It seems like they might  start with us on mid December! Are you guys excited?! 

I sure hope this is right.. I'm getting rather impatient lol
Between working 40+ hours/week and schooling full time, I'm ready for my fiance to be here next to me!!

You bet. December or January, all I know is that there’s not much more time left. Luckily for me, time seems to fly during the holidays.

I'm doing the exact same thing. 40+ at work, school, and add on a fiery redheaded toddler. 

 

Ilost my temper a week or two ago, and now I'm back on the patience wagon. It's not easy, but it will be incredibly worth it.

Good Morning to a Positive Saturday Everyone!!!

 

I wasn't going to do the weeklies because @Shoegum rocked it yesterday!!! (I wish I had my cool graph programs at home  )

Me Loved the ORANGES  

 

But then I was checking the Aprils! and then because I didn't yet had the raw data for 11/3 from Shoegum,

I decided eh why not, let's scan that just to have some fun with calculations.

 

I felt really happy, and hopefully to give hope to most waiting in every month,about the timelines really picking up just like shoegum said!

 

Here goes nothing

 

Monthlies;

 

Weeklies;

And yes we hit 800+ (and this doesn't even include possible unchanged status cases!)

* Extra dates are some cases where a future date is written in some "Document was mailed" statuses these are usually 1 month from the date of status change 

 

In numbers:

The total of cases has been touched (anything but virgin) from April+ (as we do not have data for before April cases) since October 1st is in TOTAL 2651 

970 for APRIL; 1663 for MAY; 18 for JUNE

 

I hope this gives someone / anyone some ease

 

Please keep your happiness strong, nobody here is alone.. No,no I am not even talking about us each other. 

But here everyone is waiting for a partner, your happiness is your other half/ your bae(I just realized I have never used this word in my life )/ your love/ your everything... whatever you want to call is also their happiness!! 

 

 

*Links for RAW Data, 

  Please check it on a computer browser; seems like some cases doesn't show on phone browsers.

  And let me know if I made a mistake or forgot your case

May

 -for the recent May result please check Shoegum's Up-to-date May list!

You're awesome. I wish I had the computer knowledge to do this myself. Haha

I'm just gonna throw this out there and this might be absolutely wild, but I think just maybe we have a chance for 5 months.  I would be stooooooked for a 5 month approval.  Let's keep hoping that they keep the pace going fast for end of year!!! Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the data @Naes!! You are the best!!!!

I do think at least it will start faster than June filers in the term of day count. 

 Let's see if they will keep up with their speed like last week for another week! 😊

I'm not in this thread to be informed about the logistics of what we're dealing with, I'm here to commiserate with others who are often feeling the same way I do.  It's helpful to not have to feel alone and isolated in a very convoluted, frustrating, circuitous process (that no one in the rest of my life is able to understand except for my partner).  Furthermore, that you are apparently doing just fine with your wait does not mean others are or can be.

 

Im not the OP, just agreeing with him/her, mate.

My apologies, I should have specified that my message was directed at you both.

No ill will. You're entitled to your opinion, as we are to ours.

But of course.  The difference here, though, is that if I see posts that don't seem relevant to me, I simply skim or skip over them instead of calling out their authors in arguably a pretty rude manner and basically telling them to shut up simply because I personally don't find their posts useful or interesting.

No one is forcing you or the OP to follow this thread if it's not meeting the needs of what you came here looking for.  There are ways to turn off alerts.  I don't think being bossy/rude (more OP here) is helpful or welcome.  A similar issue just cropped up in the May thread the other day and the poster similar to the OP was roundly condemned for being such a jerk.

I'm genuinely happy for you or anyone else who is cruising along through this waiting period just fine.  Not all of us are, and it doesn't take much of a leap of the imagination to understand that it can be a terrible emotional struggle for some.  I have derived great value from the kind and understanding people on this site.  It's been beyond helpful to know that I am not alone.  When your partner is over 10,000 miles away, loneliness can set in very easily.

Maybe a positive contribution you could make in response to what you see as pointless bellyaching is to share tips on how you have managed to cope so well.  I'm sure such advice would be most appreciated.

Or if all else fails...just don't read it.  As long as the author of a post is a July filer, or the post touches in some fashion on petitions filed in July, it's on topic and validly posted in this thread, and that's all there is to it.

There is a lot of useful information on this forum. As you suggest, I do skip over the meaningless posts... and there are many. Which is why I understand OP's frustration.

**** several posts removed for TOS violations (bickering, personal attacks, telling others not to post) or quoting same.  Visajourney is for information, but also for emotional support during this stressful time. And yes, that can include some sadness and negative posts, that is ok.  This is a welcoming and friendly community for EVERYONE. If it is difficult for you to read some posts due to your own current situation, then you can either step away, scroll quickly by, or put that poster on "ignore" so you do not see their posts.  *******

[Naes 12,205]

Wow something happened here 😊 I hope everyone is fine and back to positive

 

come on guys it's picking up! ❤️
