yea its interesting to see how some people filed theirs in Jan at CSC and got their NOA2 in April/ May... then theres the rest of us still waiting from Nov/ Dec lol

yeah, I agree, it's pretty strange. Though even though the NOA2's seem to be trickling in, it seems the majority of them are from Dec'ish now

[Cody&Razely 134]

Wow 4 approvals ea. day for two days consecutively, nice to see  and 3 the day prior to those two days; it's already off to a banner month here in June, especially when compared to last months dismal overall numbers. 3 yesterday were from Early Dec. and one being from Feb. a bit of a spread there. The previous 4 were from Nov-Jan, seems kind of all over the map, but at least they are working the back log, I hope these daily numbers keep up, that will bode very well for all  if so it could be an 80 bomb this month (which I doubt would happen) but one can hope, haven't seen numbers that high since a few months ago with i-129f approval numbers in the 60's per month, hope we can get back to that! (at least amongst VJ members, not sure of the overall totals processed by UCSIS CSC)

Meanwhile the VJ processing times counter is back to Jan. 14th from the 17th again lol, though I know the counter is a slave to the data and peoples timelines, I still muse as to why it keeps jumping around so much while most of the progress is made on weekends and then slides backwards, towards the end of the week. But that's the outcome of hundreds of sources of data input would be my guess.

I wonder if there is a way to black out the weekend dates in the timeline calendar, so when people update their timelines they have to input the actual date of NOA2, Received by NVC, etc.... since none of that actually happens on the weekends (at least not to my knowledge).

None of the dates match up! We got our NOA 1 on Jan 21st and had our NOA 2 71 days later ON april 1st! crazy!!

Yet another person i know got their NOA 1 one day after ours and they just got their NOA 2 two days ago!

Holy Cow! Your timeline was crazy fast!!!  and the other is pretty quick also compared to the avg. majority of others lately, especially since the start of 2020 till now. Well, first of all Congrats!! literally, no worries, no headaches, no stress, nothing like that involved with your i-129f petition processing, that's awesome! And it looks like ya'll have been moving right along just as quickly through the next stages as well. 

I really, really wonder what makes the differences and such diverging time lines lately though, it seems to really be getting spread out. One of the Mysteries of the universe we will never unravel I guess lol.

Yeah none of it makes any sense, i was extremely shocked when we got our NOA 2 when we did!

I can’t say i’ve seen it much faster. Just means we are currently held up with the embassies being closed but i’m not too bothered with that atm, the thing i’m bothered about is not being able to see her since january, it’s tough.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, fast to USEM = Fast to wait lol, but at least you've got some approvals out of the way, I think it helps ease the tension. But yeah on the other note, I feel you there, I'm in the same boat; haven't seen my fiance since Early Dec 2019 and it is very tough. Actually I had everything booked, planes, hotels, activities, all packed and ready to go and then due to stupid-19 everything locked down a few days before my departure date, so just a waiting game now. Hope it will look up soon for everyone's sake.

Better hold those horses. Many of us with NOA1 in December are still waiting, and even some in November.

Hey! Congratulations on the approval!

Is it normal to see your estimated approval date being pushed later every day? Mine originally started at July 28th and is now currently at September 24th. Every day it gets 1-4 days later than yesterday's date. I am kind of new to the website so just trying to understand how that works.

well, I'm not sure what is "normal" for this site, but in the last few months my time line was pulling in starting from Jun. 6th to Jun 28th, all the way to May. 25th - May 29th and then subsequently pushing back out steadily until now it is sitting at Jun. 17th - Jul. 3rd lol additionally the Processing estimates here have been running forwards AND backwards lol daily some times as much as a week over night. 

  Though keep in mind all of the estimator tools and time line forecasting is based on data from users input and in turn that is based on what the USCIS CSC is actually doing (for the most part) lately the processing has gone from a linear (somewhat) first come first serve processing on average to in may/april being all over the map with approvals from 2 month old submission to 6-7 month old submission, and to add to the scatter of forecasting here the time lines have been extending as the "crisis 😜 " has taken over the masses minds world wide casing changes in processing times, not only for older cases but new as well, so I think the changes daily are a product of a lot of factors to include random processing of petitions from all over the time line, extended processing times at large and the recent change in said areas. at this time, I would suggest putting your own forecast in excel or something out to 168 days NOA1 to NOA2 and let that be your expectation and if it come sooner great, if not you won't be disappointing (except however if it takes max days i.e. 212 before you can call to get an update)

06/15/20: 8AM - Well the numbers are up this month, it's looking a lot better then last and continuing. Although the Avg. Processing times recently spiked pretty high it has however come down a bit as the month progresses from an original 168 days to now just 160 days Avg. processing time. The Current Total of VJ member approvals in the first half of June is 50 thus far!  Lets hope the trend carries, for all who are waiting  

      The Trend is approx. a 50/50 split between Nov./Dec. and Jan./(smidgen of Feb.) of approvals with what seems to be now an equal amount of attention on both 2019/2020. So hopefully  they can clear out the backlog and move forward efficiently and timely and stay on top of the future petitions as well. 

      Though, the attention shift as of late towards processing the backlogs has primarily fed the higher avg. processing times of 160 days (previously 168 days), in any case even current timelines (not withstanding the backlogs) sit at a higher than normal Avg. of 137 days still.

Good Luck to all!

Kind of Wondering if the CSC will start to show an up tick in Feb. petitions soon as I've checked the numbers and it would seem they are running pretty low on Nov. Dec. and Jan. (at least per the data from those who actually have time lines) I certainly hope to see some progress there soon
