This happened to me last night ( around 7pm 11/1) a green icon with site maintenance also.  After checking everywhere old and new uscis...nothing.  

Right, I checked everywhere and a few times. I'm hoping to see an approval soon. I keep seeing people all around and after my date getting approved. I keep reminding myself that it's only the first few days of November and that is keeping me calm right at least for now lol

Yeah; not being able to really plan anything is probably the most difficult thing about this; if you know it's going to take a specific long amount of time, then you can plan additional in-person meetings while you wait without worrying that you'd miss the first available time for an interview appointment or something like that. Even assuming you stay within normal processing times, there's a two month window for NOA2. Seems like about 3 weeks between min and max normal processing time at NVC. And for us, Anastasia might be able to get an interview in Moscow a month after our petition gets there, or it might take three.

Exactly. There's always that min-max window time for each steps, plus and minus couple of days or weeks (holiday, weekend, adjudicators call in sick or off duty, etc)... 

It gets harder now when you think you're close but not really sure whether you ARE close or not. You know. 😅

I am using your same mentality, but when you see a May 21 approval it kinda blows that thinking out of the water!!!!!

Yeah, but there's maybe 30% approval of May 14th overall right now.  The May 21 is really a statistical outlier.

People. Please do not post your personal information such as case numbers, approval number or phone numbers. It's not a wise decision to do so.

Indeed not!  An attachment with a case number has been removed.

Yes it does! It makes it a little harder. I'm at 177 days as of today and so ready to get that NOA2!

I checked my status about 5 minutes ago. I came here to read the updates. I saw multiple people get approvals. I refreshed. WE GOT APPROVED! May 14th i129f received. November 2nd approved.  She just went back to Ireland after 2 month stay with me here in the states. She returned on November 1st. AND WE GOT APPROVED THE DAY AFTER SHE LANDED! This couldn't have been planned better. We couldn't be happier. The sad goodbye tears are already replaced by happy tears. We self-submitted to Texas office.

Feeling a bit down, looked on the New site and searched my case number. Still nothing but I looked both up and down and 10 before me were either approved or sent for RFE and some a few after mine also approved....

I feel you. We have the same dates and I’ve still heard nothing. But stay positive!!  

A month ago my timeline was saying I wouldn’t likely hear anything until mid November so look at it like anything before that is a blessing. And even if it’s over that time, it will happen! 

Congrats to those that have heard and for those who haven’t we’ll hear soon I’m sure ❤️

And there in lies the problem and solution. Let's say you were not aware of a May 21 approval. What would your thinking be then? Just as it was. They are still working on my case and I should be hearing something soon. No disappointment. Simple solution, don't look. Keep busy. Your creating your own disappointment. Just keeping it real.

Just received a RFE. NOA1 05/03.

 

No text, no email. Only the old site and the app. The new site still says “case received”. Hopefully it’s something easy.

Can you please give me the link to the new site and old site? Which is more reliable when it comes to checking? Old site or the new? TIA
