Hi, I'm so happy that I found some Feb fliers so I don't feel so alone in this whole process.

I'm sure it's how we all feel

 

Some January filers told me that we can start looking at NVC preparation while we sit and wait around.

Maybe we should start talking about plans we have apart from sitting at home waiting for the approval for ourselves / our spouse!

 

I'm planning to complete 2 short courses starting from May and it will occupy a good 16 weeks for me

 

Please share!

Oh that sounds great!  Waiting around not being occupied makes the wait feel so much longer. 

 

I work, so that takes up a pretty good chunk of my time but would like to start studying as well.

It's indeed unusual but have you also tracked other cases (put a number from 1 to 200 in the box next to your case number) , what is the result?

For example if you put 10, you will get results of my number and the next 10 case numbers (if my number is ABC12345, i will get results from ABC12345 to ABC12354)

I tried that as well and within 50 cases only 3 did not have validation errors.

That's good I am planning on working and going to visit my husband for a few weeks in June. I also have been looking into planning for NVC and sideloading.

So I just checked my timeline and noticed the estimated approval date went up by 2 weeks. Before it was August 20th something through September 5th and now it's September 1-15. Did anyone else's change?

Mine moved forward by two weeks (March 28th-April 13th). That seems really fast. I hope it's right, but I'm doubting it

I think it should be faster than that! I was reading some other threads those Sep 16' filers said once their case hit 6 months USCIS will have to do something to speed it up and now they got transferred and are getting approved!

Good evening my fellow February Filers, I've taken up a part time job to occupy my time, so I won't be sitting around my place waiting on this process to end quickly so that my baby and I can finally be together...The best part of this waiting period, I will be seeing him in 5 months while in process...So excited!! My suggestion is to pick up a hobby or part time job to keep busy and plus it never hurts to make extra money...

Wow that's a good plan, my husband and i also planning to get very fit while we wait.

I have not felt the desperation yet as he will leave me and head home in 5 weeks but i cannot imagine how it is gonna be for us after...

I think this thing is a little wacky, my original estimated approval date was March 26th - Mar 28th. Now its at Feb 28th -March 16th. ? Which has already passed.

 

I'm not placing much reliance on this though.
