Exactly.   Nearly every one of our cases is at least slightly different.   Some are more complicated and require more checks.  Others are simple and can be completed more quickly.

 

Prior Divorce Decrees, prior Arrest Records, prior K1 submissions, dependent children, and prior entries into the US are just a few of the factors that the I-129F questions the petitioner about and likely factor in the amount of time and effort required to determine if approval will be granted.  For a couple with clean police records, no prior marriages, and no children I would assume they are going to move more quickly.   Additionally, the quality of the information included with the I-129F submission will impact the amount of time and effort required by the adjudicator.  I have read about cases were required documents were incomplete or missing, or claims of 200 pages of documentation were submitted.  Every page of documentation and every photo included needs to be examined.   Additionally,  some beneficiaries are from countries with higher rates of Visa abuse.  As a necessity, they will likely be scrutinized more closely.

 

So, approving a K1 petition is not like purchasing a movie ticket.   Every case is different and some are much more complicated.    Think of it as a car race.   Some cars are going to move more quickly and cross the finish line first.   Someone is going to be in the slowest car and come in last.   It is just the way it works.

 

Here is to wishing everyone still waiting that you are in a fast car!

I’ve been (mostly silently) lurking on this thread for a couple of months now but I’ve noticed that for some reason, things have seemed to be getting a little hostile in here recently.  😕  Guys, I know emotions and tensions are running high right now but let’s try to remember that we’re all in this together.  For those who have finally received their NOA2’s, congratulations!  And for those of us still awaiting our NOA2’s, well, we all share the same frustration.  It’s not a competition though and USCIS’s processing order is out of our control anyway so let’s just share in the joy of others and be happy for them.  In time, our turn will come too. 

 

And while I’m here I just wanted to say that all of you guys here have been such a great resource and comfort.  Just knowing that there are others who are in the same boat and on the same journey as me, and that there is always someone here willing to offer advice or a helping hand is just awesome.  You guys, which are just too many to list, are truly amazing.  Thank you!  And a special thank you to @Naes.  Girl I don’t know how you do it but, we are so lucky to have you.  I know that August isn’t even your month and still, you take time out of your day to run those scans twice a day and post them here for us to keep us sane.  I know that you don’t have any magic powers or inside knowledge and even though those scans are comprised of information that any one of us can find ourselves, the fact that you do it for us is greatly appreciated.  Even if there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order USCIS follows, being able to see any signs of progress helps me and so many of us keep it together until our turn comes.  Thank you also for being there to answer our questions, however obvious, silly, or repetitive they may seem.  I know it must get a little tiring and frustrating at times, especially when people get upset with you when they don’t like the answer you give them.  Anyway, I just can’t say it enough.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  And I’m sure that I speak for the vast majority of us when I say you rock, you’re awesome and we appreciate you!

Congrats!! Surprisingly, passing 200 days has made me the calmest I've been in this whole process. Even rude Tier 2 USCIS ladies don't get to me anymore 

I'm expecting a similar wisdom... that settles in after 200....

We're an Aug 9th, USCIS just doesn't work completely in order.. Right now it seems like they're trying to get average times down. If it helps, Aug 9th (one of the dates with the fewest filers, for what it's worth), was barely touched last week. If it's any consolation, the faster they get to months ahead of us, the faster we can submit proper inquiries  

 

Awww. did you try calling uscis?

ATTITUDE???🙄

SELFISHNESS???🙄

 

OMG!!! Like Seriously? Selfishness! Yet, she misses her sleep for everyday scans and tries to assist in ways she could in every minute.

 

What's really your point? You want them to keep processing January-May 2017 till this moment (February, 2018)? I'm sorry to say this, but you were actually 'whining'. YES! Do you think you would even be having this bad feeling had it been they didn't start off August? (OMG! I'm even an October Filer...I would be losing my Hair or maybe, getting to be a GreatGrandMum before they eventually leap over to my file🙄😏)

 

Remember that anything you post here would be analyzed and you are susceptible to be quoted.

 

**So, you can wait for your NOA2, call Tier1, Tier2, Tier3, Tier100, NVC99 or anyone provided it's your case, you paid $535 and there are numbers to call them.

 

Goodluck!🙌😎

Girl 

 

if asking two questions and debating an issue (which there was no rudeness in the answer but criticizing the "facts" which apparent  Ray Charles can see but sorry I can't...) is being

 condescending and all the blah blah Ana blahs oh and selfish and is called an attitude? Someone else should reread the post they quoted and then their answer to see which one is actually sounds like all that...

 

so I'm not taking any of those

but thank you hehe

 

in reality we should just use ignore button and done!

I have.. I just get the usual spiel at this point, sometimes they're nice telling it to me. Sometimes they're jerks (like today)

Yes "name check" by FBI and other agents are done (not uscis by the way- uscis also does different name checks on different databases) 

so yes common names are sometimes harder to get out. Did he ever got a US visa? Common names people tend to get a clearance at their first visa (they usually have a writing in meaning "not the same person" to keep them away from getting a hit everytime.

He never had a US visa issued because he acquired his citizenship by birth. The more it draws closer, the more we’re getting anxious about it. 😰😰😰

Oh he is the petitioner. They will just check it and see in the end that there's nothing  don't worry.

Common name is not a reason for denial, it just sometimes makes the security check go longer. And in the end they will know it's clear  

[CharlieTshiab 66]

Congrats to all those approved!  Gives us all hope that the process will continue to improve for the better and that we are another day/week/month closer to our precious other half.  FYI, I'm a recent (Feb 2018 filer) and was lurking to see where NOA2 approvals are at.

 

I've been reading a lot of the posts and sounds like some people are just overly frustrated at the process.  I do have to say, lots of thanks to people like @Naesand many many others who put in time and effort to give those of us a small glimpse of what to expect.  Most of us are blind to the process and having a graph, a spreadsheet or some other sort of graphical timeline to ease our anxiety, even just for a second is very much appreciated.

 

Without this type of community, those of us who don't have a lick of knowledge about these types of process would spend tons of $$$ for hired resources even just for the little information gathered here.  For that I applaud @Naes and the many of you who have done so

Hello everyone;

 

From March I will be living in a place that's 2 hours from my work. I thought a lot about the morning times and how to adjust the time, however it seems like uscis is only really updating once a day and midday scan is just happen to be middle of it or before it.

 

So after thinking a lot and I decided to do one full day total post every day after their day is finished.

 

As I repeat continuously, I gather this just to see how things are going and any individual case status should be checked online at the official uscis website, please continue with that for the fastest notice of your approval!

 

Hope you understand.

Perhaps you can tell us the time and time zone it will get posted every day? 

 

Then we can come at once, cry, complain, and accuse others of acting selfish when we dont see the information were looking for! 🤪

 

thanks for all you do @Naes- you selfish person you! 😜
