Good luck!

We just got our text!  It says "Form I-797 TO FOLLOW in mail", just like that, without a  date, but we guess that's better than nothing

Well the visa journey prediction has given us an August 24th-29th adjudication date, but I haven’t seen the official date given by USCIS yet. I’m hoping it will be shorter than that when the letter comes through

Fingers crossed, keep us posted please 😊

Hello guys, does the government shutdown affect our processing time?

Hello AnaCarolina, please check the first three characters of your receipt number. It will indicate which centre your application has been sent to. Ours is sent to Potomac, which is one of the slowest after California. Our priority date is Dec 12.

Hi Everyone!

 

Great to find this December I-130 thread.

Hi! So I just checked and it has in fact been sent to YSC, which is a little confusing as Nebraska is our designated service center for Kansas. 

 

On the the plus side, when I changed the processing center on my timeline just moments ago, my “estimated” timeline for NOA2 moved from August 31st  to. May 19th.

Hello, ours was supposed to be Texas. My estimated timeline for NOA2 is between May and June currently. I checked Igor's list and Potomac is currently processing applications filed in August 2018 (Link below) so feeling quite optimistic.

That's great!  I definitely think that USCIS provides drastically longer processing dates that are accurate. I presume it's to stop people from calling up to inquire about their case. Thank you for pointing out the service center in the receipt number. It's made me really happy knowing that we're 3 months closer to processing (hopefully, anyway!)

You're most welcome. Praying that the timeline stays the same if not shorter. Il keep this thread posted if there are any developments.

Hey guys! We got our Form I-797 yesterday and we are in Potomac (YSC) too. We are feeling quite optimistic, our estimated time for NOA2 is between May 25 and June 2nd.

Hi! How would you know your estimated time for NOA 2?

By entering your NOA1 date into your profile on visajourney along with the processing center, they then give you an estimate range. Also from the USCIS website potomac processing time is 9 to 12 months.

Thank you AnaCarolina, we posted to Chicago and tracked the shipment, it has been delivered. But we haven't heard back from USCIS regarding receipt of application and priority date yet. Truly appreciate your updates.

Have you heard anything?
