I just received an email from USCIS regarding the inquiry I placed on 11/8. Pretty much the email said my case was still within the normal processing time and should be processed within the next 45 days. I already knew this but it was kind of reassuring to know someone actually looked at my information lol. But waiting 45 more days..... I may go insane. 

I got the same thing yesterday. Don’t know if I should be happy or sad about it. But your right, at least I know someone at least looked it up

I did a scan of 500 with my number being the last one.  There are 6 approvals today from June 6 filers in that scan!  It isn't me (yet) but it is exciting to see.

Congrats to those, but this is when you REALLY hate that they don't work them in order.

Just gotta wait and hope it'll be sooner than later,  since it could be any day within the 45 days they told us... 

It's great to see other Juners getting approved though!

That is it ! Thank you and you know the rest (I love you, you are the best, awesome, etc).

 

If you would, after you filter the last of today's work, do one more please for May, and June also if @vocaledge doesn't , so we can play tomorrow - I finally have a day to relax.

 

Speaking of @vocaledge .....

June 6th, Approved!!!! Yay!!! I was notified by email and the app. Wow!!

 

BTW. We used Rapid Visa. No RFEs. This was the best option for us since I was extremely busy. I'm sure I would have made a mistake during the process. It went through checks by 4 different people and some of the things they found would have resulted in an RFE.

I used them too. We haven’t gotten as far as you but they did make sure the package was correct before they sent it. They had questions and corrections that would have resulted in an RFE if we didn’t use them.

I had actually started by consulting with a local "Immigration attorney" here first. After the first conversation, I started looking for alternatives. I was pretty sure I knew as much as he did. I know there are some attorneys out there that are good but if they don't handle a lot of these cases, then it's probably an educated guess for them.

I used an immigration attorney because this process is so important I didn't want to have to worry about anything. I liked the fact that unlike a visa prep service, the attorney could act on my behalf. However, the more I've learned, I think the visa prep route is the way to go unless you have a really complicated case. So, I could have saved some money. Live and learn!

 

As is said a million times on here, the info exists to do it yourself and this petition is not nearly as important to anyone else as it is to you. Even given that truth, I would still find the prep service good piece of mind.

Brace yourself for this part--it is going to be frustrating and difficult. They DO NOT work the petitions in order. You have about an 85-90% chance (I have not done the full calculation) to see non-expedited petitions filed after yours approved before yours. You also have a decent chance to be approved before some that filed before you.

 

From my calculations, a general rule of thumb is approval within about 10 days when you see them really start touching your date or just after although keep in mind, some can take 24 or more days after that.

I just want to know what their NOA 1 date was...I don't know how to find that.

 

Yeah, assumed the way they pick files might just be random if anything.
