting when you see the approved ones. 

Hoping to have all november filers be done with February. Would be the best valentines gift. ??

Wow, amazing info.  Thank you!  I did not have any of this info.

This is awesome.  wish I could give you more reputation points. LOL!  :lol:

Looks like there is a hospital in his town (Holguín), so that is good news.

Wow, I better get crackin' on the next steps!

Thanks again, you've been so helpful.

Yes, by the way, he went to get his passport already, couple weeks ago.  Takes 3 weeks for it to be ready, but he stood in line and paid already.  So that is also good news.  

We are on our way, poco a poco.  =)

Gracias!

Found this link online. Our waiting time might be longer comparatively, atleast for a few of us, considering the number of applications USCIS receives. 

 

There were a lot of applications since November owing to the fee hike and President elect "Trump effect". We may have to wait longer but we all surely will be united with our loved ones.

From your attachment seems like February is the slowest month. So things can get even slower. 4.5 months for someone to touch a file.
