Very much patient and I know that they are processing many petitions...all depending on who has it.....

FWIW, I tossed the approved petitions from Igor's List for last November (that was just the first month; nothing special in that choice) into Excel and got the latest NOA2 for each day... they ranged from May 29 to Sept 18. And the first approvals for each day were in late April or early May.

Well folks it's November the month we have mostly been waiting for let's all do a collective prayer/wish that this new month brings us some action!!!!!

Here’s to hoping and wishing!! 😁

My timeline changed AGAIN, It says we should hear something between today and November 8.... I feel like this will make me more upset if I don't get an email or anything at this point from uscis…

we have the same noa1. im waiting and watching when you will be approved. i dont want to except too much and when i woke the next day no update yet.

I'm so happy to see other people getting approved but at the same time this process drowns you to  bits.... 

And this timeline thing is even more disappointing because if you don't get it by the time this say you might, there goes another hope out of the door. 

I don't know at this point... 

 

I hope we receive some good news.... 🙏

I think last year someone ran numbers and saw something like 40% of couples here got approved within a week of their VJ estimate (excluding those that never update their timeline).

 

Our range is now starting on the 24th; would have to go back another three days to get before Thanksgiving.

If I have waited 6 months, I can wait another 8 days... I think they have forgotten us... god knows where our files are...

I thought we had the same NOA1 date so I was like "wow, the timeline changed hugely!" but then I actually looked and you have the 25th in and I have the 31st (I went with our new site date instead of old).  Maybe it gives me a better chance to be surprised with an "early" approval.

We do; I have the old site date on my timeline, but we're May 25 received/May 31 notice on the paper form.

Gotcha - we are date twins like I thought!

 

Small data set, but the range for recent Canada approvals is 172-188 days.  Based on that, I'll start hoping for something starting around November 13 and going through to December 5, with the sweet spot being in around November 20-26.  

 

No control over the situation means just do statistical analysis on it and hope for the best lol.

179 days! I deleted applications and I stopped checking online. I saw May 17 got approval and we’re May 7 lol. I’m not gonna expect this November. Looking forward by December. Someone called and they says if 7 months no approval yet just call them back again to remind lol. Wt* life is so unfair 😓

Hi Rizza

I understand the aproval takes between 5,5 months and 7 months.

You are doing well.

Be patient & lets hope for the best always
