I left my original time line as it was the first time around so I could compare it to our current filing. You can check it out 

wow... 3.5 months from sending paperwork to interview... they have slowed down to a ridiculous pace now!

5/21 afternoon - Our letter was pick up by the mail man 

 

5/22, Tues - Congress staff received the letter 

 

*the person assigned to us works only Tues and Thursday 

 

5/24, Thurs - We called the Congress if they have any updates and said they already talked to USCIS and they will contact us next week for more update.

 

5/25, we got approved. 

 

Though the scans show 1 approved last May 22, with a earliest WAC number *46726. Mine is one of the very last WAC number in November 9the cases, *4709_.  Im waiting for more post of approval from Nov 9th cases to validate if our case got touched because of the help. I think the help from Congress did it. But it could be anytime next week for you or a silent NOA2. 

Update:

5/29 - We received in the mail today the I-797 Notice of Action with Notice Date of 5/24/2018

 

In the new website site said we are approved 5/25 but the notice letter says 5/24.

Here's a chart showing known numbers vs 30% silent estimates (traditional) vs 50% silent estimates (possibly new era?).  The truth of how many are silent is somewhere between these two numbers.

 

Today was our 5th best day for overall number of updates, but our 2nd best day for total approvals... so - I choose to believe coupled with the chart, that the trend is improving.

I know everyone who hasn't heard an answer yet is frustrated, especially those who've had to see lots of approvals pas their own date. 

Back in July filers, people were waiting 220+ regularly, so we just have to tell ourselves at least it's getting better.

 

I really do think this week is going to be great, and next week too...
