🤔 I promised fiancé taco Bell’s orange tacos, she wants to try it as her first meal here so before cuddling we’d probably buy taco bell first and eat while I stare at her 😅,

I know it, I think it only makes us more sure what we want..  I hope we all get that NOA2 soon.

If your relationship can survive this process, it will be a strong relationship. You can always remind yourself of how bad you wanted to be together and that you should never take for granted that you are finally together.

Today marks our 6 months... hoping for an approval soon. And for many of you still waiting

 Called and spoke to tier 2 an immigration officer for the first time. I knew more than her. End of story

I am a filer from the second week of October.  I asked my Senator to look into the status of my application.  He said it is "Pending Review"  and should be completed in 45 to 60 days.  My questions are:  1)  Is "Pending Review" a normal status?  2)  Is the 45 to 60 days to completion given just so I don't bother him again?

Thanks.

Damn... even a Senator gets a bureaucratic answer!  USCIS doesn't play.

That’s pretty much what they told me when I called. They pretty much gave them the date for when you can submit an inquiry based on the processing times

This is a standard USCIS response.   As of now,  the USCIS asks that Petitioners do not submit inquiries into the status of their case if the case was submitted after September 12, 2017.   If your I-129f was submitted after that date, you are considered to be within normal processing time.  To inquire before then will not get you much attention and you will be asked to wait before your next attempt.   This is standard response by the USCIS.   Pending Review basically means that your I-129F has been received and has yet to be reviewed.

 

You can monitor here when the USCIS considers your case to be "outside of normal processing" times.

Im not trying to say ignore the October Filers and hurry up and move to November im simply stating that im excited for them as it means my case is around the corner and that if they are on the 16th/17th everyone's time is near and me replying to the "really" was just me replying to let them know to have hope and that their case is coming soon.  I have also been posting updates to help users in October with any new cases i find on Facebook that have been silent approvals. As for discussing things in the October forums i don't see an issue. if December filers posted in November i wouldn't mind as i know that they would of processed or touched my case. We are all in the same boat really

 

And as for what i said people here for 6 months already know there are new members / new joiners that wont know that information so im just giving them hope and helping them stay positive that we have all been waiting this long and our turn will be very soon.

Your estimate would be of great help to November 2017 - April 2018 Filers!

 

Truth Be Told, October 2017 Filers don't need such epistle.

 

WE WANT TO HEAR PHRASES Like;

 

'APPROVED!'

'NVC #!',

 

CLAUSES Like;

 

'HANG IN THERE SWEET, NOA2 IS COMING!'

'I HAVE SCHEDULED MY MEDICAL/INTERVIEW!'

 

Seriously, we've spent 6 months waiting, lurking, researching, sending muffins to USCIS and hoping for these Days. So, we know about Estimates!

 

Thanks anyway for taking back to 1860.🙄
