They must be pushing the narrative that they are now following what the USCIS website states what date they are processing which does you no good as by that interruption you will always be within processing time. Out of processing is 5 months. I wish I had that link to that information but I can't find it now.

Yeah, I think they're overwhelmed and trying to find a "convenient' way to reduce the workload. Pushes it back to me and causes me unnecessary work, but I'll appeal and hopefully get moving forward again... 😉

My RFE referenced a Unique Number.  I figured it must be in reference to the WAC# or the A#, both of which are on the RFE notice, and it states that the original notice needs to be included when you return the RFE.  I understood it to be a reason for why you need to make sure to include the original RFE notice in your response--so they have something to identify which file to add it to.  Here's what mine says:

Oh thanks for the enlightenment. Just checked ours(RFE letter) and yes an A-number is indicated. Does this mean that this will be our identification number all throughout our immigration process?

The A# once assigned to you stays with you like a SSN stays with you. It's your unique number. I don't know why they don't call a spade a spade. Oye Vy

So i rang this morning, as i do every morning but today I was greeted with news that we were approved yesterday at Day 229. 

 

No update via text or email also no update to the old or new site but NOA2 is in the mail. I had opened an inquiry for outside of standard processing times on 8/20 and got a generic reply on 8/30 but this was the first proper update i have gotten..... and it was the approval!!

 

To anyone still waiting keep the faith as hopefully all January filers will be approved very soon. Also does anyone have the link for the Sept NVC thread and i hope to see you there very very soon.

Alright guys it happened, we got APPROVED!

I called this morning and the agent seem reluctant to give me any information after I told her I was the beneficiary. She asked what I wanted and I very kindly said that we're reaching 8 months and the last thing we heard was that our case was received. She then said we were approved. I then asked if she was sure lol she said she was. Then I said its because we've been waiting so long that I wanted to make sure. She then proceeded to tell me that it was approved yesterday and went to to repeat my case number and repeat our names and birth-dates. Then she said I haven't heard anything online because they're having problems with their systems. I still could not believe it and neither could my fiancee so she called them too and they also informed her that it was approved. Im gonna trust the two agents lol So I believe its official guys!

No updates as of yet on any of the two sites btw. 

I know the journey is just beginning but I wanted to thank everyone for the support so far and thank everyone for the prayers and wishful thinking!

Details: 
Packet sent: Jan 12th
Noa1: Jan 16th
Approval: September 5th (Day 232)

Thanks guys! Im happy this finally came through and without a RFE which would delay things even more. At least now the waits are shorter! 

And good luck to anyone still waiting on an approval. If I was able to hang in there, although barely lol, you guys will too.
