Hello everyone. We sent our packet on April, 2018. The only people who I've read here have received their approval this month, is February filers so definitely the process is taking for most: 6 months. We will be approved on October for sure... Positive vibes only! God bless everybody!

Last week was the first week for February filers. Over the next couple of weeks it will ramp up for us. Then some will still be waiting to hear. 

U guys should start seeing approvals in about 7 weeks from now.. 

good luck and stay busy. Best thing u can do...

11 days til I see my fiancé, hoping Chicago customs are nicer to me than usual. Going armed with ties to home evidence just in case as they've previously given me the third degree and that's prior .to visa filing.

Hi everyone, 

 

I've just found that forum and it's a weight off my shoulders there's a whole family who feels the same pain. 😜

 

USCIS received our l-129F on April 24th and the NOA1's date is April 27th. 

 

My fiance visited me in July/August for 2,5 weeks and got back to the States last week. I'm wondering if there's any chance to spend Christmas together if our application is going to be approved in November or December.. Anyone? :)

 

Cheers!

Marta

Has anyone from April received any RFE's yet as of now?  Or maybe too soon?  It'd be great if nobody received an RFE, but just was curious.  Thank you! :-)
