Hello!

 

Firstly, USCIS is still processing May Filers and by mid-November - early December, they will proceed to June Filers. You will be expecting an update or new status on your case by mid-December - early January. So, your case is still sitting/resting on one of the Adjudicator's desk (no cause for alarm yet). 🙂😀

 

Secondly, an update you would be getting by the speculated time might be an RFE (Request for Additional Evidence) due to the omission of the USC's Birth Certificate, not NOA2.

 

Thirdly, you and your Fiancé should endeavour to reply the RFE on time. An RFE takes an addition of 2-6weeks to have an NOA2.

 

Fourthly, your Fiancé can send a mail to or call USCIS ASAP, for a change of address (it isn't a big issue, as I think it won't affect the NOA2). 

 

Fifthly, Pray and Be Calm.

 

Goodluck and I wish you, success!👌

Congrats, in advance!🎉🎆🎊🎇

So, I just checked the processing times website.

 

Unless something went horribly wrong somewhere, they have sped through a LOT of backlog.

Anyone checked out the updated processing times at CSC. What should we make of this?

Looking at the other dates, I worry that is a mistake.

Yes, I'm very interested to see who starts having their case statuses updated in the coming couple of weeks.

It's really confusing. They are currently working on May Files. Does this give an idea or hope for June-September Filers? Hmmm! We don't know yet. Anyways, let's keep watching. We are October Filers and we bring Luck to the House!

[Mgdtime97 140]

I will continue to hope and pray that the date is correct. HAHA

 

That would mean they are close to our file then.

I saw this in the May filers' thread and will be checking this again in a few but I don't think it's accurate since May filers are getting approved even up to this morning.

I'm really not sure what's going on but this is the USCIS dedicated page for "Field Office Processing Dates for California Service Center as of: September 30, 2017". It was last updated: November 7, 2017. The other dates kinda seem to correspond with the K-1 based on average handle time from prior months but it just doesn't make much sense since May filers are literally JUST getting NOA2 and I have yet to see NOA2 updates for June, July, August filers. 

 

I think it might just be a mistake or they might be saying they're doing expedited September cases that were maybe made as high priority.

 

There's also a third possibility ,and this is purely speculation of course, but what if due to the backlog of K-1 cases they've made adjustments to the process and there are a few more steps added to the process such as having it initially reviewed for RFE(s) and such by like an entry level personnel then it passes there it's sent to an adjudicator. It's a longer process but it would speed things up to have an additional set of eyes to cut the workload. 

 

I will try to dig some more to see what's really going on. This is so frustrating though. I will keep hoping though. I'm hoping really hard right now that there was some miraculous event that made the processing speed up without the sacrifice of tightening approvals.

Ok so I'm checking the other service centers and here are my findings:

I was online doing the same. It seems the info for CA is correct - or at least I hope so. Our case will be reviewed there

I just wish there were more updates or something because the CA dates look right but the fact that they jumped from April to September on the website seems like a typo or something BUT let's hope it's accurate for K1

You have to call and call them and just call them!!! According to my lawyer the website updates when the slowest case worker finishes a certain pile for the month. I am also surprised by this but I am ecstatic. I've heard of cases of people getting noa2 in just two months. Maybe it could be us fellow October-eans

It is incorrect. They haven’t finished April or May yet and they still have all of June, July and onwards to do. Sorry guys but you’re in for a long wait.

See, that's what I'm assuming but what I really want to do is cling to the idea that by some miraculous event they've finally split the processing with at least one of center and have sent June - August there and are now doing September in Cali

 

[TransplantUSA 167]

There hasn’t been any news to suggest they’ve split everything again. It would be nice but I’m not holding hope for that. 

 

They have started to go a little faster from the numbers we’re seeing in the May thread so by the time it comes to August and after it should be quicker again!
