I agree! Looking at case tracker there are over 150 cases that are June 22 and only 18 of them have been “touched” seems crazy to move on to July with still so much of June not approved.

If they wanted to show some speed up due to complaints they should have statistically touched the newest cases because June and even us, borderline June/July are either close to or already over 6 months. We will not improve their picture then why bother. And if the range is 4.5 to 7 months now, going as low as 4.5 just in a couple of months, there is no way I can believe the long processing times are due to pending background checks. In January processing was 6 to 7.5 months, so what is so special about July and August filers that their adjudication with background checks takes only 4.5 months? There was a shutdown in January 2018, there probably will be shutdown now again.

Well, I think it's time to leave June 2018 K1 filers and move on to the NVC thread, more complaining than I can handle. Good luck to everyone.

Case Was Received

On June 27, 2018, we received your Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Receipt Number WACxxxxxxxxxxxx, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by July 27, 2018, contact the USCIS Contact Center at www.uscis.gov/contactcenter.

According to the my case status, it says June 27 was the the date USCIS received my petition, however my NOA1 states July 2, 2018 as my recipient date. Which of these two dates should I use to check my expectant Approval Date?

EVERY case is DIFFERENT. No two cases are the same. No two couples are the same. No one individual is the same. So, it's natural that the cases will be adjudicated differently as well as the outcomes.

You can use either. They are only within 5 days of each other. The timelines are guesstimation only so having the exact date is not going to improve or slow down your progress.

We all know that there are three possible outcomes: an approval, a straightforward or through an RFE, a denial and 'lost' in what is explained as background checks, which may take forever in no particular reference to anything. We also know that adjudicators spend a total time like an hour at most working on a case, if not minutes. They will not be able to spend days even if they would sleep at their desks. The same with the embassy, they also have very limited time and for whichever reason prefer doing background checks afterwards (this may make sense though). All adjudicators shall follow a unified procedure/policy/whatever they have to follow and the idea of that policy is that no case is lost, all cases are attended to in prescribed time or in reasonable time if no time is prescribed and everyone is treated equally regardless of how unique their case is. This is how public service works, or at least should work. Therefore, it is absolutely unnatural for a public service to adjudicate different applications differently, it undermines the very idea of a public service.

Now I remember, we've been down this road before. I concluded we should agree to disagree. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
