This breaks my heart 😭. Trying to stay as positive as possible at this point. 

Well...on the bright side, this journey will end some day!!!

 

Like they say, even the brightest day ends in darkness.

Yes I am thinking it's more than 150 days for us. If they process the cases at a rate of 135 a day, it would take another 31 days to get through the rest of the cases in May. We are mid May so probably gotta add another  15 to 20 days to reach ours. 165 to 180 could be a good guess for where we might fall. Arg!!

Greetings to all ! My first time checking in, but have been "living" here for weeks already 

 

 

I am a member of the June party, and I have to say that I believe we are soon to be done. 150-160 is my prediction. My guess would be slightly more "educated" should our dear @John & Rose come through with his "promise" of action

I have been working for days trying to get that to work. I even sat laughing at my computer watching Shoegum manipulating the files to get it to work in a 32 bit Parallels Win7 emulation.  Once I scrape what’s left of my pride off the floor I will reach out to Shoegum for more guidance.  👍🏻

 

My plan is to find a July filer to keep this amazing script going.

  I love the reply, you know exactly what I was talking about. I spied on you for weeks. Thanks for all, it has been a pleasure reading you!

 

Try to scrape the pride, and lead us. Remember there is not a single letter from "John & Rose" in the word "quit"

Fair enough. I will reach out again tomorrow. It does take a few days to get it setup as we need to get through every June petition then filter everything but the I-129F’s and run the reports. The hard part is doing all of the June petitions 5000 at a time. From there is is just running a daily script. (See...I listened to him!!!  Now if I can just figure out how to do it!!!!)

Great, thank you ! I'm sure we all are excited. 

 

5000 in June? That beats May with 4500, which I thought was a lot. What were the numbers for prior months? I haven't followed earlier topics, I thought numbers were in 2500-3000 range.

No!!!  60,000 in June then take just the I-129Fs which hopefully will be around 5000. I think May had 4700+ I-129Fs filed. We won’t know until after we get through the 60,000!

You’re the real June MVP! I’m excited you’re getting tips from @shoegum. I’ve been keeping up with May’s forum and I’m super impressed by his tech skills!!

[The Squirrel 1,318]

Way more than I thought, although nothing surprises me anymore. This process has sure been an eye opener. I feel like I've entered another dimension, a different world altogether. Wow....

 

There was 22 working days in June, it means there were 228 petitions daily. It just seems like too much considering day by day list from May by Shoegum. Only couple of days were over 200 if I remember, one day in 300's, and one in 400's. I can't wait for his list tonight, just to see the totals for the day, to approximate our possibilities.

I know, I know. But the amount of approvals today make up for their non-working day yesterday in my opinion. I'm already anticipating at least 160 days. It is what it is. Felt like they were slowing down for so long. Hope to see they keep this up at least. I had been feeling it in the past week with seeing so little movement. Today is a good day, so I'll cheer for whatever there is

 

*Hugs 

Regardless, I am honestly still impressed with how many  NOA2s were received today . I actually thought there was something wrong with the website (or my eyes) when I first glanced ....

I posted earlier about visiting my fiancé for a month during winter, but it seems plans have changed... US Citizens aren't being issued tourist visas for Turkey anymore as of yesterday, so now we're back to the "wait and hope something changes" game. My fiancé and I are now strongly considering I move to be with him in Turkey, instead, at least for a year and applying for a spousal visa later. In the mean time I'm applying for Mexican citizenship to still see him in December, but the clock is against me, haha

 

Sorry I seem like such a downer every time I post here! I know this process is difficult for everyone, so the progress today on Igor's list was at least a move in the right direction so that everyone can be reunited with their loved ones soon.

Completely understandable! I feel like every comment I post is a complaint or just me throwing myself a pity party. It is so hard to see the good during the wait..but many times I’m reminded on here that the wait is temporary and now is not forever. Stay strong. We are all here for each other .

Don't worry please it's just politics.

I'm sure it will change back to normal quickly. I think this is like a way to stop refugees without banning Turkey officially because of the "good" relations "!?!"

 

Try to think it positive (as I'm trying to) they didn't stop all visa types. So your k1 won't be affected at the moment. Please be strong!

 

I'm Turkish and me and my fiancé was going to go to Turkey for a pre-wedding celebrations with my family. But I'm trying to hope for the best that it will change back quick...

although well both countries have some stubborn heads right now.... politics is kinda like a child's play....
