Welcome, @sw_lana_ Sorry your ideal plans has not worked, but I have to say you were being uber optimistic there. Well, we can always make a good use of optimistic people around here, just don't let your spirits fall down now. We are getting close for real finally, and you know what everyone says... things speed up after NOA2

 

And another bill here, guys. You have to love Mondays (I actually do) 

 

Hi! I have to admit, positive attitude is my all 😁 I was so naive in the beginning of the game that I expected NOA2 by summer! Anyway, I really do hope we get closer.

And there is also one thing which is worrying me, I know it's a bit stupid question but still... As we all know, Trump is very categorical against immigrants, and like... is it possible that it can affect approvals lately?

That's a big question and a big mystery. I have no idea, honestly, but my big guess is it doesn't affect the majority of the cases, but it might with certain countries Islam related, as they might have been stricter with background checks or whatnots. But no, I don't think that plays much of a role here currently.

See, Spain is a friendly country, but there's one case from here where they have been waiting for already over 170 days. So it all comes down to each particular case and a bit of the luck factor

It's possible, could be a form of protest since time slowed after SC confirmed legality of travel ban. 

I hope not but who knows. We're all friends here, so let's avoid politics whenever possible. Not saying that was intention cause most have thought about it at least in passing.

My NOA1 is April 17.  I am heading back to the Philippines mid-August to spend a couple of weeks with my fiancee.  I was hoping to have my NOA2 by then (actually originally hoping to be further along than that).  Signed up for e-mail and text but if i have to wait for regular mail I may not be home to receive it.  A little discouraged when the processing dates on the USCIS website went backwards from February 15 to January 1.  Don't know what is up with that as now the I-129F date for K-1 visa is showing January 1, 2017 for all servicing centers.  Strange?

Not really strange at all. There seems to be a consistent push-back from the CSC on application inquiries. Consider that the tracker generally works for RFEs. Why would it not work for approvals? Because the data is not being updated for approvals but is for RFEs. The only reason I can see for doing that is it reduces the confirmation of other cases being approved to hearsay and rumor from the forums in the case of inquiries. It removes the ability to prove to a tier 1 officer that more recent cases are being adjudicated. My theory isn't really a criticism of the CSC. I come to it by assuming they're doing their main job of adjudicating applications for visas as expedient as they can. The toughest job there has to be the customer service person telling the heart-sick lovers that their NOA2 will be done when it's done. The applicant certainly doesn't want to hear it. I'm not saying it's the right way to handle it but it is the easiest. Being a government entity, the easy way will win over the right way more than anyone will ever want to hear.

Sooo, me and my insomniac self was scrolling thru the books and someone got their NOA2, but a March filer with a NOA1 date for March 31st..... The universe continues to feed me hope. Closer and Closer.

This would be a good time for you to look over the Embassy Letter for required documents and bring them with you to leave with your fiancee. Here is the link for the Philippines Letter https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/82/2016/08/K1-and-K2-Applicant-Interview-Preparation-Instructions-08112016-English-336KB.pdf

 

Safe travels

You and us both!  I think once we get a couple of NOA2's, the floodgates will open and we'll all be with our loved ones.
