I saw this before, as I'm also in the same position. I believe you write "none" for citizenship proof as they already have your passport and that's more than enough. I read it somewhere else but don't remember exactly where. But no you don't need your certificate of citizenship because that's only for people who want to proof citizenship to get a passport (like kids who were born to u.s. parents in foreign countries and came back). 

This is very helpful. Ty.

Just got off the phone with my attorney regarding backlog and rfe's , last year the current administration sent new guidelines to the department of homeland security regarding ALL visa petitions. USCIS was told to review each petition a 2nd and a 3rd time before issuing an approval. He also said his office hasn't received 1 rfe in last 2000 cases and seems to think most of these rfe's within the last 8 months are being issued to people that filed the petition themselves. USCIS were sent a new set of guidelines 8 months ago and they been going by those, so prior to 8 months ago things would have been approved faster than what the current rate is now due to the change in how things are approved. Which bothers me because if someone sends in the correct information, evidence and meets ALL the requirements of the I-129F petition for K1 then should be approved no matter what the new guidelines say. If one meets the requirements then by all means approve them if the both background checks are in order. 

 

I will not vote for this administration next time around.

Wow! Lots of August approvals! 😱❤️ Aug11 here. Keeping my fingers crossed. If we're not in the scan, i wish they already sent out our NOA2! Goodluck my lovies! I wish we'll get our approvals soon, its our 10th year anniversary this month. And 9th year of being in a long distance relationship. I do hope we'll get approve soon and all of us here. ❤️❤️❤️ Positive vibes everyone! 🙏🏻

I'm August 11th too, so it's promising but also disappointing to see only one approval compared to the many for the following days. I know this doesn't mean much since they work somewhat erratically... Now this is going to be increasing the stress levels!

meanwhile...I'm outside shoveling snow and making snow angels  (reminds me of Naes...lol)!!!  Seriously though, I decided last night that I wasn't going to focus on any of the things that give me negative energy but instead to take each day and live it, make it fun so that I don't feel like my life is on hold until my love is here. Because my life ISN"T on hold! Each day is precious with something special in it...I don't to miss it!!!  Totally worth it all.

Lets just be on the positive side cos negativity attracts negative vibes. Who knows? Our NOA2 might be on its way to our mailboxes! 😊🙏🏻 Lets hope for the best! Its coming! 😇

I would really love some good news! My natural state is pessimism, as that way I won't be as disappointed...  It is very encouraging how quickly they're moving, so let's just keep hanging on. We've all been doing that for almost six months now!

Naes,

 

We really appreciate you posting the mid day scans. I totally understand how it can be tiring to run these everyday. I think it would be beneficial to everyone in the VJ community for you to write a detailed post on how you are running these scans, so that we can run our own. This way, you wont have to be the one doing it. Whoever is online can run the scan and post the results. 

 

I suspect you are running some kind of custom program to retrieve these results? I am a programmer for a living and am thinking about making a website that can do these scans automatically from a compiled list of case numbers submitted by users and or pulled from VJ timelines.

call me crazy but ehhhh - how long have u been on this forum?

 

since monthhhhhhs if not ages, there are some awesome people like @Naes that run a script that was made previously from another VJ member.

every month we had one guru that did run these numbers to update this forum...

so not sure why she has to explain in so much detail, as she's running the scan and not anyone else?

if there is a volunteer of the month of august, i'm sure she'll hand over as she's a sept filer and does all other kinds of calculations and things....

 

as this is all non personal information with these wac's she's running, there shouldn't be some comments like that.

 

what i find a bit disappointing, is you questioning her this way, when you (and i'm sure everybody else is already) should be thankful for someone like her running this for us. it is not only time consuming, but she dedicates a loooot of freetime in this stuff to please us and give us some comfort with these scans.

 

sorry to vent - but i found your message pretty disrespectful and i don't think @Naes should be questioned as she's been on this forum for about 150 days running scans and helping out, researching, giving answers and all that!

 

anyways - i wish every augustine sooo much luck that you are next, we are all here to motivate each other and to be here for each other.

i understand a lot of may/june filers are disappointed on how quick july and now even august is running. so am i! i wish it was different and wouldn't be "unfair" as it is now. i know people from this forum that have been on here since late 16 / early 17, and it has been going on like that every single month. 

and every single month people are waiting when someone from 1-2 months ahead is getting approvals. not fair, but that's this uscics process. 

so please dear filers, all of you, stay positive! we are all a step closer to being with our SO and we will all get there!

 

happy friday and stay positive <3

Sorry to hear that.  It is a waiting game.  That is all you can do.  Just send whatever it was they wanted for the RFE and they will probably update it to approved on the same day they receive it.  That could even be today.  Try not to worry.

My fiancé says it has been warm in Egypt.  The temperatures go up and down.  For the most part, I don't think he will like our winters.  He lived in Romania when he was a kid, but when we are kids, snow and ice seem great.  Not when you have to drive in them to get to work or shovel them.  Of course, I wish he was here, but at the same time, I think it is a blessing that he isn't right now.  Winter is just plain miserable.  It is certainly no fun to look for a new apartment or to move.  I remember winter in Egypt.  I was wearing a t-shirt and my host family was telling me I needed a coat or I would get sick.  I was laughing because it was like 70 degrees and back home that day it was 20 degrees.  I would like my baby to get settled in here and be in a routine before he has to suffer through this cold.  The Arabic word for winter is "shitta"  I think that is the most accurate name ever!

Who cares about how long I have been posting on this forum? I am here trying to help the community.  I think its ridiculous that everyone has to come to this forum waiting for 1 person to run a scan. While I do appreciate @Naes running the scans, this is a process that can be completely automated and posted to a website for anyone to view without human intervention. I was looking for a program I could start with and improve. Since @Naes doesn't want to give up the script, I have created my own. I am not trying to disrespect @Naes , I am simply trying to make it easier for people to see what dates are being processed. I honestly thought @Naes would be happy that he/she wouldn't have to run these things every day, but whatever. 

 

I already have the script done that does the scan. I am currently in the process of creating the website with cool graphs and stats on the cases. 

 

By the way, all of my code will be published to GitHub after I get this application running. Anyone will be able to download it and run their own scan.... Because sharing is caring
