Per the VJ processing times list, at least SOME are being approved from January........USCIS has been known to give poor information.

Why did you call them?  For what reason?  The "date" is nothing more than a VJ prediction and nothing more.  

 

Calling uscis for this kind of question is pointless because it simply gets you a standard answer.  The same answer you can get all by yourself looking at the website

Remember that the timelines serve as merely an estimation of when your approval can come, not an accurate assertion, this information comes from what users input in, so that already by default does not make it a 100% reliable source. Be patient and strong as the "official" USCIS processing time is 5.5 to 7.5 months

This type of question gets asked weekly.   The answer is always the same

Hey missile man ! How are you ! Leaving Tuesday to go see my fiancé and spend a week in Cyprus! I was hoping to bring good news to her ! That we on to next section ! Just want this section done with ! Lol

[Rusk Marcotte 20]

I wished they had a better way of knowing really where you are in process ! Maybe I just don’t understand! Do they start on it when they get it are when they pull your file ! I just want to know if I filled it out wright and not have further delay ! 

Who knows ! Lol I just have to wait !

Somebody will virtually always have their case adjudicated before you despite filing after you.

Similarly, your case will almost certainly be adjudicated before somebody that filed before you.

There is no fixed date of "here's the cases we are processing right now". The majority of cases typically fall into a few week to couple month span, with some outliers in either direction.

USCIS will tell you the cutoff date for being "out of normal processing time".

 

They will not tell you the date they're working on (well, a tier 1 type that doesn't really understand how things work might tell you the "Receipt date for a case inquiry" is the date they're working on), because different adjucators are working on cases from different dates every day. For a lot of reasons, the official processing times and cutoff dates for the ability to inquire are very conservative.

 

If you look at the chart on the Igor's List page you can see how the last 12 months compare to each other as reported by posters here. It's my belief that VJ posters are a large enough percentage of I-129F filers to be a reasonably representative sample, so when about 70% of timelines for a month have NOA2 reported here, it's pretty much done (there may be a handful of slow-processing cases, withdrawn positions, and denials, but most of the remaining 30% are cases where they created a timeline and didn't update it). By that standard, despite the official "Receipt date for a case inquiry", not only is October pretty much done, so is November. And December is getting very close.

See to me I took it that way if everyone is reporting truthfully ! I think they are ! So what that said ! This would be a good sample of the process ! Now how many are not on VJ is the question on the I-129f

I would agree that nobody is doing it with any malice, however,  there are many who think the petition is at the Texas service center just because they sent it to a Texas address.   There have been a few whose petitions were approved a year before they were initially filed.   Innocent errors do occur in the data

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the K-1 Case Progress subforum.

I think the best piece of advice I found on this forum was "Send in you I-129f, and get on with your life! You will be pleasantly surprised when it does get approval!" Seriously, go and visit your fiance and maybe when you return you will have your I-797 waiting when you return.
