Yes, someone from november 1st did get approved. there might be more but the USCIS system is still down, so scans are behind.

False. Someone with a November 1 submitted date received an approval but not received date which is the date we go by here as well as the date we go by in scans . Attention to detail 😀

 

we are close through! Hopefully today

Hi @Deehotstepper How did you know they started processing November? If you don't mind me asking  

I have been reading the posts in october and november to keep up with USCIS approval dates.

What I've been doing to clicking "Processing Times" at the top, then taking the California Service Center Processing Status link.  (This link does not show up in all browsers.  It shows up in Internet Explorer )  It will list the last 15 people receiving NOA2.  If I read correctly there are two K1 filers with NOA1 dates of November 1 and 2.  The direct link is http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=1&visa=1&scenter=1&option=2&sortby=2

I'm a newbie so I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Very well could be on Novemebr but nothing has showed on the scans that are done on uscis servers. Some people could have entered their submitted date as their noa1 whereas we at vj and uscis go by received date. Submitted date is earlier than the received date.   And maybe they received a silent noa2 (doesn’t show on scan and they receive in mail).  In either case they are close

I guess it depends on how accurate vj timeline dates are entered.  I'm confused about whether the NOA1 date should be received date or notice date.  I initially set it up as received date (01/26) but then changed to notice date (01/31) after reading other messages on the forum.  Now I'm thinking 01/26 was correct.  I'm not familiar with what uscis pages are being scanned.

1/26 is correct. On the scans it’s by received date which is on the noa1. It does not go my notice date.

 

The new app is also showing a submitted date which I think is causing a bit of confusion.

Today is marking the 100 days since our NOA1!!! I'm so excited and time flies so faaasssst and I'm going to see my fiance in two days. We're meeting in Bali and we're going to spend 10 days around the island before flying to Jakarta and we're going to Bogor and take a boat to a small private island in the north of Jakarta to enjoy Robinson Crusoe's style pre-honeymoon hahaha I can't wait. Enjoy your time, friends. The tropical island breeze  is something I would really miss once I'm in the US!!!

They haven’t started it yet. Hopefully today. You can follow the November thread and see. Someone with a nov 1 submitted date had an approval but that was not the received date.  For starting a month for VJ we go by received date here not submitted date as that’s what shows up in scans.

Thank you!

Thanks, @Snuffles. Enjoy all the things you would miss from Australia. It might be the footy or local beer or whatever hahaha our time will come soon or later. There's no use keep digging out the potty soil to check it from time to time after we planted our seed. The plant will grow nevertheless. We just have to trust the process. And oh never compare your plant with others

 They might sprout sooner than ours but it will grow on the Divine time. Enjoy it!

Oh girl. I am so excited for you. Relate to the feeling you would be seeing the love of your life after for so long 😍. *sigh 

 

Enjoy your vacation and Savour each moment being with each other.

How long since you saw your fiance, @S&JW? I visited him on March and now his turn visiting me. Planning about things in the future keep us on toes and anticipating. But I also believe that we have to savor the present moment. To me it's enjoying crazy traffic in Jakarta on motorcycle ride, eating local street food I wouldn't find in SF, spending time with my family and friends, complaining on how hot and humid the weather today with people I start the conversation with, enjoying my own bed without worrying someone would kick me out of bed or steal my blanket and most of it all is enjoying speaking in my language! I don't see why we should be worried about the future when we have so many things to enjoy now 😁
