I'm pretty sure you'll get an approval today or tomorrow 😃 - from what I've seen on Facebook, there are always two or three date changes (one day after the other) before an approval.

 

My case date has been changing everyday for last 3 weeks. But no updates yet.pD Oct 8th 2019.

I just finished chatting with a live agent and she said my case was transferred from Nebraska to Vermont on February 23. This is a little disappointing considering Vermont and California have the slowest processing rate, but I was reading on November filers thread that some who have had their cases transferred from Texas and Nebraska were  approved according the the original service center time lines; I hope that's the case for all transfers.

My latest date change was May 7.

Good luck to you all and hope we can see more October filers approvals soon!

I was transferred from Nebraska to California and was approved within 6 months. Vermont and California are actually approving cases pretty fast. Stay hopeful.

I guess im the lone wolf that hasnt been approved yet my NOA1 was October 17 at Texas Service center and has never been transfered , sad to see everyone else getting approved but my approval hasnt came in yet

We haven’t been approved yet either 😔

PD October 7th, transfer from Nebraska to Texas. Tier 2 told hubby that we’re in line for review a month ago and nothing happened yet! Hoping that the out of normal processing times inquiry we submitted last week will help! 🙏🏻
 

Happy for all October-Filers that have been approved so far! 🎉🥳

@B&C2017I'm pretty sure you will receive your approval soon. I think the inquiry helps a lot. Stay positive :)

 

Does anyone knows what's next? I know we have to wait for the NVC letter and then we will need to pay the fees but do you know what documents we will need to upload?

Well, we wanted to expedite but they transferred to a tier 2 and basically denied our wish to expedite before putting it in 🙈 On that occasion we asked about the status and she just said background check is done and we’re in line - whatever that means 🤷🏼‍♀️
