Today.. I just came from sad defeat from the championship of my wifes volleyball tournament after 9 straight sweep from different school.  It was aired via television here in the phiippines.  I told them to cheer up bcuz for me they did excellent so we went hang out and celebrate.  We drink moderately and went home like 2AM.  I check my app and it said case status change.... Maybe since im tipsy a lil bit.. I called USCIS and the guy on the other line said our case was approve and congratulate me.  *** UR CASE WAS APPROVED!!!!!!  NOW I KNOW HOW U GUYS FELT.  ITS LIKE WINNING THE LOTTERY!  I can never ask for more.  Im still here in the Philippines with her bcuz i want to support her on her volleyball journey.  They may not win today but God replace her sadness with much more blessings.  

 

Its 3:49Am and i can never sleep.  I kept on checking the app... Hahhaha.  

I can tell you that even though God never answer u yet.  He never fail to surprise us in his own way.  Keep on praying and he will give ur hearts desire.  God bless all of us thats been patienly learned the value of patience.  

 

Good luck to all the people whos still waiting.  *** NEVER LOOSE HOP,  IF U FEEL GOD NEVER ANSWER UR PRAYER... FOR SURE HE WILL SURPRISE U IN A WAY U NEVER KNOW.

I have a question what time of the day do you no you got approved or is it anytime of the day night ? Just wondering 

 

Generally, it can be anytime of the day. With recent trends however, approvals are updated in the USCIS website in the evening around 7-8 PM PST. RFE's are scattered all throughout the day.

They're not getting 300 K-1s a day...at least not in Dec. I've counted about 4300 K-1 petitions sent from Dec 1 - Dec. 31. Of those, only ~4000 were accepted (a lot are rejected right away due to filing or payment issues). The vast majority of those (~3200) are pre-Christmas...~800 were received in a spike between Christmas and New Years. Anyway, that averages to about 129/day (total), or 174/day (weekdays only). While this is still a lot, they're processing close ~150 (give or take 20) per day right now. I haven't checked January or February, but they may have slowed down now as well. Late Oct. and all November were basically just a set of spikes in petitions from what it seems.

 

Hiring more people isn't really a fix off-hand. I imagine it takes at least months to train somebody to the point where they can process applications to a decent level on their own. Not that it's not needed long-term, but I doubt it would affect anybody form Nov, Dec., or even maybe January.

Sorry if someone asked already...but you estimate about 129/174 days for approval to those in Late December?? I just want to estimate so I don't get my hopes up for March or April.... :( I hate this waiting game......it use to take 4 months to have visa in hand and now its taking 4 months to get approved! ... hate it hate it :(

No way. I would say you should have approval sometime in March. It all depends if they keep the current pace, if they speed it up, or if they slow it down probably depends on which part of March you get approved.

I think what they should actually be doing is taking those fat November and December stacks and mixing in newer I-129fs because of the fee hike (people that paid more). But that is just wishful thinking.

Well as of now your still in that estimate range ?. But also remember the timelines on VJ are estimates based on other members input of NOA2 received dates. They aren't tied to USCIS so keep that in mind. The good thing is they have been constantly working cases the past few weeks so your time is coming soon.

I am a January filer here but something that I am kind of curious to know about for statistic purposes is How many total I-129fs were there in November and how many total are in December (im talking how many were received before they started approving/denying/RFE'ing etc)

From Nov. 1 to Nov. 30th, I see around 4,000 K-1s. I see around 4,300 for Dec. That said, there were over 400 on Oct. 31st alone. My data starts into Oct.31st...I never found the front of cases for that date, so I don't know how many really...just that it's >= 400.

No, that's not what I meant. I'm saying they received about 174 petitions per weekday in Dec (129 per day if you count all days). I don't know when exactly you will get your case adjudicated (nobody does), but my guess would be closer to April than March. My case is an early Dec. case, and I don't expect it until sometime in March or maybe later. I'm actually sending more evidence tomorrow (long story...but trying to avoid potential RFEs given so many being issued recently) since I don't expect them to touch my case before that arrives and gets processed.

 

I hate it, too. Yes, it used to take 4 months. Not that long before that, it took a year or longer (checkout the whole DACA thing).

 

Edit: I just noticed you are a Dec. filer too. I thought you were a Jan. filer. In that case, March is still possible.

Well hopefully you do this week. Hard to say because the CSC doesn't process cases in chronological order they tend to jump a bit. Think some people from the 23rd got approved last week ( not sure if any were VJ members ) so some will get lucky and get their case worked on before estimates and some will unfortunately wait longer. Still think there are a couple of October 31st filers still waiting so no one knows when their case will get processed just have to continue to be positive and patient with the wait. We all know it's a pain in the butt to wait on but not much else we can do but wait until we get that magic alert that says "you have been approved"
