This might sound silly but I’m just wondering if the websites also shows RFE notification or just the approval of the case. 

Both sites will let you know of both an RFE or Approval.

Thank you for taking time to answer! 😅 Hope it’s the approval soon tho and not RFE.

Hi all, I've been having a look on this site for a while but never had the guts to post. I received NOA1 in late September 2018. I see a lot of September people on here receiving NOA2 (yay!) but the USCIS processing page says it's processing from the end of June 2018, does this mean the cases they're currently giving NOA2 to? Please help a confused girl out lol

Thats the limit date that determines if your case is in "normal" processing time. So if your date (example) would be June 15 and the date they show is June 21, then youre officially considered "out of normal" processing time and you can file a formal inquiry.

 

I hope that made sense lol

Oh okay great thank you! So it’s normal that others from September are receiving NOA2, and ours could be soon or could be in a few months?

Exactly. As long as youre in that timeframe you're in normal processing time and can be approved now or up to 7.5 months from your NOA1 date. Any time after that you would start inquiries, etc..

 

But chin up! Hopefully you get that NOA2 sooner than later!

Two more things you can do:

Update your timeline,  because the data here is dependent upon us users, and

Do a search based on beneficiary's country,  visa type K1, processing center. 

Then you'll have a better idea of what to expect when. 

Good luck

Thanks for the advice! Just updated it

Sorry for really over doing it on this forum today lol. But got another question, how accurate are the timeline estimates? I know it's just an 'estimate' only but mine has come up saying 26th of Feb and I can't help but be excited for it!! Was anyones estimate accurate or wildly off?

Fairly accurate. But it can very dependant on how many people are updating their timelines,  and where the beneficiary is from, how common your names are, any criminal or marital history etc. I've seen it be accurate to within a couple of weeks most of the time. It does not and cannot predict how long your background check will take, if something comes up, it could add an extra month to your wait. No way to truly know.  Rule of thumb imo is if you've done everything on the I-129F right to the best of your ability, and you've got no history that would flag up on their background checks etc etc, the timeline should be fairly accurate. It gets more accurate closer to the date I've seen. It also helps to see if others with the same NOA1 date as you are getting NOA2s/RFEs, chances are your application is also being looked at if that's the case.
