Agree sooo much... too early to worry... if ya followed this site and the US guidelines you'll be fine. I just submitted 87 pages of excellence from this sites input.. hahah

87 pages to me that was a little overkill cause they will not look at more then minimum required.

Ours was just about too thick for the jumbo clips too. I'm sure ours was 87 if not more BUT contained everything necessary. 

Don't stress about overkill/padding. The more evidence the better and don't forget some may need to submit documents of evidence for criminal charges in response to Part 3. Be nice... not everyone's case is as simple as most ❤

@Murph4865 thank you again! One more I did receive an email with my receipt code and said they will be sending my acceptance form I-797 with the recynumber and to wait for that before checking status. Us that the Noa or just a recipient numbr?

I797 is noa 1 (notice of acceptance)  

 

I'm guessing that's your WAC number (if it starts with that it is your WAC number) and that's the number you can use to check your status online or in the apps.

Ours was really thick too! I’ve always heard from lawyers that with immigration, it’s “guilty until proven innocent” because there is so much fraud with K1 visas. So good job! Better safe than sorry. It’s the “bare bone” applications that get tossed to the side and RFE.

Check cleared on the 24th but no email/text or noa1 yet...anything to worry about?

Hi guys one again.

 

After uncountable hours trying to figure out how to do this, and some more actually doing it, I think I finally found a way to see, day by day, how the processing time from Received to Approved evolves over the time. It's been 3 long days, but I'm on vacation this week and finally got the time to finish it.

 

Below is a graph with the average processing time of all cases received every considered day and approved within the next 173 days from each of those days.

 

Example: For all cases received the 3rd of April I calculated the average processing time of all of those cases approved within the next 173 days from that day; from 04/03/17 to 09/23/17. The same goes for all cases received the 4th of April, but only considering approvals up to 09/24/17, and so on.

 

The explanation for it being 173 days is that that is the amount of days from the last day considered 05/31/17 up to the last scan available 11/20/17.

 

It was important to do it this way because this time I'm comparing all days individually, hence they had to be considered under the same circumstances. As in my previous graphs, only updated cases could be used for these results.

 

The interpretation is pretty easy and I think it gives a very good idea of (at last!) what the tendency is being (which was the whole purpose of going into so much trouble ). I will only say that April has some pretty inconsistent days for which I don't have a clear answer (maybe they assigned each of those days' cases to faster or slower adjudicators?? I simply don't know). Also the original April file had to be manually modified (thanks again to Naes!), although I'm not sure that had anything to do with it.

 

As for May, it is much consistent and appears to show some stabilization after that nightmarish growth, which hopefully means what we all want to see, the first beams of light at the end of the tunnel.

Ok thank you. So if i don't receive a noa1, how would i get the receipt number?

You wait until the hard copy of the NOA1 comes in the mail with your receipt number on it. The NOA1 IS your receipt number. 

You will only receive a text/email advising you of your receipt number if you attached form G1145 to the front of your petition. And even if you did fill out G1145 and you still haven’t received the text/email there is nothing you can do (to look up your account activity on USCIS online) until you have that receipt number. So basically you wait.

They cleared your check right? So that means you WILL receive an NOA1 in the mail. Relax for now, too soon.
