I129F April 2017 filers

[Chris&Princess 18]

I am not from Pakistan but small notifications like this from the Case tracker app gives me a little hope that soon USCIS is gonna process the April filers.

I have the iPhone uscis app and as those with it know, you can only see the numbers in order after yours. So the rfe's i mentioned yesterday were not only after mine but were in very random places. How are they picking the cases to look at? Does that mean our cases have been looked at and processes?

Hahah, I was thinking the same thing with Trilobyte. Maybe moving to the April filers will be my good luck charm. I contacted USCIS today and my senator, so maybe my luck will surface!  

 

@TriloByte, throw some luck my way!?  

I just cut off my rabbit foot to give to you for luck!

I read on another thread that someone got a second RFE. I was under the impression that as soon as I mail the extra evidence, that CSC would approve my case within the next two weeks.  Are my expectations too high?

I'm there with you! I assume yesterday's April case getting a RFE was 4/3 received date, but still didn't get confirmation

Don't have the time to scan cases today, but I'd like to see more April received date touched here, yep.

Maybe today

Hey @Estibaliz yes you are correct my received date was April 3rd, although i have the NOA1 date as 4/7 because that is when I actually received the text and mailed letter. 

 

Can someone please post a link of where I can read about the average turnaround time for RFEs.... I thought if I just overnighted the extra evidence that it would get to them the next day and they could approve it, but I recently read that someone people are waiting more than a month. Maybe their visa is not a K-1...?

Sometimes the adjudicators miss something and then it's possible to get a 2nd RFE.  Although it's not very common.

There is no average time for anything in this process.  USCIS could receive your RFE and approve quickly, or it may take much longer.

 

There are many people who do not have any information about their case and have waited much longer than you, so feel fortunate that they have sent an RFE and you are a step closer to approval.

No a March filer got an RFE on the 24th July and just received an approval dated the 28th.

An unrelated post + reply were split from this thread, moved to the K-3 Case Progress subforum, and given the topic title "What to Expect?  [split topic."

Well, I've been giving a lot of thought as to why the processing times moved backward in the website and this is what I think:

The website is designed to tell you the estimated processing time (as the name states), not necessarily which application month they are working on, therefore, on July 18 as it states in the bottom, they updated it to let us know that the waiting time is now 5 months (because the got caught up with haiti stuff or whatever reason it is) instead of the regular 3-4 months it used to say earlier in the month.

 

So they are not trying to trick you into believing they are working on January cases.. this is just the only way the can let us know is taking longer now, because that is the way this table is designed.

I didnt get this info from any official source, but this makes perfect sense to me..

i don't think so... they cannot put 18 july just because of K-1 filers, there are many other kinds of visas... some of them are not 5 months of  waiting, but some years...it can means that they work with any  cases  until 18 july

Looks like the VJ tracker now has moved the NOA2 to 3-4 weeks later from the original estimation.  Seeing cases from the end of March and beginning of April are starting to get touched it seems about right.  The beginning of the long journey is almost here.  I doubt it will be a never ending story. Happy Friday to all!
