Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. I really don’t mean to be rude, but can we keep this on topic? Some of us are really only looking for estimates on how long noa2 will take and information on the k1 process. There has to be other venues to share engagement stories. Apologies if I sound like a downer

These forums are not only for estimates but also for people who want to talk and share joys of life, it is hard enough in life to get to know people out of the norm at least here we are all going through the same thing and we all like talk about different topics. If we all stay on topic specifically then these forums would be boring, further more if you stay on topic in life with out venturing outside the box what kind of life would you have ( BORING ) that is what makes life a life to be different and have a variety of topics. If you can not enjoy going off topic then there is the web to get your answers from instead of in forums like these. ENJOY LIFE TALK ABOUT OTHER TOPICS QUIT BEING STRESSED ON ONE ONLY.

Welcome to the family table, sincerely. I do not appreciate your comment, you are not rude, just forgot why we are here. "On Topic"? Well, "129-F", that "F" stands for fiancé, as in a post proposal role of one to another. So to be a fiancé, someone had to propose, correct? If you had a "raffle ticket" to get a fiancé, wonderful, describe it to us . As for the "venues" of information, as you are "ONLY" looking for information on how long, you can call USCIS, they will enlighten you. Good luck to you.

 

 

THIS. You put it perfectly!!!

 

It's refreshing to read how we've all ended up here together. We're all going to be waiting a while longer, so why not pass the time with some lovely memories and happenings? The numbers are all well and good, but things forever change and cause friction, it seems. 

 

The stories so far have been beautiful. I wish you all the best of luck with your applications and your futures. Even shed a couple of happy tears. We'll get there. Slow and steady wins the race and all those other clichés.

 

Seriously though, I'm nosey and want to know everyone elses' story!!! 😍

I will update our numbers, as I don't want our new family member @M & K to feel slighted in any way , but first I want to say THANK YOU for all kind words her, and private messages, I really appreciate it!

----------------------------------------------

 

As I have mentioned on Thursday night, they started working on the last full week in May before us. May 22nd had 23 + 15 cases worked on Thursday and Friday, which has brought that day down to 296 (over 10% done). Following next untouched in that week have:

 

Tue 5/23/2017  -  182

Wed 5/24/2017  -   83

Thu 5/25/2017  -  129

Fri   5/26/2017  -  169

-----------------------------

TOTAL   563 cases untouched

Monday 296 cases 

-----------------------------

Grand Total  - 859

 

That is the last full week of May. Following week is a short one, with 4 days in total. Only last two days of May are left then, and since my last update, there was one withdrawal and one RFE, which brought number of cases to round 500 ! That particular RFE was a very interesting one, since it was a "response" to RFE, which in all prior scans showed "received". It is obvious that that RFE had to be sent out first in order to be responded to. And together with another RFE, it looks almost definitely that they are on threshold of June

 

Tue 30th with 421

Wed 31st with  79 

------------------------------

Total 500 cases left before us

 

Also, do not get scared with this "mountain of cases" on May 30th. Although it is 421 cases on that day, it is followed by only 79, and than June 1st and 2nd combined have only 207 cases, hence our first week has less cases than week before it. That bodes well for the following week June 5th - 9th, as they should breeze through the week before. Just to add, before someone points it out, they are also hard working on the cases in 3rd week of May, here is that:

 

Mon 15th  -  183

Tue  16th  -  107

Wed 17th  -  148

Thu  18th  -  138 (untouched)

 Fri   19th  -   71  (untouched)

 

More to add, this past week they have returned to their historical output, even better,  close to 750 cases for only April and May, and there was March action as well, I counted 10+ on my app, I am sure there was more. At this pace, and considering the way they work weeks at the time, this week we should see first June cases being touched. So as I always say, get your glasses ready ....

Happy to read about the lower numbers on June 1 & 2, as I'm received date June 5th. Whoooo

 

I have an appointment for passport renewal and police certificate thing tomorrow - so will be just in time for our approvals to start raining (hopefully)!

I am absolutely SHOCKED.

I won't respond to you in the manner with which you made this comment, however it is interesting that an effort to get the thread back to being positive with some good memories, you feel the need to say something.  However, biting each others heads off goes unnoticed... a little fishy if you ask me.  

Anyway... It is my understanding that this thread is for the June filers to socialize, pass time and discuss together all aspects of our journey and to support an dhelp each other through the process, not solely about numbers.  I do believe that if you only want updates on approval numbers, Igors List, or the USCIS app will help you much more in a personal sense.

Best wishes for a speedy approval for you.  Apologies if I sound like... well... someone who prefers a nice environment to pass my time in.

Renewal 

[Catseal 268]

I am so excited for this week, hopefully Squirrel you are right and they touch June first by the end of it! My SO is arriving next week and will bring all the remaining documents, I can't wait for this process to finally move! 

[Naes 12,205]

@Ay Pe (I literally searched for you for 10 min)

@msscarlette

 

ok guys hopefully somewhere this week the worst next week we will start seeing June cases. 

 

As john has a mac and this scan doesn't work well with mac, I would like to ask you too. If still interested and available to do this with, and obviously we all have a personal life, so this is not a job! Don't let anyone pressure you into it (especially me 😊) Please message me so I can explain and we can try if it works for you guys.

 

I feel happy today... even though it was a Monday (I finished the Monday here..sigh.) 

I've read some good proposal stories...

 

 

[Naes 12,205]

For everyone who's starting a new week!

 

i hope this may make you laugh and say "so that's why this girl is weird"

 

see i I went to US in May to meet my fiancé's family. And while I was there we decided to see this venue I so like for the wedding (nope no proposal yet- but I knew cause we can't keep a secret... like at all- that his mother gave him a ruby which was in the family for my engagement ring)

so we liked it so much! And that was it... we went home I asked his mother if she thinks it's too crazy, if we should maybe spent next three months as planned before we put a deposit...) then I said you put 250 I put 250, I believe if we decide not to use it losing this money won't be the saddest thing...

 

there you go engaged on may 4th! 

 

Forever Star Wars fans accidentally engaged on May 4th! 

 

Next day we went for the ring... two months later he did the worst proposal in the proposal history... in the morning... before my coffee, five minutes before I go to work...

I said " no... do it again"

even the ring box was closed (like seriously dude open the box at least... don't give me the box?!?

 

Next morning... again in the morning... this time in the living room next to a -please clean me level- cat litter box...

 

box was open... I laughed... I gave up...

 

so now whenever ever he is romantic (cause other than this he is this incredibly romantic person!!)

 

i repeat "still a better proposal"
