Slower day today. Not horrible (118 touched cases isn't bad at all), but not as good as the rest of this week. I'll excuse it.

Thanks for the daily update Geo! It helps a lot for us who are waiting. I would just like to ask will you still continue the daily updates from Dec 6 onwards? Thank you ?

I'll shift the list forward once we get closer to Dec.

Yehey! It will still be a long wait for us since our received date was 21Dec. Thank you.

Thank u Geo for the daily medicine u provide us who are still waiting. Congs to all those that got approved today, still praying for u @JimJesDuma, and I must commend u for being very strong. It has been just a few times when I have seen u sound a little beaten down, but u have remained so strong most of the time even as people who found u on this thread get approved and move on. We love u Jim

We massively appreciate your work. Forgive me if you've answered this prior (newer visitor), but did you create the script yourself? Do you have plans to keep using it, or transfer ownership of it, once you've progressed with your own case? It's a great tool that the site could really benefit from permanently. Thank you again!!

Hello ...

 

Finally after 137 days I got approved ... a suggestion on who has been waiting since October like me : my fiancé called them yesterday at CSC and they told them that we would have to wait at least one more month but they will also put a note in the system to check what happened with our application ... magically after few hours approved ! I think they suddenly realized that they forgot about us ahahahaha ....

That is amazing! Congratulations

a note to all those of you still waiting and feeling a little despondent right now...

 

Don't change your plans - the cases are moving. Random dates are joining the approved list every day. 

If your case has been waiting since October then maybe calling the CSC would be helpful (as per the post above). 

 

If you are a November case, then hang on in there!  It coud be today, it could be tomorrow - give yourself a time frame.  It's probably reasonable to consider allowing to the end of February.  Whilst that seems a long way off at the moment, things move really quickly after that.  Two weeks from NOA2 you should have your case number for the embassy - then you can schedule the medical and visa interview.  This can be completed in as little as a month and not more than three months. 

 

Whilst you are waiting, get prepared for the next stage of the process so that you don't have any hold-ups.  The petitioner should compile the financial paperwork necessary - the i-134 and supporting evidence - (and post it to your fiance/e) and the beneficiary can organise the police report and any medical documentation needed for the medical exam (get vaccinations if they are not included in the cost of your medical). You can also both complete the information needed for the DS-160 for the beneficiary to file.

 

This means that once you get your case number, everything else will be ready to go.  You can schedule your medical (which is available really quickly in some places) and complete your indication of readiness and schedule your interview.  It could be just a few weeks after the NOA2 if you are prepared to move quickly.

 

Don't give up! Even if your NOA2 doesn't arrive until the end of February - you could still be together by Easter!

 

We won't.  I have to wait for my son to finish High School before I can go - and his final exam isn't until 28th June - but Aaron is coming over to visit in May so it will make the wait a little more bearable - longest we have ever been apart...

 

Anyway - hang in there - and be prepared!

This was a very welcomed and uplifting read! I'm a January filer, so I know there's a long wait for me, but I've been following this forum for Geo's incredibly helpful updates and to see how things are moving along. I have to say... this November group is great. It's so nice to see everyone supporting each other and rooting for each other, especially when you've all had to endure that awful stretch of time when there was NO ACTIVITY AT ALL at CSC. I'm really glad things are moving, obviously for my own selfish reasons (haha), but also for you guys who have been waiting much longer than me, and helping each other through the disappointment of no movement.

 

You guys are a really helpful and supportive group, and I wish everyone the best of luck over the coming days and weeks. Especially Jim, who I really hope gets his NOA2 very soon!

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I received the alert from USCIS. I was so excited, only to find out it was a service alert. When I look at my app, everyone's case around ours is updated. When you call them USCIS they are very hmmmm condescending and a little brash. I am excited for those of you who are approved. In my mind when I started this journey, it only would be a few months, like 3 lol. Now............My question. When would approvals come on in EST?

[Chi&Clint 203]

Hey guys, the last call: our facebook group for K1 November filers will be set to secret very soon (to protect your informations), join us now hehehe. Welcome everybody!!!

It varies, but roughly 9-10 PM EST is when they usually start flooding in.

No problem! Yes, I created the script (with the help of some open libraries). I've provided the scripts to about 5 other individuals who have requested it for Dec. and January filers. I'm about 90% of the way through scanning for the I-129Fs in December, which is the last piece necessary before the scripts are usable for Dec. filers.
