Hey @Naes  Im still trying to figured out with the vpn, it seams that it will be okey by the time... I think we should start at soon as we see the first July approval on the scan...

but now something els,

 

I was playing around with the app this weekend and I found out something very interesting....

Lok at that:

 

"On August 14, 2017, we approved your Form I-129F, Petition for Fiance(E), Receipt Number WAC1790347648."

that is a case from May 31th... It means that they approved this case in 75 days!!!

what a lucky couple...

It means also that every moment any of us can get approved... Of course we all knew that...

But that!!!.... 75 Days!!!😲😳😳 It feels like someone stabbed me in the back .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Expedited.dont worry about those really fast cases.

 

I'll text you again about the scans when June is settling down

We received NOA1 on July 20th 2017 and then a week later we booked a wedding venue in Pennsylvania for July 14th 2018. I know many people on VJ recommend that it's not a smart idea to book a wedding venue in case anything goes wrong but we thought a full year would be more than enough time to get the visa approved!! Right now with the slow processing times we're slightly worried about our wedding in July 2018 but hopefully we can continue the positive vibes and we all get some nice January NOA2's  

I feel your agony Lorna.  Praying for both of us!

Hey now, we gotta do something to occupy our time. What news could you expect though? We've been in a black

hole for 5 months.

News is June filers are hoping for their cases to be touched TODAY. Which in a simple estimate means we can hope for our files to be touched December 13?! Yay! Let's go USCIS ppl, I want to get married before I turn 30! lol

anyone else having trouble getting to the USCIS tracking site or on their app?  The spinach one keeps giving me an error message and online it says the page can't be displayed.

Just returned from spending two weeks with the fiance in Romania It was nice not to be (too) stressed out about the visa timeline...but now back to reality. 

 

I may be biased, but if anyone is looking for a European vacation, Romania is pretty awesome. The NY Times recently called it "the T.J. Maxx of Europe" haha. I like to shop so I think that's pretty funny. 

 

Anyways, a NOA2 is still at the top of my Christmas list. Best of luck to all of us!

Maybe this outage means a major update for approvals this week?

I would look for animal shelters. They tend to be cheaper than pet stores or breeders. And they come with their shots.

THIS.

Please, please, PLEASE do not go through pet stores or breeders!!!!  There are so many wonderful pups in shelters or with rescue groups who need loving homes.  And if you absolutely must have a specific breed, go through a rescue group devoted to that breed.

More optimistically, will that be in the 90 day wedding window? If you get a January NOA2, and say a March POE date. Or are you getting a quick courthouse wedding first and then doing the ceremony later?
