@Shoegum it’s been such a journey for my partner and I. I’m in South Africa and recently found this thread and have realized you are the guru of the group. Could you possible tell me the status of our application, been such a long confusing, misinformed wait. Would love to know why May 17 was skipped and how much longer you think the wait is for us. WAC1790332682

 

 This is your case as seen in the USCIS app

I just saw the post just before your reply to my reply to you (smh)

 

I think for my personal sanity I’m going to have to leave VJ. 

 

There are just too many insensitive posts from late May filers. 

We’re all missing our partners and just want to be with them. 

 

Poor @Shoegum, who has been doing us all a favour by posting the scans, keeps being bugged by a number of forum members. I think some forget that he is not USCIS staff - just a guy in the same boat as us but trying to give us all hope. 

I for one, am very grateful to him for his hard work. 

 

 

So, with a heavy heart, I’m out. 

 

Peace, love and blessings to you all. 

I don't understand how you feel that us late May filers are being insensitive to you early May filers. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! REGARDLESS ON WHAT PART OF THE TIMELINE WE ARE WAITING THE FACT IS, WE ARE ALL WAITING!!!

 

I'm confused how people like yourself who are calling others insensitive simply because a person voices their feelings about their receive date being skipped or overlooked and taking it like they are being disrespectful and rude by not acknowledging that earlier May filers are still waiting. 

 

I would find it insensitive for those to think we late May filers are should not be able to express our frustration simply because early May filers are still waiting. No one is overlooking or overshadowing that fact but this forum was created for ALL to be able to vent on how we feel.

 

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE ALL STRIVING FOR THE SAME THING REGARDLESS ON WHEN WE FILED AND WHAT ARE RECEIVED DATES ARE!!!! 

 

No one in here controls how USCIS processes our petitions as it has been said plenty of times that USCIS DOES NOT review in chronological order. It all depends on the specific adjudicator and where the petition falls in the stack!

 

Yes, I'm a late May filer as my receive date is May 23rd so I speak for the rest of those that are at the end of month when I say this.....none of us can control who gets their approval before the next person. Therefore, don't call others insensitive simply because we express the same frustration as everyone else here has when they see they've been skipped. 

 

WE ARE STRIVING FOR SAME THING PEOPLE!!! STOP CREATING MORE TENSION IN THIS GROUP WHEN WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!

 

No one in here is the enemy.....USCIS is the cause of all this!!! Remember that!!!

Everyone’s turn will come. Yes it’s frustrating when people after you get approved but we all know they don’t work cases in order, some take longer and those working from home don’t update cases as they go (hence magic Monday’s!) but please stop fighting with each other. 

 

You're all so close to NOA2, this should be the build up to the amazing feeling you’re going to get when you’re approved. 

 

I love coming to the May thread to see all the approvals because I know in the next 4-6 weeks hopefully i’ll be there too! 

 

Focus on the bigger picture. The end goal. POE, a happy marriage to the love of your life. This will all disappear when you’re next to them forever. 

 

Peace and Love guys and gals.

Still a few hrs to go which means there is hope

I'm an early May filer (received date May 1) and I have received my NOA2; I'm still here, supporting everyone else in any way I can.  I would just like to say that I still remember the utter frustration of the loooooong wait and the extreme joy when our number was "called."  The very best part (aside from sharing the news with my wonderful fiancee) was to share it with all of you here for what is true joy if it cannot be shared.  There is no rhyme or reason, it seems, with how USCIS processes these applications; the only constant is the frustration on our end.  Please remember that it's human nature and acceptable to be frustrated, anxious, angry at the system, etc., especially since we have zero control of the process itself.  All we can do is wait and by waiting here, we have people who can help, people who can support us... because anyone who has not gone or is not going through this madness has no idea what it feels to be in this situation.  Be respectful, be as patient as you can, whine and moan when you need to and above all... keep your eye on the prize.

Thanks my friend, I can always count on you for your encouraging words of wisdom.

Really???? Really?????????????

 

May 15th here and seeing approvals way after the 15th!!!

 

Do you read any of the posts from earlier??? There are a number of us who are fed up with posts like this, when here are those of us, and some way before May 15th, who are still waiting to hear!!!

 

 

I’m done with this forum and the insensitivity!!!

 

Good luck to you all

 

 

 

Sorry but this post is just off. So because others have waited longer than others, only those who have waited the lost have a right to be upset? You realize that some people wait MONTHS after same-month applicants have already entered the country? It's just how it is. No one should make themselves king/queen to decide who can be miserable and who can't. I understand your angst and would be going nuts too if i were in the same situation, but every situation is unique and you don't know each person's situation. Maybe you've waited X days longer than me, but also maybe your fiancé is from an ESTA country and so could come here whenever, whereas some of us have fiancées who will never get tourist visas so we haven't seen them for months and thus are solely reliant on NOA2 approval til we can see them again. Being a May 15th filer doesn't give one the right  to minimize the suffering of a May 16th, etc. this place is to commiserate and share knowledge, not to police who can and cannot express dissatisfaction with an extremely inefficient process. I try not to rant on here but I couldn't help myself this time. I hope you get NOA2 approval ASAP.

Regardless of how long it's been, they are still in the same boat we are in. I was speaking of filers whos numbers haven't been in the scans. We have to be supportive of them also, even if they're dates are a few days after ours. Yes, I'm may 11th and still waiting. But they're being skipped too "/

I really hope my post did not offend anyone (from reading above), and I’m very awear of how much @Shoegum does for this group, I honestly think @Shoegum is the person keeping everyone together. Just feeling stuck and hopeless today, but always sending out positive vibes.

If you have a legitimate relationship and a petition that satisfies all requirements, you will get approved. Start with that fact. It's just a matter of time, and a question of what you can control. You will get approved, until that happens just live every day and focus on the fact it will be over. Try to think of a time you thought things were hopeless but yet still worked out. Your odds with a legitimate I-129f petition are extremely high, don't let a few days that feel like months tells you otherwise.

You will get approved. If you have a bona fide relationship and satisfied all petition requirements, you'll be fine
