January 2018 Filers

[2018JNJ 141]

I received my letter of receipt in the mail yesterday.  They have the submitted date of Dec. 29th, the day the application was mailed.

So I'm either one of the last December filers or one the first January filers.

:-)

Check your wac status from their website,and use that date.

That is also suppose to be the samedate as the receipt date on your noa1

Great News! Just received my NOA1. Is everything getting sent to California automatically now? Are all the service centers the same time lengths?

Congrats, welcome to the wait.

 

Yes All K1 goes to CSC (California), if a case has a criminal background check or such it may get transferred to Vermont. 

Other Service centers timelines does not have any affect on yours.

California currently working on mainly June approvals of all dates, and July first week just showed movement this week.

 

Average wait looks like 180-210 days, however July has less cases than most months so we are hoping this would get shorter.

And normally winter months go faster, so we are hoping to see some improvement (but we were expecting that for July too,,, so no promises)

It's normal as far as I know.

 

mine didn't have it either (and it's not a long name or anything)

I'm sure it isn't! Who knows what'll happen in the next few months!

 

Meanwhile USPS still hasn't delivered our packet to USCIS, yesterday was our delivery date but it's still 'in transit' :'(

 

Ah well, it'll hopefully turn up next week...

I didn't finish the December cases yet (working up to December 12), and for January cases I won't start till they finish January and put all the January data- which usually takes a week. But I thought some may like to read it so I'm re-posting from other months!

Hello everyone!

 

I'm back..

To tell the truth going to see the fiancé and my future home, and coming back made me a little bit sad and more depressed than I was before I went... complicated times this is!

 

The cats are happily settled.... way too happily to tell the truth! 

They did not even check or look at the cats when we were entering through LAX (This changes depending on the state - California doesn't ask for anything from cats)

I can't believe so many people from June and even May friends are still waiting for NOA2...actually no, no ... I can't believe so many people are still waiting for NVC.

 

I won't be able to give a good weekly yet, as they are not updating properly.

Which I am guessing they are not comfortable with us telling them 

"Dude you are so not doing June 1 cases"

 

So I updated all the months even under the current circumstances, 

to give an idea of how much pending case we have left.

-------

Non-updated Noa2s

However, my personal thoughts after seeing how the cases flow and update/non-update works.

I believe June virgins are actually around 1300s, and some July cases will get their approval in the upcoming week without an update.

 

NVC Wait

Right now average looks like 45+ days, you can also find list we are putting together in my signature if you want to check how that wait is going at the moment. This wait is caused because USCIS is not sending Approved petitions, it is not a wait happening at the NVC level.

-------

I will be watching the situation through this week, to have better updates, and information on how things look.

 

Monthly situation is as follows;

(December is on works)

	June	July	Aug	Sept	Oct	Nov	Total
Approved	946	15	13	6		1	981
Virgin (Untouched)	1884	3263	3519	3176	3770	3304	18916
Touched (RFEs,Updates)	853	135	139	129	128	67	1451
Excluded	358	383	404	287	244	205	1881
Total	4041	3796	4075	3598	4142	3577	23229

 

For months after August,

I would say watch for when they update the website information to July 1.

Because the "as of" they'll give will show us if they will try and speed up their approvals.

We already know October 31 update is not really truth, however they did by then touched all May cases. so the real update for the next one normally should be July 1 as of December 31 (which is not exactly correct either), However I expect if they actually speed up the process they may give us a July 1 as of November 30 update!

 

*For anyone who didn't do it yet, please get informed delivery if it's available in your area.

 

Google drive for Monthly data:

*For December cases I am gathering the info right now and will be up in a few days in this same folder

PS_I don't put this post in June, or May. Because they have a lot to deal with right now already. And there was no information that can help them at the moment. When upset and angry let's all remember that we are all in the same boat here. Good luck to all of us.

You should check the poverty guidelines in the uscis web site, it depend on the state you're living and the number of your dependants. And it is your annual income so it doesn't have any connection to how long you're working somewhere.

Welcome to the wait. 

 

if your received date (receipt date) is December 29th you would be in December filers. 

Check your status online with your case number and the date it shows there will be your receipt date (also on noa1 paper)
