I personally give my case a 220 days to start worrying and 250 days window to really start worrying.

 

i checked my case a lot of times (I'm a perfectionist) but these delays has nothing to do with that anyway, and they also give rfe for anything these days.

 

we both have no criminal records let alone arrests anything related. He was in the navy till march so I know he is extremely clear too. No marriages, hence no divorces, no kids. No family member also related to anything like this. Have both unique names that even Americans can't pronounce although it is a common Irish name. Basically nothing. Both letters of intent is in, both pictures are sent, full pages of the passport. And stamps and pictures from 7 travels, and tickets and hotels and everything you can imagine them asking is in.

 

yet I know I still may get an rfe. I'm not scared of it. I don't think I'm suppose to get it by I'm not worried of it.

 

200 days is long but under the current circumstances it is nothing to be worried about.

 

8/7 is a day with mountain level applications which is also another reason not to be worried about the delay. Because average is almost 200 days right now. And stressing over it before anything really happened wouldn't help you or your partner  

 

but this is all just how I think so obviously you are free to stress..

Yes I too am an Aug 29 NOA1 date. I am so happy for all of the approvals coming through. Just waiting for mine as patiently as I can. I did just come back from Jamaica on Sunday and spent 5 days with my fiancé and thought that would help but not real sure it helped any but only made the wait worse.

Aug 29th here too! 😀

What did I say about never believe in a tier 1  

 

CONGRATS

Lol I don't even trust tier 2 OR csc at this point 😂

 

Ty. It's funny I had such a bad day (was crying all day) and called them bc we felt defeated and when they said we have been approved I didn't feel that excitement... I think bc it was way overdue since I asked them for expedites previoudly and even my doctor wrote to them and I'm just so destroyed at this point oh well its over now just a lil more

WE JUST GOT APPROVED. WAITED FOR 188 DAYS. 

 

I got an email from USCIS. Im the benificiary.  my fiance didnt got any email just me. 

 

tips for everyone: create an account in the USCIS website and turn on email notification so yo will not be late updated when you got approval. usually Uscis app will notify you late. 

 

Have a good day everyone. Wishing you a Goodluck.

Hi everyone! 

 

Just thought I could share some information I learned today after being on hold for a few hours. So the USCIS has up to a month to look at the RFE response you sent back and reply within a month. Which I hope is accurate. Just thought I’d share!

 

also, idk if any of you have read my depressing posts about my RFE, I’m currently in the process of requesting juvenile records that state I have no record. Sent it in today and may take up to 2-3 weeks. So I’m in the waiting stage.

 

Good luck to everyone! Congrats on those who’ve been approved! And stay strong for those who haven’t, our time is coming! And for those with rfe’s, be strong everything will work out eventually!

I have stalked these forums for months and they have been a great comfort to me throughout this process, so I thought I would share some good news and some helpful news.

 

First - the good news. We were approved!!!! NOA1 received August 3rd and approved on February 15th. So. Relieved.

 

Second - the helpful news. At six months of waiting, I got pissed and decided that I was not going to rest until I found out what was really going on with my application. I called USCIS and harassed the people on the help line until they sent me to a tier 2 supervisor. By harassed, I said it was absurd that this was taking 6 months and that I couldn't get an update on my case until the website was updated to show that I was past the normal processing time. Made the point that that they hadn't updated the website in nearly 3 months, even though they say on the site they do that every 30-45 days. I wouldn't let it go until they transferred me. Then, I basically said the same thing to the tier 2 supervisor until she eventually told me how many times my application had been "touched." She said she would submit a request for information on my behalf, but that I would have to wait 14 business days for a response by mail. So absurd. I accepted that, but still did not stop.

 

I called the district office for my congressional member. The district office, rather than the D.C. office, helps with these kinds of requests. I asked them to inquire about the status of my application. 

 

Three days after I harassed immigration and two days after reaching out to my member of Congress, we were approved. Not saying there's complete causation because we were overdue for approval butttt it doesn't hurt to try something like this if you're feeling powerless.

 

Bottom line - don't give up and put in the hustle! We can do it

Nice job! 

 

although I'm sure the approval was not about the actions as lots of application of up to August 18 got approved by then. I still think it is your right to fight with the situation.
