@Nicola and Jordan Congratz guys!! Glad to hear You got approved!

On the other hand, i spoke with Tier 2. Finally. Got couple updates. The Rep was extremely nice, though felt like in a hurry so i didn't want to hold him up too long.
He said my case is in CSC and was assigned to the officer (?) and is being processed. He said he can't estimate how long exactly it will take, but from his experience he said no longer than two weeks, though he's obliged to tell 45 days, since it's still within normal processing window.
Then he proceeded to explain that CSC at the moment is extremely backed up and they are doing their best to catch up. On top of that he said that March is one of the most piled up months from past 12months so it might take some time. Although he said that they are currently processing end of February, some people from march will start getting decisions, as some officers are appointed to catch up and do the more recent ones, hence the recent approvals. So overall, he said i'm alright, and he see's no RFE or anything on his end just the word "Processing/Pending", which he explained could mean that the Officer is currently working, OR he has the box with all the applications in his office and mine is just waiting to be processed by officer.

Hope this gives some hope and a lift in mood.
I'm March 19th old, March 23rd New.

Hold on guys!
best,
P

The old website lets you search any case. So just increase or decrease your case number in the URL after you search by 1. For example https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do?appReceiptNum=WACXXXXXXXX1.  Try https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do?appReceiptNum=WACXXXXXXXX0 or https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do?appReceiptNum=WACXXXXXXXX2

I really don't know if there is value in doing so. Just something else to obsess over 😄

Ohh this was a nice idea ...i jus checked all the series (WACxxxxxxxx51 to WACxxxxxxx62) and seems like thr are 11 cases for march 19 NOA1 and all are pending ....none is approved yet...something to feel lil less worry now...i guess thy havnt picked up march 19 cases yet

There are many who are receiving their NOA2.

1. Have you checked your birth certificate for correctness. This is the time to get it corrected. The Philippines is notorious in making mistakes on official documents.

2. Have you lived in another country for more than 6 months from the age of 16. If so you will need a Police Clearance from each country. They take awhile so it's best to get started now.

3. Here are some of the other items that are needed.

 

Completed Form DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. You (and any eligible children applying for K-2 visas) must: (1) complete Form DS-160 and (2) print the DS-160 confirmation page to bring to your interview. 

• A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the U.S. (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions).
• Divorce or death certificate(s) of any previous spouse(s) for both you and the U.S. citizen sponsor
• Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)
• Medical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below)
• Evidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, may be requested)
• Two (2) 2x2 photographs. See the required photo format explained in Photograph Requirements
• Evidence of relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e)
• Payment of fees, as explained below

Note: The consular officer may ask for additional information, such as photographs and other proof that the relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) is genuine. Documents in foreign languages, other than the language of the country in which the application takes place, should be translated. Applicants should take to the visa interview clear, legible photocopies of civil documents and translations, such as birth and divorce certificates. Original documents and translations will be returned.

 

These are only the basic items. Please check with your Embassy Instructions for further requirements.

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

 

There are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them.

 

Also, there is another place you can go and follow others who are processing the same time you are and for the same Embassy. Go to the blue ribbon at the top of this page and select "portals". Scroll down the left-hand side of the page till you get to VJ "your country's name" Timelines. Just below it you'll see "K-1" so you select it and out pops a window with others from your country.

Wow! Looked like a popular day. It is out of our hands. Just have to wait for it. I'm distracted with trying to buy a new home also. That helps ease the wait some.
