Hi Dear,

 

Don't put so much hope on the Timeline. Mine estimated April 14-19th but I got my NOA2 yesterday, April 4th. That's 10 days before the estimate.

I will keep that in mind and Congratulations to you

Hi Guys!

 

I'm an October filer who has been approved (NOA2). My NOA1 was 10/06/2017 with an estimated NOA2 as early as April 10 BUT I got approved 04/02/2018 so I'm not saying VJ is incorrect but it's an estimation. Your estimated date can fluctuate but always keep an eye on it because it gives an idea of how far ahead the USCIS is with all cases. Also lurking on other threads helps a lot! Be sure to make an account with the newer USCIS site: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

 

 

I had the same feelings you guys have right now when they were approving September cases but it all worked out. The best advice I can give is to be patient and not worry about it too much. Remember that regardless of what the USCIS is doing, you have the love of your life

Ok guys on a serious note. My friends are going through the same thing but his fiance apparently smokes weed or did till about a few weeks ago. It looks like they won't be approved till July anyways but he is worried if she says yes on the medical questionnaire  they will ban her. He thinks she should just say no I haven't done drugs and hope they don't test her. Course he asks my opinion and I'm honest abe over here. What should I tellhim? Do they always drug test?

I believe it varies in different countries.  My understanding is the bulk of the testing is for STD related things and not for drugs.  There may or may not be a question about drug addiction, which could be open to personal interpretation.  Like I said though, I'm pretty sure it varies between countries.

Yea I can't agree more than this ... what on VJ is only estimate, we saw i.e. John and Rose that heard something from USCIS far beyond after their timeline.

 

my timeline has passed too... So really VJ's timeline is really nothing you can rely on..

but at least it's little more reliable than USCIS timeline LOL !!

Checking every day our timeline and it skipped from 19 May back to 20 May. Whyyyy? There are so many approvals from the last two days This waiting game makes me sick at the moment. I hate every second of waiting. Haven't seen my fiance for more than two years now (except skype which is not the same). I miss him so awfully!

 

Sorry for whining

Btw. are any other German November filers here?

Hi i am also a nov filer! My fiancé lives in Germany but is originally from Ghana. Im not sure if that makes a difference, but he will be interviewing in Germany!

Really funny... as that was from days and pages ago.....

 

people have time to read drama and poke finger on someone else’s frustration...then they can apparently read the answers for questions....

 

I try to keep up with the forum as much as I can I have been reading since I filed in November. I saw that guys post and I wanted to say something but didn't. Then someone else reacted so I felt to put my opinion in. And like I said if I have a new question im not going to read back to make sure the question was already answered. This forum if for information not notification when others get their updates because it directly has nothing to do with you. So if someone asks for information either answer it or dont wasn't your time telling the person to read back because eventually they will either get their questions answered or ask somewhere else.

Umm maybe read all or none as my advice to that was turning off notifications... again apparently people have time to read but also chosing what to read....

 

overall I have said nothing about what you said in content, I just made a point.

Hello November Filers, it's not yet our time, but I wanted to say a few things.

 

I will be doing the November scans and keeping us all updated on our cases.  Thanks to @Naes for all the hard work for ALL of the months so far, and now that she's got her Approval, it's time to help free up some of her time and I volunteered to help out with November.  I will be keeping an eye on the cases and after it looks like they've actually gotten started on November, then I will start posting daily updates for everyone. I suspect we still have a few weeks to go before they get started, but I know our time is coming! 

 

Initially, it does look like there were a few random cases touched up to this point, which could be for a variety of reasons. 

We had 3580 cases to start out with, though after some initial rejections for bad applications and withdrawals, we're now left with 3352, 19 of those being approved.

 

There were a  very small number of cases approved / sent for RFE during the last few days of March, but it's been quiet since then. 

 

Here is the chart as it stands as of 4/6: 

(The y-axis will be fixed on future charts to start at 0 instead of 75)

 

 

Please bear with me as I get into the swing of this, and don't hesitate to ask questions or let me know if there's something that would work better for you!
