You're not alone in this. It's down 80% of the time and/or very slow for the rest of it.

You're right! It gets depressing when you have not one app to track your case but 5 apps and either they are slow or they all  say the same thing, "case recieved".

This process has been beyond frustrating. Still waiting PD of jan 4th. I dont think any work will be done in the next couple of weeks. 

Yea, did you file the I-129f also? I don't think it is helping people any more. I think youre right, I doubt any work will be done until afyer the New Year. We have heard nothing on either case and it is truly beyond frustrating.

Wild. (btw, I can't believe Texas is already in June 2019. I'm very salty.)

I might be coming to a former discussion topic (holiday travel to the US) a bit late, but I wanted to mention that my Japanese wife flew with me to the US three days ago with her ESTA in hand and got through immigration without incident. They asked us three expected questions about our trip, two of which I answered, then we were asked if we were planning to apply for an immigration visa for my wife and I told the officer that we were in-process and recently had our I-130 approved. The officer didn't even look at my wife's ESTA (said she didn't need to see it). Smiled, told us to have a good day, and waved us through. I was expecting my wife to be pulled out of line and questioned without me for an hour or so! I hope all the other holiday travelers here have the same smooth experience entering the US.
