I just ran a scan on the app..Sad to say, we got an RFE coming in the mail Hopefully it's something that is easy to fix. Asking for your prayers my fellow March filers 🙏🏽

What's the name of the app?

Will probally have a change of plans as well. 

We considered to go to the interview together and had a week of time to spend since our last meeting in early February.

But all this possible only if the interview will be scheduled until September.

Looks like not meant to happen - no noa2 as of today. 

Sigh 😔 

Yeah it's so frustrating, I know the feeling. I broke down and am sending a letter to my senator. I know people with dates before me are still waiting and I haven't been waiting THAT long in comparison to others, but I figure it couldn't hurt to at least try to get my senator involved. It's just so irritating to be in the dark. If we at least knew petitions were processed in order and there was some kind of reliable update system on the status then it would be easier to deal with and plan around. Hopefully things speed up and work out for both of us though! fingers crossed!

How do I even go about changing it like who do I contact? 

I think he was only able to do it once it reached the (wrong) embassy but it was awhile ago that I read this, so I might be wrong.

How do you get this?

Spend some time browsing on this site, you will be surprised how much you can find.  The search function at the top right corner is amazing how it will find subject matter, and like circumstance.  

 

Here's the link - use the filters at the bottom of the page to look at different views.

If i should believe the  Updates from March  then they are working on cases   21 st and  22    so  you should be   getting  news  soon.

There's our NOA2 in the pic, and it has notice date from 3 weeks ago.
I have doubts people are updating their timelines right, or at all. 
Can't be correct there's no approval since then, unless the weird case happened and only non-VJers got approved.

But so many cases of people not receiving their NOA2, also reporting that here, maybe the person reviewing our box is really slow lol

I would contact him again or her. Just keep fighting. It Is hard for me not to get disappointed when I see someone else getting approved after my NOA1 it really sucks and it is not fair. All cases are suppose to be handled in the order they are received and if they are you should know why your case is still pending action by now. But they aren't and that's why something needs to be done.

How do you get this? I am March 16th and have not received a NOA2 or RFE or anything. It is #######.

Unfortunately some countries are slower than others . I hope you get some news soon. I know It's not fair.

Yeah I know.
But you gotta think, there's about 4000 petitions for March, how many people are active on here, active in the March thread? A tiny bit... so to me it seems - unless all of USCIS laid down work - like it does a loop around our sweet people here.
Or ... and I hope it's not, but it's what filers have to consider: Processing time went back to "normal" = 5 months according to USCIS. 
Someone wrote on another thread: "Be ready for 5 months, be happy if it's 3".

Something is weird. I'm so sorry for all those who are waiting for so long.

[Marzena & Stephen 544]

ALL - I wouldn't rely on the "timeline" first off some people don't update theirs, second some people update theirs wrong, third not everyone who applied for a K1 visa is on this website (huge amount are not) and 4th some people expedite their K1 visa application (marines/military etc) are you are also compared to those people.. so in my mind its nice to see they touched march but I wouldn't expect anything in regards to the dates.. I am already 2 weeks past the "expected timeline date" for NOA2.    This site would be great if they separated expedited cases with regular cases.

 

 @BlackBirdRN  I would not worry too much about getting and RFE - at least you know they touched your case! it looks like a lot of people are getting approved pretty quick after RFE! goodluck! let us know what RFE you got ! keep us in the loop

I might be wrong but I think one person get like 20 cases to work on. And if they started on a big case it take them a while till next so the other cases just stay there.... waiting..where someone else already went through like 10 cases.. that's why you sometimes get the date gaps.... it's a silly way but I know from admin work that it's done like that..

I think they share workloads from an article I read on here.. I don't think that the petitions sit on one persons desk and if they are off work they don't get touched. But I agree something is super bizarre.. either they are updating their system or not working on new petitions until they have old ones completed.. or maybe back ground checks are taking longer than normal.... or maybe with the USA economy a lot more applied than we think!

apparently it only takes 15 min to review a case.. so if you work in an 8 hr day you think it would go a bit faster

I saw that article as well, and I totally agree with what you posted up there.

I tried to express that people shouldn't rely too much on the timeline here, because only a tiny bit of these around 4000 petitions are members here AND update their timelines.
(I checked my timeline as well... like freak in a hamster wheel! ) 

And that to me it seems - why ever in this world - USCIS probably accidentally loops around most people here, while many, many others are approved at the same time. Call it bad luck, or whatever. But the loop must end and approvals must drop in here again!

They should outsource that to us.
