I hope the rest get their approval soon.

 

In mean time I have a question. On the NOA2 letter there is approval of notice valid from 14/06/2021 till 13/10/2021 time frame. Does anyone know what this approval time frame mean?

 

Thank you in Advance :)

 

It means that you have to schedule the interview at your embassy before the expiring date. If the embassy has problem with scheduling, you can get an extention but I guess you have to tell them in advance.

thanks so much . i have a question when they start processing a month do they start in order from fist day of the month till end of the month or when they start processing November they process all dates at the same time I mean some process begining some middle of the month and some end of the month ?

I'm relatively inexperienced on this platform, but it's reassuring and heartwarming to see so many similarly situated folks agonizing just like me! My NOA1 was October 26, 2020; still no word yet. A special thank you to whoever maintains and updates that spreadsheet. It looks like there were a number of approvals given today to those between 11750 and 12000. I'm not sure if that is consistent with recent trends or shows that they are getting these October cases processed quicker after all. Curious to hear the opinions of others. Thanks!

I was told they process applications by receive date and not WAC number but USCIS screwed up big time between October 1st and November só on top of being the government (which is messy enough already) we have to deal with inconsistency and lack of criteria. They could care less of course - we have to sit and wait….

it's kind of both: they initially go in order from the 1st day of the month through to the last, but there are always cases from earlier days of the month that don't get looked at until far later. for example, Oct 30 cases had to wait for movement to start on every date of Oct prior to them, but now some Oct 30 filers are approved while many Oct 23 filers are still waiting. i'm really not sure why that's the case...

Stupid question: what do you mean by the “extra 2 days”? Thanks!

not at all! when i did the previous update, it was mid-week and accounted for Mon-Wed's USCIS activity (3 working days). the end of week update then adds Th-Fri numbers so it's 5 working days total

Silly question

 

Isn't WAC number private? Or is it like public information provided by USCIS?

 

How accurate are these apps to change the filing status from received to approved etc? I am using the app for android USCIS case which let's me search 100 numbers at a time.

 

 

Screenshot_20210629-135831_USCIS Case.jpg

  • Jan 26, 2021 = NOA 1 for I-129F (K1 Visa application)
  • Sep 8, 2021 = NOA 2 for I-129F (K1 Visa application)
  • Nov 16, 2021 =  K1 visa issued in Islamabad, Pakistan
  • Jan 20, 2022 = POE Dallas, Texas
  • Feb 14, 2022 = AOS (I-451, I-131, I765) Filed
  • Feb 20, 2022 = Receipt notice for all three received
  • March 21, 2022 = Biometrics in Dallas, Texas
  • August 9, 2022 = EAD (I-751 approved)
  • August 13, 2022 = EAD and SSN received (SSN applied with EAD)
  • September 6, 2022 = AP (I-131 approved)
  • September 13, 2022 = AP (I-131 receieved) 
  • March 15, 2023 = I-485 approved (interview waived, New SSN received without DHS wording)

It’s public info but your details will not be made public. So no one knows the name of the petitioner and beneficiary and details unless they are somehow able to link it to a case number which the person would have to disclose themselves or there was a huge hack and leak of info 

we last saw each other: March 2020
I-129F sent: 12/24/2020

USCIS received: 12/29/2020

NOA1 notice date: 2/27/2021

NOA1 receipt date (backdated): 12/28/2020

NOA2: 08/11/2021

NOA2 paper copy: 08/18/2021

NVC received: 08/25/2021

It's good because I used that one when I was waiting for my Nov approval. It worked perfectly.
