Did quick status check to keep things in perspective.

Out of 245 August timelines currently listed, 61 approvals, and 6 RFEs. So 27% or so "touched" cases. Keep in mind based on historical data this number tend to cap out at about 75% as about 25% of all times lines are some combination of abandoned/withdrawn or (rarely) denied.

They don't approve petitions in order..so you have nothing to worry about

Yea. So the way I am handling things is just checking the websites a few times everyday and calling on Fridays just to make sure there's nothing negative that I somehow didn't get notified about. I think by the end of next week most of us should be approved and the week following that the only people left will be those that had to respond to RFEs.

I'm crossing my fingers that they start September NOA1's by the end of this month 😂 I'm so happy August is getting approved quickly !

We did it!!! We got approved with no RFE's!! I was getting nervous but the new site updated this morning and shows we were approved!!! Accckkkkkkk!!!!

Only one 8/21 has been touched and approved. There's 7 of us listed here waiting. I check daily...not worried or fretting. I do wonder how I'll react when I see 'approved' on sites or apps or if it shows up silently in my mailbox.

 

Congrats everyone...even those with RFEs because it means the end is in sight.
