My timeline on here changed by a couple days, i I feel like the process might be speeding up, fingers crossed!! 

So did mine ! Every time it changes I get so happy. May filers are getting their NOA2 now, we are one month closer !

I might be wrong but it seems like the number of applicants were higher in earlier part of year. So, perhaps May, June, and July apps might get processed a bit quicker. Fingers crossed!!

There are definitely fewer apps in June, July, and August at least those who created VJ timelines. February and March seems to have high numbers.. possibly proximity to single appreciation day. Having said that, Jule and August apps will be around December/January, which means holidays, and USCIS will be  run by skeleton crew I bet.

This's actually incorrect. More people tend to file petitions between August and November. Call it summer love.😁

 The numbers tend to fall off till around December  or January and start heading upwards.

 

this graph if a year old but, if u add up total petitions u can see what I mean.

Got another  "nothing happened, but we still remember you" ping from USCIS. This is my 3rd. Seems like they are happening every 2 weeks now. Strangely both comforting, and annoying as I got a bit of jolt seeing "USCIS" notification on my telephone SMS.

That sounds frustrating 😓I guess they decided to implement an automated system to avoid people calling them to check in on their cases or something...as far as I know neither me nor my fiance have received any additional notifications after we got the digital NOA1, did you sign up for something extra aside from the G-1145?

Guessing it is from https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant/settings also known as "new" USCIS site. There is an option for notification there.

Weird... I signed up for notifications and I haven’t gotten anything yet! Well once I did in the beginning .. but that’s it 😩

Is this the same website where you create and username and password to check the status of your petition?

I think I like the older website better, or maybe I’m just not familiar with navigating this one. Also when I check the processing times for I 129f visas it tells me they’re working on cases from March, when there’s people on here from May being accepted, maybe that’s an automatic system that hasn’t been updated correctly...

Yeah the processing dates on the USCIS website are so off. If I didn’t know of VJ I would be really sad that they’re that “behind” ...

It’s weird because even on here the processing date is April 13! If I didn’t check the May thread non stop I wouldn’t have known they’re starting to get approved!

yeah it seems like the times given are a little off , I started stalking June and July as well , our noa2 seems so close yet so far away
