I think you're right about it going by Received Date, because there was a tiny bit of movement in the later case numbers last week, but I think it's bc those cases had Received Dates in early October!

You think it goes by received date and not receipt date? Since my case has the 30th October receipt date, but they only received the case by 25 January 2021. 😔 Does this mean I am perhaps going to be in a much longer waiting period than expected, lile beyond the November-December cases even? 😢

I think it means 'received date' as indicated on your USCIS and in your NoA1. That is the one it is being backdated to from your notice date. By 'received date' for your case, do you mean your notice date? I don't seem to have a separate 'received date'.

Here's the weekly round up: some good news finally - they've processed ~4x as many I-129F cases per day this week compared to last (last week's avg. was 11 cases per day)!

 

Also, I was made aware that October filers have receipt numbers through 27000, so I've added an additional 10,000 cases to the total range. Hopefully, everyone from our month is captured now!

 

Been following the September and October K1 threads for sometime now, and cannot thank you enough for doing this data retrieval every week! Mine's 105XX with date received 21 Oct. Hope they pick up the pace and everyone can have a peace of mind 🙂

I think we're talking about the same date! Received Date = earlier date (i.e. the date the Case Was Received by USCIS), Notice Date = later date (i.e. the date they officially send you the NOA1)

 

For the chart, you should assume 30th Oct as your date!

Below is the online case status and the other one is when I log into USCIS, so that is where I got confused with what date is actually being honored. I am not sure what date is reflecting on the actual I-797 because our Attorney is not reaponding to my emails 🙄

Mine is pretty similar, for the same reason of delays. I have one in March and Jan 15th and have been using the earlier one for all calculations. If you have your I-797 (I hope you get through to your attorney!) it says received date is the one on which USCIS says it has been received. You should use October 30 - exciting!

I have the same thing. October 30th is your received date. Don't worry about the January 25TH date. I really think this website should ask for "Received date" instead of NOA-1 because the actual letter could be sent months later, like it did in most of the Oct - March Filers. And USCIS goes by Received date not the NOA-1 date.

Thank you 🙂, I really am praying for some good news soon, because 20 months without my fiancé is the worst part of my life. And for some reason my fiancé got told by our Attorney that our case will take about 2 more years after the almost 9 month wait for the approval. And I am absolutely baffled with why our Attorney would think that, perhaps back in October 2020 the process looked that it might take much longer, but a lot has changed since then. 

 

You guys on here have been my got to for information and some relief, because my Fiancé is currently having a really rough time with work as covid has thrown everything upside down and struggling with Anxiety and depression right now is making matters really hard especially if you have been told that you will only get to start your life with your fiance in +/- 3 years. This is why I tried to speak with our Attorney directly to get some answers instead of constantly asking my fiancé, but with no luck. All i got was "I will be in touch with you once the case gets approved and sent to the consulate in SA. 

 

Frustrating and making my blood boil, because I know I am only the benificiary in this case, but I just want to know what documents I can get ready in the meantime to eliminate extra waiting time, because we all know things might take longer nowadays with covid.

 

And the most important question I had was in regards with Police Clearances, because I was in the US for 3 years and lived in 4 different states over that period. Perhaps someone here will know if I would need 4 separate clearances for each state and how I should go to work?, because I am not even sure how long of a wait that will be.

 

I am just holding onto hope over here that soon we will get feedback from USCIS in order to have some sort of a timeline and not be in limbo. 

 

Sorry for venting 🙈

No, not at all - venting, I've come to realise is too much a part of the process, as is the anxiety of it all. I'm relatively new, so we haven't hit peak calamity yet, but with the COVID situation in India, I'm not sure it is going to be much of a smooth ride. With regard to police certificates, I have come to understand that you don't need it for your time in the US (from our attorney) , just any other countries you have lived in since age 16. Maybe check with yours too?

i am sorry I feel you it is really annoying process. about the waitng time after you get your approval it is depend on the situation of the embassy you are going to go .some countries are doing not bad whereas others like london has backlog and takes longer .also in some countries the situation still doesnot back to normal and have restrictions

I hope for you guys as well that things will start looking up as we wait. All one can have is hope*

And lol I will have my answer if our Attorney decides to one day respond to my emails.

When I checked my case tracker today they sent out 4 REF so I know they work because my  NOA 1 date is October 19. They are working everyone just keep praying and waiting.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a specific case tracker application that you use? How do I find it? I think it might help me stay afloat mentally - thanks!

Case tracker for Uscis

Does anyone know if this is correct and if the USCIS backtrack their dates like this on a frequent basis?

 

Earlier today the California case processing was at 5.5-7.5 months and on 9 October 2020 as the case enquiry date... and now it suddenly moved backwards to 6-8 months and 24 September 2020 case enquiry date? 

 

Is this normal?
