YAY! Another Aussie!

Thats so awesome that your fiancé can come out here while on her school break!

 

I last saw my fiancé in January when he was out here (and proposed) but I’m heading over next month for a vacation (probably the last visit until the move) but I’m super excited!

 

It looks like we only filed slightly before you guys so I’ll be sure to let know how the process goes when we receive our NOA2.  

I noticed that you said you were going to visit your fiance in the US. Are you worried at all that they may not let you through immigration? What are you planning to take with you for the immigration part? I'm only asking because I would really like to go visit my fiancé next time so that he doesn't have to keep being the one to come out, bit I'm just worried about being hassled at immigration.

Guys, do you think POE Dec is possible based on our current timeline? 

Very possible

Hi guys. I'm really struggling the last few days and missing my sweetheart so much. I've been okay up to now after a string of regular visits but it's going to be a while until we see eachother now. I know there's nothing we can do except wait but thought I'd just have a bit of a whine on here seeing as you all know how it feels. My family/friends are great support but they don't know the true struggle

Hi Guys!

 

Sorry for taking a while, I am trying to closeup my accounts and taxes as I will be leaving Japan in a week (can't believe finally!!!)

I need scanners to come up because I accidentally deleted most of my messages!! Some could have been from volunteers from February to April.

Please PM me if you have been around for a while and understand what these are and how things work. Please know that even though it starts as a fun thing, it is highly time consuming and stressful.

 

 

As the new system came out, old system does not really update much. I estimated by comparing USCIS official reports for quarter 1 that we saw 30% of approvals as silent, and recently with the implementation of the new system (new website) it looks like this number is decreasing.

 

Scans (and case tracker app) are using the old site for reference, therefore the number of cases in the places that we can see, can no longer be considered for a good reference point.

However, the dates are more important than the number of cases we see that has movement in order to guesstimate how far they go, and when the next month can start.

 

Please use these two websites to check your personal cases:

Old website, same info as apps: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

New website need to log in: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov

 

There are also cases that are totally silent and never get any update, and/or gets updated really late; it is advised to register for USPS informed delivery if your area is covered.

USPS INFORMED DELIVERY - https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

 

Monthly Status:

 

Explanation:

Excluded: Rejected and withdrawn cases (I just put here for reference - does not matter to you as long as you have your wac number and noa1 receipt)

Virgin: Never been touched (case status never changed from "case was received")

Touched : Any update (Such as RFE, name update, birthdate update etc..)

Approved: (IF YOU ARE SEEING AN APPROVAL ON A MONTH THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO START YET, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY AN EXPEDITE. I did check... it is... if you want to dream please do so but I just don't want to see anyone get disappointed.)

 

I am putting from June 2017, because there are still members waiting. However Those Virgin numbers are lower that they seem.

 

	Approved	Virgin	Touched	Excluded	Total
June 17	1951	768	838	484	4041
July 17	1606	986	719	485	3796
Aug 17	1644	1180	755	496	4075
Sep 17	1498	992	751	357	3598
Oct 17	1374	1427	1037	304	4142
Nov 17	646	2069	617	245	3577
Dec 17	12	3184	93	220	3509
Jan 18	3	3291	96	182	3572
Feb 18	5	3527	92	184	3808
Mar 18	1	4015	63	293	4372
Total	8740	21439	5061	3250	38490

isn't the point of the k1 visa supposed to be a faster way for our significant others to get here, if i knew the wait was going to possibly be extended to 7-9 months i should have just gotten married and applied for the CR1 Visa and called it a day i swear  

LOL
We have all been there man.
Yes, it WAS supposed to be faster but that's not happening.
But you have applied. So sit tight. Focus on ur fiance and this will all end before you know it

Everyone says it will be over before you know.. Which isn't true.. Sadly and practically 5 more months left to see my fiance.. Could be 6,7 god knows.. Everyday seems like a week. We applied with the same intent that k1 will be fastert then getting married and applying. This time is killing me from inside.. Knowing that this gonna last for another couple of months kills me even more

Sadly @Naes by the time they get to us I don't foresee them putting any info in the old site. Hitch I assume takes away the scan function. We will all just have to wait for our numbers to appear. 

 

Thanks for for all ur input and assistance thru out every month. With out u people would be lost or banging there heads off the walls. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes I do think that way too.. still I'd like to leave the info out there if anyone needs. I'll be around if anything

Stop thinking about it. The more u think about it, the more time crawls, I promise you that.

I went 14 months, to the day, without seeing my fiance (based on work schedule and other shenanigans). Worst thing ever. But they're here now and I tell you- I don't remember a day of those 14 months
It's gonna happen for you too. 

Get busy. Do things you love. If you're the beneficiary, spend time with family and friends as these might be a while before u see them again.

 

4-6 months in the grand scheme of life isn't anything. remember that 
Sending y'all some strength 

Also, P.S.
Please update your timeline. It makes everything a lot easier for everybody

Yeah. I was thinking to celebrate my birthday with her on 1st August too. May be we can get approval before that. Don't know how much time it will take. Keep up the smile on your face. This wait will be over soon
