Hi J! - I understand the frustration, I think everybody does here too. The wait is the worst and worrying in inevitable. I myself worry because we forgot to put in intent to marry statement but we did put in our wedding plans so I'm just hoping here not to get an RFE. We already set a wedding date nov 10 and we are not even sure if we will make it. Talking to venues/vendors is really hard, imagine the stress. LOL.   

Sorry to be the messenger of bad news but failure to include LOI will get you a RFE.  Just have everything prepared once the RFE comes

I received an email from USCIS stating they are still reviewing my case and there are no updates....BUT its also said they last took action on my case June 8th!

 

Does this mean they are working on it?

Hey, 

 

I have been wandering about these emails people say they get when they last took action on cases. I’m signed up on the new site and pretty sure ive selected in my options ‘updates’ and my email address. I get no emails about when they last took action on our case. May I ask how or what you need to do to get these emails?

I signed up for this months ago, but this morning is the first email I got. 

 

January will probably start seeing these emails coming in more.

 

However I did request a congressional inquiry, and my congressman reached out to USCIS, however they responded with the generic massage that they are processing cases, 5-7 months and I am still within normal processing time. Maybe that's what June 8th touch is...

Ah ok! Got ya! Yeah we holding off on reaching out to Congress for enquiry support until our official enquiry date 07/24 as per USCIS website. I would only assume a bog standard response in respect of their 5-7 month processing times on the web. I’d rather use it once we hit 210 days. Every day now feels like a week since they’ve started December 😂😂😂

 

Thanks for letting me know. Patiently waiting for the USCIS to reach or even slightly touch the Dec 20’s by at least July. Officially hit our 6 month mark on Tuesday Day 182. Patiently waiting 

 

Good luck

Wasn’t that like only 1 case? But I meant i think it will be early July at the bare minimum until they get get a good touch and on the 20’s. I don’t believe I’ll hear anything until at least 07/06 +

The 20th one was only a "Name has been updated", the approval is awhile back, expedited case.

 

They've just gotten started on the 15th a tad, but even before that most days are less 25% done.

What worries me is that it's vacation season and with fourth of July coming up there's going to be a setback with the processing. 

[Chair_force1 195]

I think realistically, we are all looking at end of July and mid August.  There are still so

many untouched December petitions.  Be patient everyone, the wait continues 😏

March filer.  The wait time

from october 2017 to march 31

2018 has increased to 7.7 according to uscis old website.  Not good news for any of us.  Truthfully almost 8 months is ridiculous because last year was 3-4 and the new rules should not have alowed them down that much.

This happens all the time
K1 processing times has fluctuated a lot the past few years
I think those that applied in like 2014 took about 200 days and that's what it is taking now. But those from early 2017 got NOA2 in like 3-4 months. 
It's a luck of the draw. Be patient. It's coming

SERIOUSLY....makes me regret not filing sooner...oh well waited this long the next couple of months shouldn't hurt as much....(that's me trying to convince myself )
